Document Title ================ Tripwire IP360 VnE Remote Administrative API Authentication Bypass/Privilege Acquisition Vulnerability Affected Products =================== Vendor: Tripwire Software/Appliance: IP360 VnE Vulnerability Manager Affected (verified) versions: v7.2.2 -> v7.2.5 CVE ===== CVE-2015-6237 CVSS ======= CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/RL:O/RC:C Base Score: 10.0 Temporal Score: 9.5 Rating ========= Critical Vulnerability Summary ====================== The IP350 VnE is susceptible to a remote XML-RPC authentication bypass vulnerability, which allows for specially crafted privileged commands to be remotely executed without authentication. The RPC service is available on the public HTTPS interface of the VnE by default, and cannot be disabled. Impact ======== Successful exploitation will allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute commands and queries against the API normally only available to privileged users. Attack vectors include the ability to enumerate all local/remote users, reset any password of a user on the system, and manipulate IP filter restrictions for any user. Users configured to use external authentication sources (e.g. LDAP) can have a local password created and made usable by an attacker while the authorized user continues to use external authentication. The combined vectors could allow for remote administrative privilege acquisition. Remediation ============= Update to v7.2.6 Credits ========== This vulnerability was discovered and reported by Specto (specto [at] custodela [dot] com).
