NO-CVE: [Medium-Low] Potential bypass on SQL keywords for IIS/ASP

• Rated : Medium-Low
• Date : 26 March 2013
• Affected : All
• Fixed in : 0.50-1 r565 (on Google code)
• Discovered by : Safe3
• References : http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2013/Mar/133

Naxsi does not suppress/decode incorrectly url-encoded characters. On the other hand, IIS/ASP will treat "s%e%l%e%c%t" as "select", while naxsi will still see it as "s%e%l%e%c%t", thus rendering SQL keywords rule ineffective. Only the SQL-keywords rule is affected, thus the exploitation window is limited to quote-less, two-fields (max) SQL injections.

CVE-2012-3380: [Medium] Potential file disclosure in naxsi's nx_extract

• Rated: Medium
• Date 18 May 2012
• Affected: 0.46
• Fixed in: 0.46-1
• Discovered by : Naxsi dev team
• References: oss-security Secunia Securelist

Local includes in nx_extract are not properly filtered, allowing a remote attacker to disclose files local to nx_extract. More details https://code.google.com/p/naxsi/source/detail?r=307

NO-CVE: [Low] SQL Injection in naxsi's nx_intercept

• Rated: Low
• Date: 2 Apr 2012
• Affected: 0.44
• Fixed in: 0.44-1
• Discovered by : Naxsi dev team

Ironically, an SQL Injection is present in naxsi's new python learning daemon (nx_intercept.py). The vulnerability is rated as low, as:

• Learning daemon is usually restricted to trusted IPs
• No sensitive data are present into database, as it is only used to store exceptions. The vulnerabilty only affects the nx_intercept python daemon, not the naxsi's core. Vulnerable code is:

 if md5 is not None and ip is not None:
  cursor.execute("INSERT INTO http_monitor (peer_ip, md5) VALUES ('%s', '%s')" % (ip, md5))
  return
