3. *Vulnerability Description*
QNAP's website states that:
[1] Q'center Virtual Appliance is a central management platform that
enables you to consolidate the management of multiple QNAP NAS. The
Q'center web interface gives you the ease-of-use, cost-efficiency,
convenience and flexibility to manage multiple NAS, across multiple
sites, from any internet browser.
The platform's provides centralized web-based administration to manage
the following features:
- Review HDD S.M.A.R.T. values
- Monitor system status
- Manage apps and shared folders
- Review infographice reports
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in the Q'center Virtual Appliance
web console that would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands
on the system.
4. *Vulnerable versions*
. Q'center Virtual Appliance Version 1.6.1056 (20170825)
. Q'center Virtual Appliance Version 1.6.1075 (20171123)
Other products and versions might be affected, but they were not tested.
5. *Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds*
QNAPpublished the following Security Note:
. https://www.qnap.com/en-us/security-advisory/nas-201807-10
6. *Credits*
These vulnerabilities were discovered and researched by Ivan Huertas
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*
QNAP's Q'center Virtual Appliance web console includes a functionality
that would allow an authenticated attacker to elevate privileges on the
system. We describe this issue in section 7.1.
Sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 show different methods to gain command
execution.
7.1. *Privilege escalation*
[CVE-2018-0706]
The application contains an API endpoint that returns information about
the accounts defined in the database. The information returned is
informative for all the users except for the admin user, which cames
with every installation, where an extra field is presented. This extra
field (new_password) contains the password defined at installation time
for the admin user encoded in base64.
Any authenticated user could access this API endpoint and retrieve the
admin user's password, therefore being able to login as an administrator.
The following proof of concept shows a user with viewer access
retrieving the admin's password encoded in base64 in the new_password
field.

7.2. *Command Execution in change password for the admin user*
[CVE-2018-0707]
When the admin user performs a password change, the application executes
an OS command to impact the changes. The input is not properly sanitized
when passed down to the OS, allowing an attacker to run arbitrary
commands.

-----/
The API requires to send the password encoded in base64. This makes a
lot easier to inject command as we do not need to bypass any filters.
For the admin user in the web application, there is also a backing user
present on the OS. When a password change is requested for this user,
the values submitted to the API are included in a "sudo passwd" command,
where the injection occurs.
In this particular case, the old_password must match the current
password, which can be obtained by exploiting [CVE-2018-0706].
7.3. *Command Execution in network config update*
[CVE-2018-0708]
The admin user created at installation time can modify the network
configuration. In order to do this, the admin has to access the settings
section which is protected by the OS password (which could be obtained
using the Privilege Escalation vulnerability described above). However,
we identified that a user with the Power User profile could also execute
this function, despite access not being provided through the web
application interface. This function requires to send the admin user
password encoded in base64 in the passwd field. This value is then used
to perform a sudo operation in the OS to change the network settings. We
used the passwd field to inject command
(";touch /tmp/netconfigpower; echo "a) and create a file in /tmp/.

7.4. *Command Execution in date config update*
[CVE-2018-0709]
The admin user created at installation time is capable of modifying the
date configuration. In order to do this, the admin has to access the
settings section which is protected by the OS password (which could be
obtained using the Privilege Escalation vulnerability described above).
However, we identified that a user with the Power User profile could
execute this function, despite the access is not provided through the

7.5. *Command Execution in SSH settings config update*
[CVE-2018-0710]
The admin user created at installation time is capable of modifying the
SSH configuration. In order to do this, the admin has to access the
settings section which is protected by the OS password (which could be
obtained using the Privilege Escalation vulnerability). However, we
