PR06-09: BEA Plumtree portal full version disclosure vulnerability
Description:
BEA Plumtree portal 6.0 is vulnerable to a full version disclosure vulnerability.
The exact version along with the build date is always included at the bottom of
every requested HTML page within HTML comments.
Date Found: 12th September 2006
Vendor contacted: 18th May 2007
Vulnerable: BEA Plumtree 5.0.2, 5.0.3, 5.0.4, 6.0.1.218452 and possibly other versions.
Severity: Low
Authors: Adrian Pastor [adrian.pastor [at] procheckup.com] and Jan Fry [jan.fry [at] procheckup.com] from ProCheckUp Ltd (www.procheckup.com)
ProCheckUp thanks BEA for working with us.
Proof of concept:
The following is an example of full version information and build date disclosed
within HTML comments:
<!--Portal Version: 6.0.1.218452, Changelist: 218452, Build Date: 04/07/2006 at 10:13 AM-->
Consequences:
Attackers can use specific version information in order to lauch exploits that work on the enumerated version. This allows attackers to narrow down the number of exploits that might work against the target.
This has been addressed in AquaLogic Interaction 6.1. MP1. This can also be addressed by making config changes in ALUI 6.x versions.
