Source:http://www.jung.de/en/1828/company/company-portrait/ Business recommendation: ------------------------ Attackers are able to gain root access through SSH with the credentials of the backdoor user account. A attacker can also unlock the group address protection for the KNX device mapping. JUNG has provided updated firmware which should be installed immediately. SEC Consult recommends not to use this product in a production environment until a thorough security review has been performed by security professionals and all identified issues have been resolved. Vulnerability overview/description: ----------------------------------- 1) Path Traversal Vulnerability The Smart Visu Server runs with root privileges and is vulnerable to path traversal. This leads to full information disclosure of all files on the system. 2) Backdoor Accounts Two undocumented operating system user accounts are present on the appliance. They can be used to gain access to the Smart Visu Server via SSH. 3) Group Address (GA) unlock without Password As protection functionality, the KNX group address can be locked with a user-defined password. This password can be removed by using a single PUT request. An attacker can completely change the configuration of the connected devices (e.g. a light switch in the kitchen can be swapped with the air conditioner). Proof of concept: ----------------- 1) Path Traversal Vulnerability The Smart Visu Server is vulnerable to path traversal by sending the following GET-Request: ------------------------------------ Request -------------------------------- GET /SV-Home//..%252f..%252f..%252f..%252f..%252f..%252fetc/passwd HTTP/1.1 Host: <IP-Address> [...] ----------------------------------- Response -------------------------------- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Disposition: inline;filename="passwd" [...] root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/bin/sh sys:x:3:3:sys:/dev:/bin/sh [...] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Backdoor Accounts Two undocumented operating system user accounts are present on the appliance. They can be used to gain access to Smart Visu Server over SSH on Port 55555.
