Build modern, maintainable apps and instantly extend them with functionality from hundreds of cloud services providers without worrying about infrastructure. Build. Deploy. Scale. Heroku brings them together in an experience built and designed for developers. Scale your application by moving a slider and upgrade your database in a few simple steps. Whether your growth happens over the year or overnight, you can grow on demand to capture opportunity. Heroku (pronounced her-OH-koo) is a cloud application platform – a new way of building and deploying web apps. Our service lets app developers spend their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling. Heroku was founded in 2007 by Orion Henry, James Lindenbaum, and Adam Wiggins. (Copy of the Vendor Homepage: https://www.heroku.com/home ) Abstract Advisory Information: ============================== The Vulnerability Laboratory Research Team discovered a persistent mail encoding web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Heroku Dashboard web-application (API). Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline: ================================== 2014-08-26: Researcher Notification & Coordination (Benjamin Kunz Mejri) 2014-08-27: Vendor Notification (Heroku Security Team - Bug Bounty Program) 2014-12-03: Vendor Response/Feedback (Heroku Security Team - Bug Bounty Program) 2015-01-08: Vendor Fix/Patch Notification (Heroku Developer Team - Reward: Bug Bounty) 2015-01-09: Public Disclosure (Vulnerability Laboratory) Discovery Status: ================= Published Affected Product(s): ==================== Heroku Product: Heroku Dashboard - Web Application (API) 2014 Q3 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== Medium Technical Details & Description: ================================ A persistent mail encoding web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Heroku Dashboard Web-Application (API). The application-side issue allows remote attackers to compromise emails by injection of own malicious persistent context. The heroku dashboard impact a vulnerability inside of the invite module. After the registration with a script code payload as first- &lastname. The heroku online-service responds without secure encoded name value inside of the invitation mailing. The attacker went after the registration to the following webpage (https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/asdsad/access) and is able to include any email to stream inside of the invitation to collaborate request own malicious script codes. The request method to inject the code by registration inside of the app service is POST. The exploitation takes place after the local attacker included another remote email to stream unauthorized malicious persistent context in outgoing emails of the heroku online-service through an invitation to collaborate. In the main emails of the registration the context of the database has been parsed in outgoing mail. The heroku dashboard access service does not encode the database context on invitations to collaborate context which results in the successful exploitation of the application-side issue. The bug typus has been declared as persistent mail encoding web vulnerability in the heroku webserver service in connection with the vulnerable application module/function. The sender email is the main heroku reply address. The bug execution occurs in the api validation of the form that allows to contact via invite other email contacts. In the Dashboard beta of heroku is the same bug in the same module/function available because only the frontend has been changed during the update. The security risk of the persistent mail encoding web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 4.1. Exploitation of the persistent vulnerability in the `invitation to collaborate` module requires a low privileged heroku account with low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent redirect to external source and persistent manipulation of affected or connected module context. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Heroku Dashboard > Apps > User[x] > Access [+] Heroku Dashboard Beta > Apps > User[x] > Access Vulnerable Function(s): [+] Invitation to Collaborate [+] Invitation Affected Module(s): [+] API Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The persistent mail encoding web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low privileged application user account and low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue. Manual steps to reproduce the security vulnerability ... 1. Register an account with a script code payload in the first- & last-name input fields 2. Save the context and access the account 3. Register a new random app inside of the dasboard 4. Switch to the apps > access section in the regular dasboard or via beta template 5. Add any random email or heroku user account mail to the access rules and save the context Note: A notification mail arrives at the new registered access user inbox 6. The payload executes ahead to the mail mail body context because of the registered payload inside of the user profile values 7. Successful reproduce of the persistent web vulnerability!

Restrict the input fields on registration and disallow special char as name value input to prevent exploitation. Filter and encode also the outgoing the `Invite to collaborate` and `Invite to heroku` mail context to prevent persistent script code execution, hijacking attacks or phishing attempts. Security Risk: ============== The security risk of the persistent mail encoding web vulnerability in the notification service (api) is estimated as medium.
