Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Nokia Electronic Documentation (NED) allowing malicious people to see sensitive information or conduct Cross Site Scripting attacks.
1) It is possible to conduct Cross Site Scripting attacks by requesting a specially crafted URL.
Example:
http://[victim]/docs/<evil_code>
2) The "location" parameter isn't properly verified allowing malicious people to access arbitrary resources. This could be exploited to see contents of directories or to use NED as an open proxy.
http://[victim]/docs/NED?action=retrieve&location=.
http://[victim]/docs/NED?action=retrieve&location=http://[another_server]/
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 5.0.
Solution:
Nokia has planned to release a new version early 2004.
Nokia states that NED shouldn't be accessible except for trusted staff and is designed to be placed on a seperate network.
