Security Advisory AA-004: Directory Traversal Vulnerability in Sitecom Home Storage Center Severity Rating: High Discovery Date: July 29, 2012 Vendor Notification: July 30, 2012 Disclosure Date: September 3, 2012 Vulnerability Type= Directory Traversal Impact= - System Access - Exposure of sensitive information Severity= Alcyon rates the severity of this vulnerability as high due to the following properties: - Ease of exploitation; - No authentication credentials required; - No knowledge about individual victims required; - No interaction with the victim required; - Number of Internet connected devices found. Products and firmware versions affected= - Sitecom MD-253 firmware version up to and including 2.4.17 - Sitecom MD-254 firmware version up to and including 2.4.17 - Possibly other rebranded Mapower network storage products Risk Assessment= An attacker can read arbitrary files, including the files that stores the administrative password. This means an attacer could: - Steal sensitive data stored on the device; - Leverage the device to drop and/or host malware; - Abuse the device to send spam through the victim’s Internet connection; - Use the device as a pivot point to access locally connected systems or launch attacks directed to other systems. Vulnerability= The CGI-script that is responsible for showing the device logs is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability that allows an attacker to view arbitrary files. Proof of Concept Exploit= Paste the following URL into a web browser’s address bar to obtain the administrator’s username and password: http://<victimIP>/cgi-bin/info.cgi?syslog&../../etc/sysconfig/config/webmaster.conf Risk Mitigation= At the time of disclosure no updated firmware version was available. We recommend that you limit access to the devices's web management UI by utilizing proper packet filtering and/or NAT on your router in order to limit network access to your NAS. Although this will not completely eliminate the risk of exploitation, it becomes substantially more difficult to leverage a successful attack, because it would involve either a compromise of another host on the victim’s local network or a client side attack that overcomes the Same Origin Policy restrictions of the victim’s web browser. We provide an installable package for Sitecom devices that enables browser based authentication (Basic Auth) as an effective workaround for this and future web management UI vulnerabilities.
