It was possible to perform redirect, cookie theft, and unrestricted HTML injection attacks against an ASP .NET application setup in a test environment. ProCheckUp has also found this issue to be exploitable while carrying out penetration tests on several customer's live environments. **Notes:** In order to exploit this flaw, an attacker would need to target a .NET server-side application whichdoes not sanitize input parameters properly before being returned back to the web browser. Proof of concept: In the following examples 'vuln-search.aspx' is a script that solely relies on ASP .NET request filtering, and returns user-supplied input back to the browser. Alert box injection - simply provided for testing purposes (may cause DoS issues on Internet Explorer) http://target/vuln-search.aspx?term= Redirection Attack http://target/vuln-search.aspx?term= Cookie stealing http://target/vuln-search.aspx?term= where 'xss.js' could contain a snippet that overwrites the entire document's HTML body. i.e.: document.body.innerHTML = 'since we can now insert brakets without having to escape the request filtering, we\'re free to insert any HTML tags


'; myform.login.focus(); **Consequences: ** Attackers can hijack user accounts through XSS and HTML injection attacks against vulnerable applications that solely rely on ASP .NET request filtering. **Fix:** [http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-040.mspx](http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-040.mspx) **References: ** [http://www.procheckup.com/](http://www.procheckup.com/) [http://www.cpni.gov.uk/docs/re-20061020-00710.pdf](http://www.cpni.gov.uk/docs/re-20061020-00710.pdf) [http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_.NET_Project ](http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_.NET_Project%20) **Legal:** Copyright 2007 Procheckup Ltd.
