SourceForge vulnerable to XSS injection

A security researcher WilyXem from spain has discovered Reflected cross site scripting vulnerability in SourceForge(sourceforge.net).

SourceForge is a web-based source code repository. It acts as a centralized location for software developers to control and manage free and open source software development.

The vulnerability exists in the job finding page of sourceforge. The developer fails to validate input coming frin the text box that allows user to search jobs.

This left the text field vulnerable to attack.



The poc code:
sourceforge.net/jobs?age=1&text=1%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%22WilyXem%20==%20UnderC0de.org%22%29%3C/script%3E&zip=10003&submit=Search

CVE-2012-5664 :All Ruby on Rails versions vulnerable to SQL Injection vulnerability


A SQL Injection vulnerability has been discovered in Ruby on Rails that affects  all current versions of the web framework.

According to the advisory, due to the way dynamic finders in Active Record extract options from method parameters, a method parameter can mistakenly be used as a scope.

A Hacker can manipulate it carefully and thereby inject arbitrary SQL code leading to an SQL injection.

Dynamic finders use the method name to determine what field to search, so calls such as: Post.find_by_id(params[:id]) would be vulnerable to an attack.
 
The vulnerability has been fixed in the latest released version 3.2.10, 3.1.9, 3.0.18. All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the work arounds immediately.

The Vulnerability was disclosed on the the Phenoelit blog in late December  where author used the technique to extract user credentials bypassing the authlogic authentication framework.

Clickjacking vulnerability in Microsoft Social Network Socl

clickjacking

An Indian Security Researcher , Nikhil P Kulkarni, has discovered Clickjacking vulnerability in the Microsoft's Social network SOCL(so.cl).
Clickjacking, also referred as "User Interface redress attack" and "UI redress attack", is one type of website hacking technique where hacker use multiple transparent layers to trick a user into clicking on something different to what the user perceives they are clicking on.


In a POC provided to EHN, the researcher demonstrated the clickjacking vulnerability.  In a html file, the top layer says "click below to win your prize money". But , in background, the SOCL page was loaded. When a user click the "click here" button, it will post message in the victim's wall.

The researcher discovered the vulnerability in August and sent notification to Microsoft. Initially, Microsoft rejected it nearly 5 times and told researcher that it was not a vulnerability.

But recently, they realized that all his POC's were right and have rectified that vulnerability. They have decided to put his name in their hall of fame page.

IE vulnerability allows attackers to track mouse cursor, even if IE window is inactive


Internaut often use virtual keyboard while typing their password in order to protect their data from being stolen from Keyloggers.  It seems like a new bug in IE makes the virtual keyboard insecure.

A security researcher from Spider.io claimed to have discovered a security flaw in the Internet Explorer versions 6 through 10, could allow hackers to track user's mouse movements , even if the IE window is minimized.

"Internet Explorer’s event model populates the global Event object with some attributes relating to mouse events, even in situations where it should not. " Explained in the Spider.io.

"Combined with the ability to trigger events manually using the fireEvent() method, this allows JavaScript in any webpage (or in any iframe within any webpage) to poll for the position of the mouse cursor anywhere on the screen and at any time—even when the tab containing the page is not active, or when the Internet Explorer window is unfocused or minimized. The fireEvent() method also exposes the status of the control, shift and alt keys."
The Demo of the bug can be found here:
http://iedataleak.spider.io/demo


They have also created a game(iedataleak.spider.io) to illustrate how easily this security vulnerability in Internet Explorer may be exploited to compromise the security of virtual keyboards and virtual keypads.

Cyber criminals inject malicious java applet into Trading FOREX site


A FOREX Trading website was injected with a malicious java applet that is designed to drop the malware file on visitors system.

A Popular FOREX (foreign exchange market) website called "Trading Forex" (tradingforex.com) has been infected by the malware, according to WebSense report.

malicious java
Injected applet code

The dropped backdoor from the Trading Forex website is written in Visual Basic.Net and requires the Microsoft's .NET framework to be successfully installed and operational on a victim's computer. It seems like hacker target only those who use .NET framework or they only know .NET coding?!

It is not usual Java exploit Jar . It is simple Java file that loads an exe file hosted in the malware site.

"Basically the Java code is just another Java loader which requires user interaction to successfully load the binary file '123.exe'. One interesting point in the screenshot above is that we can also see in the MANIFEST-INF that the Java applet has been signed with a certificate." Researcher said.

Once again, Kapil Sibal's official website hacked by Anonymous India

Indian Anonymous hacktivists

Once again, Indian Anonymous hacker group has breached the official website of India's Communication and Information Technology Minister Kapil Sibal(www.kapilsibalmp.com).

Now, they have defaced the website and left the following message:

Kapil Sibal is the world’s biggest retard. Born with a below 60 IQ he thought he could mess with the Internet and let the elite of his party suppress freedom of speech. Although a retard, he somehow formed the rules in such a way, that everyone can censor everyone there by hiding behind everyone to be able to censor when really hurt him and his party. Confusing isnt?

The hack was announced via the Anonymous India twitter account @opindia_revenge. The hackers said they hacked the website because "He (Sibal) had used the words 'Victims of freedom of Expression'. He is hiding the fact that #66A is breaking the internet media."

Besides the hack of Minister website, they have also hacked into the official website of Government of Mizoram, India and defaced the site with a protest message.

"To United States and Europian countries, you claim that you protect the world, help the oppressed and claim democracy."

"But our revolution exposed your real faces and showed humanity that you are advocates of your own interests and that you don't have a humanitarian principle in what you claim, you only raise those banners to occupy nations, inslave their people and steal their treasures just like you did in Iraq and Afghanistan and other places, and maybe soon in Mali"
