CA CleverPath SQL Injection
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The CA Clever Path Portal is a customizable portal for aggregation and
integration of data and applications. It is integrated into multiple CA
products including various Unicenter components. The CA CleverPath
utilizes a back end Database for storing data and allows usage of either
built in or external Database.
After identifying in CleverPath an irregular behavior when modifying query
parameters in the search mechanism, Hacktics has conducted a research of
identifying an SQL Injection vulnerability in the implementation of the
search query construction.
DETAILS
By modifying certain parameters in the execute search URL, it was possible
to cause the application to send to the database queries that are
different than those originally intended by the search engine, and as a
result retrieving the entire database contents according to the
application user permissions scheme in the database.
Note: Due to the diversity of possible Database implementations for
CleverPath, the actual level of possible exploitation may vary between
different systems.
Exploit Details:
Due to the complexity of the required syntax, the identified SQL injection
does not allow for trivial exploitation such as UNION SELECT. However,
data can be still retrieved using Binary Search techniques.
