Softing edgeAggregator Permissive Cross-domain Policy with Untrusted Domains Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Softing edgeAggregator. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the configuration of the web server. The issue results from the lack of appropriate Content Security Policy headers. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-20542.

Weakness

The product uses a web-client protection mechanism such as a Content Security Policy (CSP) or cross-domain policy file, but the policy includes untrusted domains with which the web client is allowed to communicate.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Edgeaggregator Softing * 3.50 (excluding)
Edgeconnector Softing * 3.50 (excluding)
Secure_integration_server Softing * 1.30 (excluding)

Extended Description

If a cross-domain policy file includes domains that should not be trusted, such as when using wildcards under a high-level domain, then the application could be attacked by these untrusted domains. In many cases, the attack can be launched without the victim even being aware of it.
