Web Hacking Incidents update for Feb 10th

The Web Hacking Incidents Database (http://whid.webappsec.org), or WHID for
short, is a Web Application Security Consortium (http://www.webappsec.org)
project dedicated to maintaining a list of web applications related security
incidents. WHID goal is to serve as a tool for raising awareness of the web
application security problem and provide information for statistical
analysis of web applications security incidents.

The following incidents where added to WHID last week:

* WHID 2009-19: Kaspersky site breached using SQL injection, sensitive data

[TOOL] moth - vulnerable web application vmware

List,

Moth is a VMware image with a set of vulnerable Web Applications and
scripts, that you may use for:
    - Testing Web Application Security Scanners
    - Testing Static Code Analysis tools (SCA)
    - Giving an introductory course to Web Application Security

The motivation for creating this tool came after reading
"anantasec-report.pdf" which is included in the release file which you

[waraxe-2010-SA#077] - Multiple Vulnerabilities in Calibre 0.7.34

Impact: remote attacker can read arbitrary files on the target system

So, I was interested in e-book management software and after some research found
Calibre. It has useful feature - Content Server. Basically it's Webserver, based
on CherryPy, written in Python. As specialized in Web Application Security, then
obviously I spent some time playing with it.
I used Firefox with Live HTTP Headers Add-On, which provides easy way to observe
HTTP requests and responses. This is what got my attention:

Link Injection Redirection Attacks - Exploiting Google Chrome Design Flaw

of the stringent attacks.
Well to be ethical in this regard these are not the recent attacks but
are persisting from long time. The only
difference is the exploitation ratio has increased from bottom to top.
So that's the prime reason it has been
included in the web application security benchmarks. But the projection
of redirection attacks is active now.

This post is not about explaining the basics of redirection issues. It
is more about the design vulnerabilities
in browsers that can lead to potential persistent redirection

OWASP Mumbai Meeting : 6th Sep 2007

Interested in Speaking at the event??

1. The topic of the event should be on "Privacy in the 21st Century", so all talks should be related to it (we should be addressing the Web Application side of Privacy (for example what happens to Privacy with SQL Injection, XSS and issues like pdp's Snoop)

2. All events are recommended to have the same panel discussion on the subject "What is the current state of Privacy on Web Application Security? and what should we be focusing on?").

3. Drop in a mail to dharmeshmm at mastek dot com to confirm your presentation.
