# Exploit Title: TufinOS 2.17 Build 1193 - XML External Entity Injection
# Exploit Author: konstantinos Alexiou

# CVE: N/A
# Category: webapps

# 1. Description
# The SecureTrack application is vulnerable to XML External Entity injection. 
# This attack is considered quite serious and can be used to:
# (1) Retrieve confidential data
# (2) Perform denial of service
# (3) Execute server side request forgery attacks
# (4) Perform port scanning through the machine on other systems 

# The issue was identified inside the "Audit" > "Best Practices" module of the "SecureTrack" 
# application when creating a new Best Practices query and manipulating the "xml" parameter 
# in the request. When the vulnerability is triggered it doesn't directly return anything 
# to the attacker but rather the contents of the requested file are written inside 
# the name field of a best practices. This vulnerability affects every "SecureTrack" 
# application authentication user role.
   
# 2. Proof of Concept
# Step 1: Login to the "SecureTrack" application using any user and then navigate to 
# "Audit" > "Best Practices". 
# Step 2: Create and submit a "New Query" while intercepting the traffic:
# Step 3: Send the request to repeater and change it to include the following 
# payload after the "xml=" input field:
-->

<!DOCTYPE foo [<!ENTITY AAAA SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd"> ]>

<!--

# The payload should be URL encoded before delivered to the application

# Step 4: Submit the request to the server.

# Step 5: Refresh your browser to view the new Best Practice that was created. The following image 
# displays that the request was successfully processed by the server and a new Best Practice was 
# created. The contents of the requested file "/etc/passwd" is saved as the name of the "Best Practice query". 

# 3. Solution:
# Reconfigure the XML processor to use a local static DTD and disallow any declared DTD included in 
# the XML document. Another solution is to explicitly disable External XML Entities in the parser of 
# the application.
