Category:Web application abuses
Title:Wowza Streaming Engine Multiple Vulnerabilities
Summary:Wowza Streaming Engine is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
Wowza Streaming Engine is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Insight:
The application interface allows users to perform certain actions via
HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to perform
certain actions with administrative privileges if a logged-in user visits a malicious web site.

The application suffers from a privilege escalation issue. Normal user (read-only) can elevate his/her
privileges by sending a POST request setting the parameter 'accessLevel' to 'admin' gaining admin rights and/or
setting the parameter 'advUser' to 'true' and '_advUser' to 'on' gaining advanced admin rights.

Wowza Streaming Engine suffers from multiple reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities when input passed
via several parameters to several scripts is not properly sanitized before being returned to the user. This can
be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

Vulnerability Impact:
Attackers may elevate their privileges or execute arbitrary scripts in the
users context.

Affected Software/OS:
All Wowza Streaming Engines until at least 4.5.0 build18676.

Solution:
Update to version 4.6.0 build 19395.

CVSS Score:
4.9

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N
