Cross-Domain Misconfiguration - Adobe - Send

Cross-Domain Misconfiguration - Adobe - Send

Reference

Plugin Id: 20016 | CWE: 264

Remediation

To remediate the vulnerability, the following steps should be taken:

  1. Configure cross-domain policy file: Ensure that the cross-domain policy file is properly configured to restrict access from unauthorized domains. This can be done by specifying the allowed domains in the cross-domain policy file.

    Example configuration for Adobe Flash cross-domain policy file (crossdomain.xml):

    <cross-domain-policy>
      <allow-access-from domain="trusteddomain.com" />
      <allow-access-from domain="anothertrusteddomain.com" />
      <!-- Add more trusted domains as necessary -->
    </cross-domain-policy>
    

    Example configuration for Microsoft Silverlight cross-domain policy file (clientaccesspolicy.xml):

    <access-policy>
      <cross-domain-access>
        <policy>
          <allow-from>
            <domain uri="http://trusteddomain.com" />
            <domain uri="http://anothertrusteddomain.com" />
            <!-- Add more trusted domains as necessary -->
          </allow-from>
          <grant-to>
            <resource path="/" include-subpaths="true" />
          </grant-to>
        </policy>
      </cross-domain-access>
    </access-policy>
    
  2. Implement CSRF protection: Implement Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection mechanisms on the web server to prevent unauthorized requests. This can be achieved by using anti-CSRF tokens, validating the origin of requests, or implementing other CSRF prevention techniques.

About

The vulnerability “Cross-Domain Misconfiguration - Adobe - Send” refers to a misconfiguration on the web server that allows for Flash/Silverlight based cross-site request forgery. This vulnerability occurs when the cross-domain policy file is not properly configured, allowing unauthorized domains to make requests to the server.

Risks
