Endian Firewall < 3.0.0 Proxy Password Change Command Injection

This module exploits an OS command injection vulnerability in a web-accessible CGI script used to change passwords for locally-defined proxy user accounts. Valid credentials for such an account are required. Command execution will be in the context of the "nobody" account, but on versions of EFW I tested, this account had broad sudo permissions, including to run the script /usr/local/bin/chrootpasswd as root. This script changes the password for the Linux root account on the system to the value specified by console input once it is executed. The password for the proxy user account specified will *not* be changed by the use of this module, as long as the target system is vulnerable to the exploit. Very early versions of Endian Firewall (e.g. 1.1 RC5) require HTTP basic auth credentials as well to exploit this vulnerability. Use the standard USERNAME and PASSWORD advanced options to specify these values if required. Versions >= 3.0.0 still contain the vulnerable code, but it appears to never be executed due to a bug in the vulnerable CGI script which also prevents normal use. Tested successfully against the following versions of EFW Community: 1.1 RC5, 2.0, 2.1, 2.5.1, 2.5.2. Used Apache mod_cgi Bash Environment Variable Code Injection and Novell ZENworks Configuration Management Remote Execution modules as templates.

Mitigation:

Apply the latest security patches and updates. Disable or restrict access to the vulnerable CGI script. Implement strong authentication mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access.
