Nortel Contact Recording Centralized Archive 6.5.1 EyrAPIConfiguration
Web Service getSubKeys() Remote SQL Injection Exploit

tested against:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 r2 sp2
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express

download uri:
ftp://ftp.avaya.com/incoming/Up1cku9/tsoweb/web1/software/c/contactcenter/crqm/6_5_CS1K_2/Nortel-DVD3-Archive-6_5.iso

background:

This software installs a Tomcat http server which listens on
port 8080 for incoming connections. It exposes the
following servlet as declared inside
c:\Program Files\[choosen folder]\Tomcat5\webapps\EyrAPI\WEB-INF\web.xml :

...
   <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>EyrAPIConfiguration</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/EyrAPIConfiguration/*</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
...

at the following url:

http://[host]:8080/EyrAPI/EyrAPIConfiguration/EyrAPIConfigurationIf

Vulnerability:

without prior authentication, you can reach a web service
with various methods availiable, as described inside
the associated wsdl, see file:

c:\Program Files\[choosen folder]\Tomcat5\webapps\EyrAPI\WEB-INF\classes\EyrAPIConfiguration.wsdl

among them, the getSubKeys() method.

Now look at getSubKeys() inside the decompiled
c:\Program Files\[choosen folder]\Tomcat5\webapps\EyrAPI\WEB-INF\classes\com\eyretel\eyrapi\EyrAPIConfigurationImpl.class

:

This function uses unproperly the prepareStatement() function, a SELECT query is concatenated
inside of it and using user supplied values.

Note also that the unpunctuate() function is unuseful to clean the passed values:

...
protected String unpunctuate(String id)
    {
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(id);
        try
        {
            if(sb.charAt(0) == '{')
                sb.deleteCharAt(0);
        }
        catch(StringIndexOutOfBoundsException e) { }
        try
        {
            if(sb.charAt(36) == '}')
                sb.deleteCharAt(36);
        }
        catch(StringIndexOutOfBoundsException e) { }
        return sb.toString();
    }
...

As result, a remote attacker can send a SOAP message against port 8080 containing the
getSubKeys string to execute arbitrary sql commands against the
underlying database.

The following code tries to execute calc.exe (if the xp_cmdshell stored procedure
is not enabled, it will try to reenable it via 'sp_configure', assuming you have
the privileges of the 'sa' user), otherwise use your imagination.

Note: Reportedly, this product is end of sale ... so it's better you are aware of
it just in case you have an online installation exposed to user input :)
