File Replication Pro 7.2.0 – Multiple Vulnerabilities
Vantage Point Security Advisory 2016-001 ================================ Title: File Replication Pro Remote Command Execution Vendor: File Replication Pro Vendor URL: http://www.filereplicationpro.com/ Versions affected: =< 7.2.0 Severity: High Vendor notified: Yes Reported: 29 October 2015 Public release: 10 February 2016 Author: Jerold Hoong and the VP team <jerold[at]vantagepoint[dot]sg> Permalink: Summary: -------- File Replication Pro (FRP) is a file management solution that is used to back up and copy files from various nodes in the network. Vantage Point has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in FRP v7.2.0 (and possibly prior versions) that allow a remote unauthenticated malicious run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The vulnerabilities that were discovered are: - Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution - Unauthenticated Remote Arbitrary File Disclosure - Unauthenticated Directory Traversal and File Listing 1. Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution ------------------------------------------- The backup agents implements a RPC service port 9200 that supports various calls, including a function called "ExecCommand" that unsurprisingly executes shell commands on the system. A password hash is used to authenticate calls on this interface (note that the hash itself and not the password is used for authentication). This hash can be obtained from the remote file disclosure vulnerability present in the software (listed below) and used to authenticate to the RPC service, where subsequently, arbitrary commands are executed as the SYSTEM user.

Unauthenticated Remote Arbitrary File Disclosure --------------------------------------------------- A flaw in File Replication Pro allows a malicious user to gain access to the contents of any file on the remote server. This leads to the compromise of sensitive information such as user accounts and password hashes, which can then be used to further exploit the server using other vulnerabilities in the software. An example of how to view File Replication Pro's web interface user accounts and credentials is shown below by accessing the following URLs: - http://1.2.3.4:9100/DetailedLogReader.jsp?log_path=C:\Program+Files\FileReplicationPro\\etc\\properties.xml - http://1.2.3.4:9100/DetailedLogReader.jsp?log_path=C:\Program+Files\FileReplicationPro\\etc\\configuration.xml 3. Unauthenticated Directory Traversal and File Listing ------------------------------------------------------- It was possible to anonymously view the file directory structure of the remote File Replication Pro management server as well as the file directory structure of all server nodes that are managed by the management server. The parameters that are used to construct the POST request in the example code below can be obtained via the remote file disclosure vulnerability by accessing File Replication Pro's configuration.xml, properties.xml and .frp_id files. POST /GetRemoteDirList.jsp?server_name=WIN7SP1&server_key=WIN7SP1~29d919a3:150c736b708:-8000&server_role=Source&server_password=&parent_dir=../../../c:/ HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:9100 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Referer: http://127.0.0.1:9100/AddEditJob.do?action=new Cookie: show_greeting=value; JSESSIONID=81cgjqf795cai Connection: keep-alive Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache Content-Length: 0 Fix Information: ---------------- Upgrade to the latest version of File Replication Pro 7.3.0 Timeline: --------- 28 October 2015 - Vulnerabilities discovered 06 November 2015 - Vendor acknowledged and scheduled fixes to commence 02 February 2016 - Patch released by vendor 10 February 2016 - Release of this advisory to the public About Vantage Point Security: ----------------------------- Vantage Point is the leading provider for penetration testing and security advisory services in Singapore.
