The Recruitment module in Humanica Humatrix 7 1.0.0.203 and 1.0.0.681 allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload any file type to a candidates profile picture folder via a crafted recruitment_online/personalData/act_personaltab.cfm multiple-part POST request with a predictable WRC01_USERID parameter. Moreover, the attacker can upload executable content (e.g., asp or aspx) for executing OS commands on the server.

Weakness

The product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers.

Potential Mitigations

  • Use a well-vetted algorithm that is currently considered to be strong by experts in the field, and select well-tested implementations with adequate length seeds.
  • In general, if a pseudo-random number generator is not advertised as being cryptographically secure, then it is probably a statistical PRNG and should not be used in security-sensitive contexts.
  • Pseudo-random number generators can produce predictable numbers if the generator is known and the seed can be guessed. A 256-bit seed is a good starting point for producing a “random enough” number.
