Category Security Release Phase Resolved N/A Product Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.0 Sun Java System Identity Manager 7.1 Date of Resolved Release 11-Nov-2008 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in Sun Java System Identity Manager 1. Impact Sun Java System Identity Manager is affected by multiple security vulnerabilities with varying impacts. Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities may allow a local or remote unprivileged user the ability to execute unauthorized scripting code in a user's browser when that user clicks a link to Sun Java System Identity Manager. A certain vulnerability related to CSRF (Cross-site Request Forgery) may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to gain unauthorized access to the Administrator account. A further vulnerability may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to gain unauthorized access to certain files on the IDM server's filesystem. In addition, two further vulnerabilities may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to redirect the browser to unintended remote sites or to inject frames containing data from unintended sites. Sun would like to acknowledge with thanks, Richard Brain, Adrian Pastor and Jan Fry of ProCheckup Ltd. for bringing two of these issues to our attention. 2. Contributing Factors These issues can occur in the following releases (for all supported platforms):

Notes: This release includes a 'security guard' feature to mitigate against certain types of vulnerabilities related to the session infrastructure. However, the feature is not enabled by default. The feature requires the use of cookies. If cookies are disabled for security reasons, it will not be possible to enable this feature as it will prevent the use of Identity Manager. There is no user-sensitive data present in the cookie being sent, and it only lives in memory during a user's session. To enable the security guard (in addtion to, and after patch installation), change the system configuration 'security.csrfGuardToken.enable' to "true" using the IDE plugin.
