Technical Details & Description:
================================
A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discovered in
the official Barracuda networks ADC appliance web-application.
The application-side vulnerability allows remote attackers and
privileged user accounts to inject malicious script codes to compromise
the online service web-application.
The application-side input validation web vulnerability is located in
the `last hour`,`last day` and `last week` time duration value of the
traffic statistics module. Local low privileged application user account
can inject malicious script code with persistent attack vector
to the vulnerable to module. The injection point of the issue is the
vulnerable rules add module and the execution of the malicious code
occurs by the restapi (api) in the Dasboard Index module of the
index.cgi file.
The input form of the appliance web-application are filtered. Even if
the input is filtered the internal validation does not encode the input
or restricts the values. Attacker do not need to bypass the filter
validation because the code executes directly through the main service
in the dashboard web content.
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability
is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system)
count of 3.8. Exploitation of the persistent vulnerability in the
`invitation to collaborate` module requires a low privileged heroku account
with low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability
results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent
redirect to external source and persistent manipulation of affected or
connected module context.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The vulnerability can be patched by a secure parse and encode of the
vulnerable last hour, last day and last week input field values.
Restrict the input and disallow special chars. Filter the context of the
values to prevent an execution of script code and implement
a secure valudatuib mechanism to the broken output in the dashboard service.
Note: The issue was reported in 2016 to the barracuda networks developer
team. The issue was finally resolved in 2017 Q1 - Q4.
The disclosure process took about 1 year to complete by recognizing the
patch cycle.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the persistent input validation web vulnerability
in the barracuda networks adc appliance web-application is estimated as
medium.
