- CWE-1385 - Missing Origin Validation in WebSockets
Summary
IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 GUI is affected by cross-site WebSocket hijacking vulnerability. By sending a specially crafted request, an unauthenticated malicious actor could exploit this vulnerability to sniff an existing WebSocket connection to then remotely perform operations that the user is not allowed to perform.

Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- Enable CORS-like access restrictions by verifying the 'Origin' header during the WebSocket handshake.
Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- Use a randomized CSRF token to verify requests.
Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- Use TLS to securely communicate using 'wss' (WebSocket Secure) instead of 'ws'.
Mitigation
Phases: Architecture and Design, Implementation
Description:
- Require user authentication prior to the WebSocket connection being established. For example, the WS library in Node has a 'verifyClient' function.
Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- Leverage rate limiting to prevent against DoS. Use of the leaky bucket algorithm can help with this.
Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- Use a library that provides restriction of the payload size. For example, WS library for Node includes 'maxPayloadoption' that can be set.
Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- Treat data/input as untrusted in both directions and apply the same data/input sanitization as XSS, SQLi, etc.
