TITLE:
Parallels Power Panel Cross-Site Request Forgeries
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29675
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29675/
CRITICAL:
Moderately critical
IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, System access
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
Parallels Power Panel 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/18305/
DESCRIPTION:
poplix has reported some vulnerabilities in Parallels VZPP, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to the application allowing users
to perform certain actions in e.g. the "change password" and "file
manager" sections via HTTP requests without performing any validity
checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g. change
the administrator's password or overwrite arbitrary files by tricking
an administrator into opening a malicious web page.
Successful exploitation may lead to a full system compromise.
SOLUTION:
Do not browse other sites while being logged into Parallels Power
Panel.
Reportedly, some of the problems are fixed in "version 365.6.swsoft
(build: 4.0.0-365.6.swsoft)".
