-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ADVISORY NUMBER 042213 CVE-2013-2290 TITLE Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in ArubaOS Administration Web Interface. SUMMARY A persistent Cross Site Scripting vulnerability (XSS) was discovered through which an attacker could plant an AP with maliciously crafted SSID in the general vicinity of the wireless LAN and might be able to trigger a XSS attack in the dashboard section of the ArubaOS Administration WebUI. AFFECTED VERSIONS - - - ArubaOS 6.1.x, 6.2.x, 6.1.X-FIPS DETAILS ArubaOS maintains information on all wireless network SSIDs and APs visible on the wireless network and the general vicinity. This information is used for security and reporting purposes. An attacker could plant an AP with maliciously crafted SSID and might trigger a XSS vulnerability in certain sections of the ArubaOS Administration WebUIs related to the monitoring dashboard. This vulnerability would manifest when administrator would log in to the WebUI and browse to the dashboard section. This vulnerability requires the administrator to be successfully logged in with valid credentials. However the malicious AP does not have to be beaconing the SSID continuously as the SSID information is stored in the controller for some time for reporting purposes after it is first observed. DISCOVERY This vulnerability was discovered by Deral Heiland, Senior Security Engineer with CDW Corporation. IMPACT An attacker could plant an AP with maliciously crafted SSID in the general vicinity of the wireless LAN and might trigger a XSS vulnerability in the dashboard section of the ArubaOS WebUI. This vulnerability could potentially be used to execute commands on the controller with admin credentials. NOTE: This vulnerability manifests when the administrator is successfully logged in with valid credentials and browses to the affected dashboard sections of the ArubaOS WebUI.
