-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab Security Advisory < 20150626-0 > ======================================================================= title: Critical vulnerabilities allow surveillance on conferences product: Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager (RPRM) vulnerable versions: <8.4 fixed version: 8.4 CVE numbers: CVE-2015-4681, CVE-2015-4682, CVE-2015-4683, CVE-2015-4684 CVE-2015-4685 impact: critical homepage: http://www.polycom.com found: 2015-03-10 by: R. Freingruber, C.A. (Office Vienna) SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab An integrated part of SEC Consult Berlin - Frankfurt/Main - Montreal - Singapore Vienna (HQ) - Vilnius - Zurich https://www.sec-consult.com ======================================================================= Vendor description: - ------------------- "A key component of the Polycom RealPresence Platform, available as a hardened appliance or software optimized for virtualized environments, the RealPresence Resource Manager application is critical to effectively managing thousands of mobile, desktop, and group telepresence systems." http://www.polycom.com/content/www/en/products-services/realpresence-platform/management-applications/realpresence-resource-manager.html Business recommendation: - ------------------------ By combining all vulnerabilities documented in this advisory an unprivileged authenticated remote attacker can gain full system access (root) on the RPRM appliance. This has an impact on all conferences taking place via this RP Resource Manager. Attackers can steal all conference passcodes and join or record any conference. SEC Consult recommends not to use this system until a thorough security review has been performed by security professionals and all identified issues have been resolved. Vulnerability overview/description: - ----------------------------------- 1) Unauthorized plaintext password disclosure of RMX admin accounts The RPRM discloses the plaintext password of the RMX admin user to an unauthorized unprivileged attacker by including it in certain HTTP responses. No manipulation of parameters is required. 2) Arbitrary file disclosure (I) via path traversal (CVE-2015-4684) Ordinary unprivileged users can download an Excel file of all their upcoming conferences. This functionality can be exploited by an authenticated attacker to download arbitrary files from the server due to insufficient input validation. There is no restriction on which files might be downloaded since this action is performed with root privileges. 3) Plaintext passwords stored in logfiles RPRM generates logdata which includes plaintext passwords. This weakness in combination with the previous vulnerability allows an unprivileged attacker to escalate his privileges to the admin level in the web interface. 4) Arbitrary file upload via path traversal (CVE-2015-4684) This vulnerability requires admin privileges in the web interface, but combining all previous vulnerabilities in this advisory allows privilege escalation. Administrators can import (upload) "user aliases" in the web interface. This functionality is vulnerable to a path traversal attack. This vulnerability can be exploited to upload a webshell and execute arbitrary commands with the permissions of the system user "plcm". 5) Sudo misconfiguration allows privilege escalation (CVE-2015-4685) The "plcm" user is allowed to execute certain tools and scripts in given folders with root privileges. At the same time many of these scripts and folders are writeable to the plcm user. This allows execution of arbitrary code with root privileges. 6) Arbitrary file disclosure (II) and removal (path traversal) (CVE-2015-4684) An authenticated attacker can download and remove any files using this path traversal vulnerability. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires admin privileges. There is no restriction on which files might be downloaded or removed since this action is performed with root privileges. 7) Weak/Missing Authorization The separation of users relies on the fact that conference IDs are not guessable, but as soon as an information disclosure vulnerability allows an attacker to gather conference IDs authorization can be bypassed. The arbitrary file download vulnerability (2) allows an attacker to collect valid conference IDs. 8) Absolute path disclosure (CVE-2015-4682) The web application discloses the absolute path to the web root. To collect this information no parameter manipulation is required. The webroot path is valuable when uploading a web shell (see vulnerability 4). 9) Session ID in GET parameter allows for privilege escalation (CVE-2015-4683) Certain actions on the website (Excel and log file downloads) submit session IDs in HTTP GET parameters. If a privileged user performs such an action his session ID is written to the webserver log which can be retrieved by an unprivileged attacker by exploiting the vulnerability (2). This results in an additional privilege escalation path. Since session IDs are bound to source IP addresses successfull exploitation requires the attacker to have the same source IP as his victim (e.g. NAT).
