Parallels Power Panel Cross-Site Request Forgeries

Secunia Advisory: SA29675  
Release Date: 2008-04-11

Critical:
Moderately critical
Impact: Cross Site Scripting
System access
Where: From remote
Solution Status: Partial Fix

Software:Parallels Power Panel 4.x



Description:
poplix has reported some vulnerabilities in Parallels VZPP, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to the application allowing users to perform certain actions in e.g. the "change password" and "file manager" sections via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g. change the administrator's password or overwrite arbitrary files by tricking an administrator into opening a malicious web page.

Successful exploitation may lead to a full system compromise.

Solution:
Do not browse other sites while being logged into Parallels Power Panel.

Reportedly, some of the problems are fixed in "version 365.6.swsoft (build: 4.0.0-365.6.swsoft)".
