KL-001-2020-006 : Barco wePresent Authentication Bypass  
  
Title: Barco wePresent Authentication Bypass  
Advisory ID: KL-001-2020-006  
Publication Date: 2020.11.20  
Publication URL: https://korelogic.com/Resources/Advisories/KL-001-2020-006.txt  
  
  
1. Vulnerability Details  
  
Affected Vendor: Barco  
Affected Product: wePresent WiPG-1600W  
Affected Version: 2.5.1.8  
Platform: Embedded Linux  
CWE Classification: CWE-288: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel  
CVE ID: CVE-2020-28333  
  
  
2. Vulnerability Description  
  
The Barco wePresent web interface does not use session cookies  
for tracking authenticated sessions. Instead, the web interface  
uses a "SEID" token that is appended to the end of URLs in GET  
requests. Thus the "SEID" would be exposed in web proxy logs  
and browser history. An attacker that is able to capture the  
"SEID" and originate requests from the same IP address (via  
a NAT device or web proxy) would be able to access the user  
interface of the device without having to know the credentials.  
  
  
3. Technical Description  
  
In order to make configuration changes to the Barco wePresent  
WiPG-1600W, a "random" value sent to the web interface client  
from the device is required to be provided -- the "SEID". It  
seems to be acting like a Session ID in a cookie. However,  
the "SEID" is passed as a parameter in URLs and in the body  
of POSTs. Since it is passed as a parameter in the URL, it  
can be logged by web proxies or browser history. An example is:  
  
https://192.168.2.200/cgi-bin/web_index.cgi?lang=en&src=AwSystem.html&ertqVvnKV4TjU9Vt  
  
Where "ertqVvnKV4TjU9Vt" is the SEID. No session cookie exists,  
just this value passed on the URL as a parameter, and in the  
body of POSTs to make configuration changes. This SEID is all  
that is required to access pages behind authentication or to  
make configuration changes via POSTs. There is no Authorization  
header passed in the HTTP requests.  
  
  
4. Mitigation and Remediation Recommendation
