Cross-application scripting (CAS) is a vulnerability affecting desktop applications that don't check input in an exhaustive way. CAS allows an attacker to insert data that modifies the behaviour of a particular desktop application. This makes it possible to extract data from inside of the users' systems. Attackers may gain the full privileges of the attacked application when exploiting CAS vulnerabilities; the attack is to some degree independent of the underlying operating system and hardware architecture.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Cross-application scripting (CAS) is a vulnerability affecting desktop applications that don't check input in an exhaustive way. CAS allows an attacker to insert data that modifies the behaviour of a particular desktop application. This makes it possible to extract data from inside of the users' systems. Attackers may gain the full privileges of the attacked application when exploiting CAS vulnerabilities; the attack is to some degree independent of the underlying operating system and hardware architecture. Initially discovered by Emanuele Gentili and presented with two other researchers (Alessandro Scoscia and Emanuele Acri) that had participated in the study of the technique and its implications, it was presented for the first time during the Security Summit 2010 in Milan. The format string attack is very similar in concept to this attack and CAS could be considered as a generalization of this attack method. Some aspects of this technique have been previously demonstrated in clickjacking techniques. (en)
  • Il Cross Application scripting (CAS) è una vulnerabilità che affligge applicazioni desktop che impiegano un insufficiente controllo dell'input. Un CAS permette ad un attaccante di inserire codice al fine di modificare il contenuto di una applicazione desktop utilizzata. In questo modo si potranno sottrarre dati sensibili presenti nel sistema degli utenti. Gli attacchi alle vulnerabilità CAS hanno effetti dirompenti perché possono implicare la completa compromissione dei target indipendentemente da sistemi operativi e piattaforme. Scoperta inizialmente da Emanuele Gentili e presentata insieme ad altri due ricercatori, che hanno partecipato allo studio della tecnica e alle sue applicazioni, Emanuele Acri ed Alessandro Scoscia durante il Security Summit 2010 di Milano, questa nuova categoria di attacco è risultata vincente su prodotti di note software house commerciali ed open source.
