Kingdom: Input Validation and Representation
Input validation and representation problems ares caused by metacharacters, alternate encodings and numeric representations. Security problems result from trusting input. The issues include: "Buffer Overflows," "Cross-Site Scripting" attacks, "SQL Injection," and many others.
Command Injection: Server-Side Include
Abstract
Improper handling of data by server-side includes can result in arbitrary command injection.
Explanation
Server-side Include (SSI) constructs allow developers to add dynamic content to HTML pages. An attacker can force the application to execute arbitrary commands and obtain the execution results by injecting SSI constructs via insufficiently validated parameters. Successful exploitation might allow attackers to gain access to sensitive information, manipulate server resources, and execute shell commands.
Example:
By submitting the previous SSI directive, an attacker can extract the CGI version information.
Example:
<!--#echo%20var="GATEWAY_INTERFACE"-->
By submitting the previous SSI directive, an attacker can extract the CGI version information.
