Management Console HTML Injection and Cross-Site Scripting

Overview
The management console for Symantec Data Insight does not sufficiently
validate/sanitize arbitrary input in two separate fields within the management
GUI. This could potentially allow unauthorized command execution or potential
malicious redirection.
Affected Products
Product Version Build Solution(s)
Symantec Data Insight 3.x All Symantec Data Insight 4.5
Symantec Data Insight 4.x All prior to 4.5 Symantec Data Insight 4.5
Details
Symantec Data Insight does not properly validate or sanitize external input to
user accessible fields on some forms available for use on the management
console.
Cross-site scripting and html injection vulnerabilities were reported in forms
available through the Symantec Data Insight management console. Cross-site
scripting and HTML injection are trust exploitations generally requiring a
malicious non-authenticated attacker enticing an authenticated user to click
on a malicious link or a malicious network user with authorized or
unauthorized access to the vulnerable fields able to inject malicious
arbitrary scripts. A successful exploitation, depending on the nature of the
attack, could potentially result in arbitrary html scripts executed in the
context of the targeted user or the application depending on the vulnerable
field being targeted.
In a normal installation, the Symantec Data Insight management console should
not be accessible external to the network. However, an authorized but
unprivileged network user or an external attacker able to leverage network
access could attempt to exploit these weaknesses.
Symantec Response
Symantec product engineers verified these issues and have released updates to
resolve them. Customers should update to Symantec Data Insight 4.5.
Symantec is not aware of exploitation of or adverse customer impact from these
issues.
Update Information
Symantec Data Insight 4.5 is available through Symantec File Connect.
Best Practices
As part of normal best practices, Symantec strongly recommends the following:
Restrict access to administrative or management systems to authorized
privileged users.
Restrict remote access, if required, to trusted/authorized systems only.
Run under the principle of least privilege where possible to limit the impact
of potential exploit.
Keep all operating systems and applications current with vendor patches.
Follow a multi-layered approach to security. At a minimum, run both firewall
and anti-malware applications to provide multiple points of detection and
protection to both inbound and outbound threats.
Deploy network- and host-based intrusion detection systems to monitor network
traffic for signs of anomalous or suspicious activity. This may aid in the
detection of attacks or malicious activity related to the exploitation of
latent vulnerabilities.
