Error description

  • M-001 Application Pages Do Not Break Out of 3rd Party
    HTMLFrames Implement a Frame Killer L3 Comment: SSP Engineering
    : Investigating (affects SSP CM and SEAS)
    

Local fix

  • STRRTC - 367009
    DE/RJ
    Circumvention:
    Update to latest SSP Build 3.4.1.7
    

Problem summary

  • Security scan revealed that Sterling Secure Proxy Configuration
    Manager pages permit rendering within third party HTML frames.
    An internal attacker could potentially control elements of the
    framed pages and obtain unauthorized access to data.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Implemented frame options within the SSP CM web pages to keep
    third party applications from rendering the frames.
    

Temporary fix

  • Implemented "frame killer" attributes in the CM screens to
    prevent hijacking.
    

Comments

  • Fix included in SSP3417.
