The impact of such vulnerability is difficult to measure and depends on the specifics of the deployment. Typically, this can allow attackers to connect to other systems, bypassing controls or be abused to trick users and browsers into performing actions they wouldn't otherwise consider (XSS, phishing, ...). This particular vulnerability can also be abused to create a powerful Denial of Service: a single recursive proxy-request will take the application server down and, depending on the configuration of the server, might severely affect unrelated services. ===================================================================== Versions affected: Umbraco version 4.7.0 tested. ===================================================================== Threat mitigation Matta consultants recommend deleting the FeedProxy script or upgrading umbraco to version 5+. ===================================================================== Credits This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Florent Daigniere from Matta Consulting. ===================================================================== History 26-01-12 initial discovery 21-02-12 initial attempt to contact the vendor 24-02-12 second attempt to contact the vendor 27-02-12 third attempt to contact the vendor 27-02-12 response from the vendor \o/ 27-02-12 draft of this advisory is sent to the vendor 29-02-12 CVE-2012-1301 is assigned 05-04-12 publication of the advisory ===================================================================== About Matta Matta is a privately held company with Headquarters in London, and a European office in Amsterdam.
