  • Introduction
    ============
    
    Multiple vulnerabilities were identified within the Teracue ENC-400,
    including pre-authenticated remote code authentication. While the vendor
    has released updated firmware after these issues were identified, they are
    not all resolved with the latest version of the firmware.
    
    Product
    =======
    
    The Teracue ENC-400 is accessible over an HTTP interface, which allows
    device configuration (including setting passwords or video stream
    destinations and servers). The vendor describes the device as follows:
    This HD/SD H.264 fanless video encoder is able to deliver multiple streams
    in multiple bitrates and protocols to multiple destinations. [1]
    
    These issues affect firmware versions v2.56 or below.
    Note that the latest version of firmware, v2.57, does not adequately
    resolve all identified issues. Specific notes have been added to issues in
    the Technical Details section.
    
    
    Technical Details
    =================
    
    1) Command injection in login form
    ----------------------------------
    CVE-2018-20218
    
    The login form passes user input directly to a shell command without any
    kind of escaping or validation.
    In the file /usr/share/www/check.lp:
    #!/usr/bin/env cgilua.cgi
    <%
    local pass = cgilua.POST.password
    local com1 = os.execute("echo \'"..cgilua.POST.password.."\' | (su -c
    /bin/true)")
    
    An attacker is able to perform command injection using the "password"
    parameter displayed on the login form. An example "password" to bypass this
    authentication would be:
    f' > /dev/null #
    
    It is also possible for an attacker to simply execute code directly on the
    server.
    
    * Resolution Status *
    While this instance of remote code execution has been resolved, the
    resolution does not protect the entire codebase.
    In /usr/share/www/web/system_password.lp:
    local oldpass = cgilua.POST.oldpass
    local newpass = cgilua.POST.newpass
    local com1=os.execute("echo '"..oldpass.."' | (su -c 'echo '"..oldpass.."'
    | (su root -c '/bin/true') > /dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $?')")
    
    This allows an authenticated user to execute commands without knowing the
    existing password. This is particularly important given the insufficient
    resolution of CVE-2018-20219 (issue 2).
    
    2) Hard-coded authentication token
    ----------------------------------
    CVE-2018-20219
    
    After successful authentication, the device sends an authentication cookie
    to the end user such that they can access the devices web administration
    panel. This token is hardcoded to a string in the source code.
    In the file /usr/share/www/check.lp:
    
    cookies.sethtml("AuthByPasswdENC400","Teracue:dGFpOfrtmR1bW1thrf5dGV4nhyxxdA==",{path='/'})
    
    (Note: Line may be slightly different in different firmware versions,
    though the token is still the same).
    
    By simply setting this cookie in a browser, an attacker is able to maintain
    access to every ENC-400 device without knowing the password. Even if a user
    changes the password on the device, this token is static and unchanged.
    This results in an authentication bypass.
    
    * Resolution Status *
    While this cookie is now dynamically generated, the latest code generates
    cookie values from the current time in seconds.
    In the file /usr/share/www/check.lp:
    math.randomseed(os.time())
    local cookie_value=RandomVariable(30)
    
    An attacker is able to trivially bypass authentication simply by knowing
    the approximate time of the last successful authentication.
    
    2) Missing authentication on sensitive endpoints
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CVE-2018-20220
    
    While the web interface requires authentication before it can be interacted
    with, a large portion of the HTTP endpoints are missing authentication.
    The "/configuration.xml" file, for example, includes all information
    required to access a video stream, such as the IP and port information, and
    any encryption information if specified.
    
    * Resolution Status *
    No verification was performed as to whether this issue was appropriately
    resolved, or whether other files may be left unprotected.
