It may be worth noting that the 2.0 and 2.1 releases are also vulnerable, however 1.0 does not seem to be (getting worse, as 4.x introduces a drop-down list of user names to choose from as well). Also, it runs on some systems on port 49400 and https on 2381 (as well as the 2301 mentioned below). As for a "3rd party software tool" flagging all web servers as vulnerable, well... I can only answer for Nikto, but yes indeed it will report a vulnerable system as vulnerable, as it does with the Compaq server. Exploiting for "value" is another discussion entirely, but I do get a nice popup by injecting javascript. -Sullo Taylor Huff wrote:
Advisory name: XSS bug in Compaq Insight Manager Http server Application: Compaq Insight Manager Http server Date: 01.10.2002 Impact: XSS code execution [DESCRIPTION] XSS bug in Compaq Insight Manager Http server [ISSUE] The Compaq Insight Manager Http server is vulnerable to the Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is caused by the results returned to a user when a non-existing file is requested. The vulnerability would allow an attacker to make the server present another user with malicious JavaScript/HTML code that is interpreted and executed without the users knowledge (e.g. the result contains the JavaScript provided in the request). This vulnerability was identified with a popular open-source vulnerability assessment tool and confirmed using the following XSS test. [XSS TEST] http://<Server IP>:2301/<script>alert('Test')</script> [VERSIONS TESTED] CompaqHTTPServer/4.2 CompaqHTTPServer/4.37 [SUPPORTING INFO] http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-02.html [VENDOR RESPONSE] There is a 3rd party software tool that can be used for security assessments that flags any web server as potentially having this problem. Our web servers do not, to our knowledge, have this vulnerability. We have investigated it but it is a non-issue for us. This issue is just a 'potential vulnerability' rather than a 'for sure' problem. In other words, the tool is guessing that all web servers can have this problem. Thank You, HP E-Services
