F5 BIG-IP Web Management ASM Security Report XSS



F5 BIG-IP Web Management ASM Security Report XSS


Product: F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager
http://www.f5.com/products/big-ip/product-modules/application-security-manager.html


The F5 BIG-IP ASM web management interface contains a cross-site scripting 
vulnerability in the Security Report function. Parameter report_type in page 
/dms/policy/rep_request.php is not sanitized before it gets embedded in the 
HTML output as a hidden form value.

Example:
https://(target)/dms/policy/rep_request.php?report_type=%22%3E%3Cbody+onload=alert(%26quot%3BXSS%26quot%3B)%3E%3Cfoo+


The vulnerability has been identified in version 9.4.3. However, other versions 
may be also affected.


Solution:
Administrators should not browse untrusted sites while logged into the BIG-IP 
web management interface. It is not possible to log out of the interface so it 
is important to shut down the browser after the interface is no longer needed. 
Closing the interface browser window or removing the BIG-IP cookie is not 
sufficient.
