The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). An example of a network attack is an attacker causing a denial of service by sending a specially crafted TCP packet across a wide area network (e.g., CVE-2004-0230).
Attack Complexity
Low
AC
The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Privileges Required
None
PR
The attacker is unauthenticated prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
Scope
Unchanged
S
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In the case of a vulnerability in a virtualized environment, an exploited vulnerability in one guest instance would not affect neighboring guest instances.
Confidentiality
Low
C
There is some impact on confidentiality, but the attacker either does not gain control of any data, or the information obtained does not have a significant impact on the system or its operations.
Integrity
Low
I
Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over what can be modified, or the extent of what the attacker can affect is limited. The data modified does not have a direct, serious impact on the system.
Availability
None
A
There is no impact on the availability of the system; the attacker does not have the ability to disrupt access to or use of the system.

Remote
Severity Level:
===============
Medium
Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple persistent input validation web vulnerabilities has been discovered in the official Dell SonicWall EMail Security Appliance v7.4.6 Web-Application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers or low privileged user accounts to inject own malicious script codes via POST method request to compromise the
application or user session data/information.
The first vulnerability is located in the `filename` value of the `settings_advanced.html` file. Remote attackers and low privileged application user accounts
are able to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the `Advanced Settings - Patch hochladen > Patch-Datei` module. Attackers can manipulate
the file upload POST method request by tampering the session. Next to tampering the session the attacker exchange the file name with a malicious script code
as payload. In the next step the website reloads the next firmware upgrade page (wait.html) with the file details. The execute of the injected script code
via POST method request occurs at the location of the listed file name value. The security risk of the persistent validation web vulnerability is estimated
as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.5(-).
The second vulnerability is located in the file name value of the settings_upload_dlicense.html file. Remote attackers and low privileged application user accounts
are able to inject own malicious script codes to the application-side of the Lizenz Verwaltung - Lizenzen Upload module. The request method is POST and the attack
vector is persistent. The execute occurs in the exception context of the license update page module. The security risk of the persistent validation web
vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.0(+).
Exploitation of both vulnerabilities requires to bypass the regular validation of the web application appliance. To bypass the filter remote attackers can inject two
payloads with a split in the middle. The validation encodes the first injected payload and the second after the split executes the code.
Exploitation of the remote web vulnerabilities requires a privileged user account without user interaction or a remote user with medium to high user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the persistent web vulnerabilities results in session hijacking, persistent external redirects, persistent phishing and persistent
manipulation of vulnerable connected or affected modules.
Request Method:
[+] POST
Vulnerable Module:
[+] Advanced Settings - Patch hochladen > Patch-Datei (settings_advanced.html)
[+] Lizenz Verwaltung - Lizenzen Upload > (settings_upload_dlicense.html)
Vulnerable Parameter(s):

Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The two persistent input validation web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged email security application user account and

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
Both vulnerabilities can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the file name value in the 2 affected upload POST method requests.
Filter and encode also in the wait.html and license exception the vulnerable output values even if the input is still parsed.
SonicWall Solution:
============
We recommend existing users of Dell SonicWALL Email Security upgrade to version 7.4.6 to prevent this cross-site script injection from being executed by unauthorized users.
Email Security 7.4.6 is available for download from www.mysonicwall.com. Users should log into mySonicWALL and click on Downloads > Download Center in the navigation panel
in the left-hand navigation, then select Email Security in the Software Type drop down menu.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent and non persistent post inject web vulnerabilities are estimated as medium.
