Mogwai Security Advisory MSA-2016-01 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: PowerFolder Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Product: PowerFolder Server Affected versions: 10.4.321 (Linux/Windows) (Other version might be also affected) Impact: high Remote: yes Product link: https://www.powerfolder.com Reported: 02/03/2016 by: Hans-Martin Muench (Mogwai, IT-Sicherheitsberatung Muench) Vendor's Description of the Software: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PowerFolder is the leading on-premise solution for file synchronization and collaboration in your organization. PowerFolder Business Suite and PowerFolder Enterprise Suite both offer a fully integrated and secure solution for backup, synchronization and collaboration. Support for federated RADIUS, LDAP and RESTful APIs allow PowerFolder to blend in perfectly into your environment while all data is stored on your own IT infrastructure, ensuring that your data remains 100% under your control. Business recommendation: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Apply patches that are provided by the vendor. Restrict access to the PowerFolder port, as the vulnerability might be exploited with other gadgets. CVSS2 Ratings ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CVSS Base Score: 9.3 Impact Subscore: 10 Exploitability Subscore: 8.6 CVSS v2 Vector (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vulnerability description: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The PowerFolder server and client are written in Java. Data exchange is mainly done via serialized objects that are send over a dedicated port (TCP port 1337). This service allows deserialization of untrusted data, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.[1][2] The tested PowerFolder version contains a modified version of the Java library "ApacheCommons". In this version, the PowerFolder developers removed certain dangerous classes like org.apache.commons.collections.functors.InvokerTransformer however, exploitation is still possible using another gadget chain [3].
