a litle bypass with IE

[Nuno Costa]

hello

im not a expert in this area, but i work in a intranet that haves the Squid/2.3.STABLE5 filtring all access's to the internet..

so i don't have access to the internet directaly, but i know that this proxy allow access to especific web sites.. so, in the past if i us this:

http://url@website_allowed.pt -> the vuln that is already discovered... i have access to the website that i want...

but in this days, this vuln is now fixed so...

in my test's i found this way to pass this proxy, using:

http://@@website_allowed.pt@my_url -> now i have access...

using @@url.pt@ i can bypass the proxy and access the internet, i don't know how faur, this could go!!

so i don't know if this is a bug from IE or just a simple bug from Squid.. ??? can anyone tell what we have in hands ?

PS: sorry my inglish

This is a problem with Squid, as I was able to replicate the same bypassing
with Opera.

Out of interest, do you happen to know if your proxy also uses Dansguardian? I ask because I work for the company behind CensorNet
(www.censornet.com) and we recently had to make a modification to the Dansguardian code in order that the school kids that form the vast
bulk of our user base couldn't get to prohibited sites by the slight of putting a trailing dot at the end of the url they wanted to visit.

We've fixed things such that invalid url's are no longer possible. I ask because, our Access Denied page also claims to be a service provided
by Squid/2.3 STABLE5. Yet the problem was with DG and not Squid.

Remove your proxy setttings from IE and try navigating to
http://@@website_allowed.pt@my_url - you will get an invalid syntax
error.
