HTTP Header Disclosure

Vulnerability overview/description

Due to unsanitized user input it is possible to inject arbitrary HTTP header values in certain HTTP responses of the Satellite Server. This can be exploited, for example, to perform session fixation and malicious redirection attacks via the Set-Cookie and the Refresh headers. Moreover, the Satellite Server caches these HTTP responses with the injected HTTP header resulting in all further requests to the same resource being served with the poisoned HTTP response, while these objects remain in cache.

Information Disclosure

Information disclosure enables an attacker to gain valuable information about a system. Therefore, always consider what information you are revealing and whether it can be used by a malicious user. The following lists possible information disclosure attacks and provides mitigations for each. 

Message Security and HTTP

If you are using message-level security over an HTTP transport layer, be aware that message-level security does not protect HTTP headers. The only way to protect HTTP headers is to use HTTPS transport instead of HTTP. HTTPS transport causes the entire message, including the HTTP headers, to be encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

Environment change

The web application returned information about itself in the HTTP header that could aid an attacker.  Default web server installations often include the vendor and version details of the web application, and possibly further information about scripting services also installed
