Cross-origin/same-site request forgery to RCE in chromedriver
Published:
I found a cross-origin/same-site request forgery vulnerability in chromedriver. It was rejected (won't fix) because it is only possible to trigger this from the cross-origin/same-site and not cross-site. In practice, it means it is really only possible to trigger this from another localhost-bound web application.
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability I found in GeckoDriver which could be used to execute arbitrary shell commands. CVE-2020-15660 has been assigned to this vulnerability. This was fixed by GeckoDriver v0.27.0 in 2020-07-27. This is bug #1648964.
I found that pupnp was vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks. npupnp, a fork a pupnp, was impacted as well. This is demonstrated using Gerbera a UPnP MediaServer.
A quick summary about how DNS rebinding attacks work. The main motivation for this post is to have a diagram to show when explaining DNS-rebinding attacks.
This post gives simple explanations of how UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) works, especially with the goal of testing the security devices such as routers, smart TVs, etc.
DNS rebinding and CSRF vulnerabilites on Samsung TV DIAL implementation
Published:
I found a DNS rebinding vulnerability as well as a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability on the DIAL (Discovery And Launch) implementation of the Samsung TV UE40F6320 (v1.0), from 2011. This can be used to open any installed application (eg. Netflix and Youtube) and force the vizualisation of a given video in the applications.
DNS rebinding vulnerability in Samsung SmartTV UPnP
Published:
I found a DNS rebinding vulnerability on the Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) interface of the Samsung TV UE40F6320 (v1.0), from 2011. This could be used, for example, to change the channel, to know which channel is currently used or open the builtin browser to any URI.
