-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 PR08-24: Proxim Tsunami MP.11 2411 vulnerable to SNMP Injection Vulnerability found: 2 May 2008 Vendor informed: 2 May 2008, 1st August 2008 Vulnerability fixed: no response was received from the vendor. A workaround has been included in the "Fix" section. Advisory publicly released: 9th October 2008 Severity: High Credits: Adrian Pastor of ProCheckUp Ltd (www.procheckup.com) Description: Attackers can inject a malicious HTML/JavaScript payload via the "system.sysName.0" SNMP OID. Such payload is returned on the web interface when the administrator user views pages such as '/config/configure-systems.html'. The injected code can perform any actions within the context of the current session (full administrative rights). Although usually the SNMP write community string must be guessed/cracked for a SNMP injection [1] attack to work, some embedded devices come with SNMP read/write access enabled by default. Some examples include many ZyXEL Prestige router models [2] used in residential and SOHO networks, and also products used in corporate and government environments such as the Proxim Tsunami MP.11 2411 Wireless Point-to-Multipoint System. - From Proxim Tsunami MP.11 2411's user manual: " SNMP Read/Write Community Password The password for read and write access to the MP.11/MP.11a using SNMP. Enter a password in both the Password field and the Confirm field. The default password is public. " Successfully tested on: Tsunami MP.11 2411 Wireless Point-to-Multipoint System Wireless Router v- v1.0.0 Bld#24 SN-03AT15620395 v3.0.3 Note: make/model and firmware version were obtained via the iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr.0 SNMP OID. Proof of concept: $ snmpset -v1 -c public 192.168.1.100 sysName.0 s '"><script>alert(1)</script>' Fix: Disable SNMP write access. If SNMP write access is absolutely needed, change the default read/write community string from "public" to a non-predictable and hard-to-crack value.
