Product Introduction Overview:

"An SP is the consumer of identity attributes provided by the IdP through a SAML assertion. SP integration involves passing the identity attributes from PingFederate to the target SP application. The SP application uses this information to set a valid session or other security context for the user represented by the identity attributes. Session creation can involve a number of approaches, and as for the IdP, Ping Identity offers commercial integration kits that address the various SP scenarios. Most SP scenarios involve custom-application integration, server-agent integration, integration with an IdM product, or integration with a commercial application.

Custom Applications: many applications use their own authentication mechanisms, typically through a database or LDAP repository, and are responsible for their own user-session management. Custom-application integration is necessary when there is limited or no access to the Web or application server hosting the application. Integration with these custom applications is handled through application-level integration kits, which allow software developers to integrate their applications with a PingFederate server acting as an SP.

With these integration kits, PingFederate sends the identity attributes from the SAML assertion to the SP application, which can then use them for its own authentication and session management. As for the IdP, application-specific integration kits include an SP agent, which resides with the SP application and provides a simple programming interface to extract the identity attributes sent from the PingFederate server. The information can be used to start a session for the SP application.

Ping Identity provides custom-application integration kits for a variety of programming environments, including: Java, .NET, PHP.

In addition, Ping Identity provides an Agentless Integration Kit, which allows developers to use direct HTTP calls to the PingFederate server to temporarily store and retrieve user attributes securely, eliminating the need for an agent interface."

(2) Vulnerability Details:

PingFederate 6.10.1 SP Endpoints web application has a computer security bug problem. It can be exploited by Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards (URL Redirection) attacks. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL, that if clicked, would redirect a victim from the intended legitimate web site to an arbitrary web site of the attacker's choosing. Such attacks are useful as the crafted URL initially appear to be a web page of a trusted site. This could be leveraged to direct an unsuspecting user to a web page containing attacks that target client side software such as a web browser or document rendering programs.

Other similar products 0day vulnerabilities have been found by some other bug hunter researchers before. PingFederate has patched some of them. Web Security Watch is an aggregator of security reports coming from various sources. It aims to provide a single point of tracking for all publicly disclosed security issues that matter. "Its unique tagging system enables you to see a relevant set of tags associated with each security alert for a quick overview of the affected products. What's more, you can now subscribe to an RSS feed containing the specific tags that you are interested in - you will then only receive alerts related to those tags." It has published suggestions, advisories, solutions details related to website vulnerabilities.

(2.1) The security programming code flaw occurs at “&TargetResource” parameter in “/startSSO.ping?” page.

Maxwell’s Formulation – Differential Forms on Euclidean Space
Author: Wang Jing
Institute: School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

One of the greatest advances in theoretical physics of the nineteenth century was Maxwell’s formulation of the the equations of electromagnetism. This article uses differential forms to solve a problem related to Maxwell’s formulation. The notion of differential form encompasses such ideas as elements of surface area and volume elements, the work exerted by a force, the flow of a fluid, and the curvature of a surface, space or hyperspace. An important operation on differential forms is exterior differentiation, which generalizes the operators div, grad, curl of vector calculus. the study of differential forms, which was initiated by E.Cartan in the years around 1900, is often termed the exterior differential calculus.However, Maxwell’s equations have many very important implications in the life of a modern person, so much so that people use devices that function off the principles in Maxwell’s equations every day without even knowing it.

Delaunay Triangulation – From 2-D Delaunay to 3-D Delaunay
Author: Wang Jing
Institute: School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

Delaunay triangulations are widely used in scientific computing in many diverse applications. While there are numerous algorithms for computing triangulations, it is the favorable geometric properties of the Delaunay triangulation that make it so useful.

The fundamental property is the Delaunay criterion. In the case of 2-D triangulations, this is often called the empty circumcircle criterion. For a set of points in 2-D, a Delaunay triangulation of these points ensures the circumcircle associated with each triangle contains no other point in its interior. This property is important. In the illustration below, the circumcircle associated with T1 is empty. It does not contain a point in its interior. The circumcircle associated with T2 is empty. It does not contain a point in its interior. This triangulation is a Delaunay triangulation. This presentation discusses how to extend 2-D Delaunay to 3-D Delaynay.

繼OpenSSL漏洞後，開源安全軟件再曝安全漏洞。新加坡南洋理工大學研究人員，物理和數學科學學院博士生王晶 (Wang Jing) 發現，OAuth 2.0， OpenID 授權接口的網站存隱蔽重定向漏洞、英文名為“Covert Redirect”。

攻擊者創建壹個使用真實站點地址的彈出式登錄窗口——而不是使用壹個假的域名——以引誘上網者輸入他們的個人信息。

黑客可利用該漏洞給釣魚網站“變裝”，用知名大型網站鏈接引誘用護登錄釣魚網站，壹旦用護訪問釣魚網站並成功登六授權，黑客即可讀取其在網站上存儲的私密信息。

騰訊，阿裏巴巴，QQ、新浪微博、淘寶網，支付寶，網易，PayPal, eBay, Amazon, Facebook、Google， LinkedIn, Yahoo, VK.com, Microsoft, Mail.ru, Github, WordPress 等國內外大量知名網站受影響。

鑒於OAuth和OpenID被廣泛用於各大公司——如微軟、Facebook、Google、以及 LinkedIn——Wang表示他已經向這些公司已經了匯報。Wang聲稱，微軟已經給出了答復，調查並證實該問題出在第三方系統，而不是該公司的自有站點。Facebook也表示，“短期內仍無法完成完成這兩個問題的修復工作，只得迫使每個應用程序平臺采用白名單”。至於Google，預計該公司會追蹤OpenID的問題；而LinkedIn則聲稱它將很快在博客中說明這壹問題。

OAuth 是壹個被廣泛應用的開放登六協議，允許用護讓第三方應用訪問該用護在某壹網站上存儲的私密的信息(如照片，視頻，聯系人列表)，而無需將用護名和密碼提供給第三方應用。這次曝出的漏洞，可將Oauth2.0的使用方(第三方網站)的回跳域名劫持到惡意網站去，黑客利用XSS漏洞攻擊就能隨意操作被授權的帳號，讀取用護的隱私信息。像騰訊、新浪微博等社交網站壹般對登六回調地址沒有任何限制，極易遭黑客利用。

About Group 网站有一个严重的网络安全问题，它容易遭受 XSS (跨站脚本漏洞) XFS (跨Frame脚本漏洞)。这对它的近10亿月访问用户是灾难和毁灭性的。

根据漏洞研究者发布的结果和POC视频，所有About.com的话题(子域名)都可以被攻击者利用。

新加坡南洋理工大学 (NTU) 数学和物理学院 (SPMS) 数学系 (MAS) 的王晶 (Wang Jing) 发布了这个严重的安全漏洞。王晶声称在2014年10月19号，他向 About Group 做了报告，但是迄今为止一直没有收到回复。漏洞的发布时间是2015年2月2号。“到现在为止，漏洞还没有被修复” 王晶说。

与此同时，王晶披露 About.com 主页面的搜索域也容易遭受 XSS 攻击。除此之外，他还发布了一些 About.com 的公开重定向漏洞 (Open Redirect). 王说他的测试是在 Windows 8 的 IE (10.0.9200.16750) 和 Mozilla 的 Firefox (34.0), Ubuntu (14.04) 的 Google Chromium 39.0.2171.65-0, 以及 Mac OS X Lion 10.7 的 Apple Safari 6.1.6 上进行的。

XSS (Cross- site Scripting) 可以用来窃取用户信息，控制用户浏览器，和进行 DOS (Denial of Service) 攻击。 XFS (Cross-frame Scripting) 也叫 iFrame Injection，可以修改用户浏览器页面内容。

在发布漏洞的同时，王晶还说明因为 About Group 的普遍性，它的漏洞可以用来对其他网站进行隐蔽重定向攻击 (Covert Redirect)；XFS 则可以用来对计算机和网络进行 DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) 黑客攻击。这些漏洞发布在著名漏洞平台 Full-Disclosure 上和他的个人博客上。

王晶是一名学生安全研究人员。他发布了包括谷歌，脸书，亚马逊，阿里巴巴等很多公司网站的重要漏洞以及大量网络应用程序的补丁。
