Having Fun with Sensor Appliance Proventia GX5108 and GX5008 Insecurities
(Part One)

SUMMARY

Several security vulnerabilities have been found in ISS's Proventia
appliance, these vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to cause cross
site scripting vulnerabilities in their user interface, cause the PHP
scripts running on the server to include remote files as well as due to
the usage of old OpenSSH (and in compatibility mode) to allow brute
forcing of usernames and passwords with a timing attack.

DETAILS

Introduction:
Proventia Network IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) and IDS (Intrusion
Detection System) stops malicious Internet attacks before they impact your
organization, the only effective way to preserve network availability,
reduce the burden on your IT resources and prevent security breaches.

This document presents a couple of ideas for exploiting weaknesses in
typical (local and remote) box configurations appliance, the second part
will be related SITE PROTECTOR and administration vulnerabilities.

The paper is based on the bypassing of filtration of a common web
application security hole known as XSS(Cross site scripting), RFI (Remote
File Inclusion) and common attacks on services / ports.
