The Barracuda Web Filter combines preventative, reactive, and proactive measures to form a complete Web
filtering solution. Designed for the enterprise, the Barracuda Web Filter enables you to set up custom policies
for particular users and groups across customizable time ranges. The Barracuda Web Filter integrates with popular
LDAP directory servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory, for both authentication and group membership
information on which to apply custom policies. Sample uses of group policies include:
Restricting access to job board Web sites to only the Human Resources group
Defining separate policies for teachers and students at a school
Enabling compliance officers unrestricted access to the Web for investigation
Providing external instant messaging (e.g., AIM) access only to specific users or groups
Restricting personal Web browsing to non-working hours
For organizations that do not utilize directory servers, policies can be defined for unauthenticated users as a whole,
locally defined users and groups, or network IP address ranges.

Medium
Details:
========
Multiple persistent input validation vulnerabilities are detected in the Barracudas Web Filter Application v5.0.0.015 Appliance Model 910.
The bugs allow remote attackers to implement/inject malicious script code on the application side (persistent). Successful exploitation
of the vulnerability can lead to session hijacking (manager/admin) or stable (persistent) context manipulation. Exploitation requires
low user inter action. The vulnerability is located in the NTLM Edit - Host & Domain Name which is bound to the affected vulnerable
Existing Authentication Services listing. Another vulnerability is located on the upload key tab in combination with the
unsanitized short domain name input field + output listing.
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Authentification > New Authentication Service
[-] NTLM - Server Hostname & Domain Name - Existing Authentication Services
[+] Authentification > Kerberos > Advanced Settings
[-] Upload Key Tab File in combination with alternative Short Domain Name

Proof of Concept:
=================
The persistent web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with high[-](medium+) user inter action or via
local low privileged user account with low require user inter action. For demonstration or reproduce ...
