Drupal OpenID Module incorrect claimed_id returned
31 January 2008
===========================================================================
AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary
---------------------------------
Product: Drupal OpenID Module version 5.x-1.0
Publisher: Drupal
Operating System: UNIX variants (UNIX, Linux, OSX)
Windows
Impact: Provide Misleading Information
Access: Remote/Unauthenticated
Original Bulletin: http://drupal.org/node/216022
- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
- ------------SA-2008-016 - OPENID - INCORRECT CLAIMED_ID RETURNED FOR OPENID 2.0------------
* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-016
* Project: OpenID (third-party module)
* Version: 5.x-1.0
* Date: 2007-January-30
* Security risk: Less critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Identity impersonation
- ------------DESCRIPTION------------
The OpenID module has a vulnerability which allows OpenID version 2.0 positive
assertions that are not properly verified to return an invalid or impersonated
claimed_id. To exploit this vulnerability an attacker could set up an OpenID
provider, example1.com, that claimed to be the authority for another domain,
example2.com, when in fact it was not. Thus, example2.com OpenID's could be
impersonated.
In OpenID 2.0, the OpenID provider may return a claimed_id that is different
from the original claimed_id submitted by the user (and hence in the current
session). If this is the case, then discovery must be performed on that
claimed_id to ensure that the correct OpenID provider endpoint was used.
For more information, see [
http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#verify_disco ] .
- ------------VERSIONS AFFECTED------------

* 5.x-1.0 and earlier
