Vulnerability Summary
-------------------------------------------------
Hyland OnBase's web client allows cross-site request forgery on the login page allowing an attacker to authenticate a user utilizing known credentials, allowing the attacker to gather data about the user, perform spoofing, and other activities.
Technical Details
-------------------------------------------------
Hyland OnBase's web login process fails to utilize a CSRF token, allowing an attacker to authenticate a victim utilizing attacker-known credentials (such as the default credentials "manager:wstinol" and "hsi:wstinol") when not using federated authentication. Once authenticated, the victim would be performing actions on-behalf of the attacker or the attacker can leverage the XSSi vulnerabilities to extract data from OnBase remotely, bypassing cross origin policies.
Solution
-------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, attempts to notify Hyland of the vulnerabilities have been rebuffed as not being something that they have to fix since fixing vulnerabilities, according to the Director of Application Security, is "creating custom code" and no known fix is in place. It is recommended that users utilize federated authentication or, failing that, strong credential management processes to mitigate the risk of exploitation, and ensure that all default credentials are changed.
