GRR <= 3.0.0-RC1 (all versions) RCE with privilege escalation through file upload filter bypass (authenticated)

GRR is an open source resources manager tool used in many french public institutions. The application allows administrators to change the enterprise's logo uploading a new image with .png,.jpg or .gif extension only. Once uploaded, image name is 'splitted' in an array and renamed with the name 'logo' followed by the extention saved as 2nd array's element. This file called for example 'logo.jpg' is also 'chmoded' as 0666 permission and directly accessible in image folder (img_grr by default) by all users. It's possible for an attacker to add a second extension that will be used when the image will be renamed in order to bypass this basic filter (double extension upload filter bypassing). So, a file called backdoor.php.jpg will be renamed as logo.php with chmod 0666 permissions and could be used by attacker to gain more privileges on the targeted server (privesc due to 0666 permissions).

Mitigation:

Update to the latest version of GRR, or apply the patch from the vendor's website.

I. APPLICATION
======================================================================================

GRR is an open source resources manager tool used in many french public
institutions (not only!).
It permit for example to manage rooms reservations, and so much more.


II. ADVISORY
======================================================================================
 
 
The application allows administrators to change the enterprise's logo
uploading a new image with .png,.jpg or .gif extension only.
 
Once uploaded, image name is "splitted" in an array and renamed with the
name "logo" followed by the extention saved as 2nd array's element.
 
This file called for example "logo.jpg" is also "chmoded" as 0666 permission
and directly accessible in image folder (img_grr by default) by all users.
 
Besides, the application does only a basic conditional php test
on the extension of the uploaded file.
 
It's possible for an attacker to add a second extension that will be
used when the image will be renamed in order to bypass this basic filter
(double extension upload filter bypassing).
 
So, a file called backdoor.php.jpg will be renamed as logo.php with
chmod 0666 permissions and could be used by attacker to gain more privileges
on the targeted server (privesc due to bad file permissions and RCE).
 
To trigger this vulnerability it is necessary to have an administrator
account on the GRR application.
 
This vulnerability is a combination of 3 issues:
- predictable uploaded file names and path
- upload of any kind of file
- bad files permission when we upload this file that permit us to gain
privilegied access.
 
Note that it could be "dorkable" in order to find targets ... and sometimes
with trivial admin credentials ;-).
 
III. VULNERABLE CODE
======================================================================================

snip..
// Enregistrement du logo
    $doc_file = isset($_FILES["doc_file"]) ? $_FILES["doc_file"] : NULL;
    if (preg_match("`\.([^.]+)$`", $doc_file['name'], $match))
    {
        $ext = strtolower($match[1]);
        if ($ext != 'jpg' && $ext != 'png' && $ext != 'gif') // Vulnerability !! Extension are the only "security" test on submitted files !!
        {
    $msg .= "L\'image n\'a pas pu être enregistrée : les seules extentions autorisées sont gif, png et jpg.\\n";
    $ok = 'no';
}
else
{
    $dest = '../images/';
    $ok1 = false;
    if ($f = @fopen("$dest/.test", "w"))
    {
        @fputs($f, '<'.'?php $ok1 = true; ?'.'>'); // Hem...
        @fclose($f);
        include("$dest/.test");
    }
    if (!$ok1)
    {
        $msg .= "L\'image n\'a pas pu être enregistrée : problème d\'écriture sur le répertoire \"images\". Veuillez signaler ce problème à l\'administrateur du serveur.\\n";
        $ok = 'no';
    }
    else
    {
        $ok1 = @copy($doc_file['tmp_name'], $dest.$doc_file['name']);
        if (!$ok1)
            $ok1 = @move_uploaded_file($doc_file['tmp_name'], $dest.$doc_file['name']);
        if (!$ok1)
        {
            $msg .= "L\'image n\'a pas pu être enregistrée : problème de transfert. Le fichier n\'a pas pu être transféré sur le répertoire IMAGES. Veuillez signaler ce problème à l\'administrateur du serveur.\\n";
            $ok = 'no';
        }
        else
        {
            $tab = explode(".", $doc_file['name']);
            $ext = strtolower($tab[1]);
            if ($dest.$doc_file['name']!=$dest."logo.".$ext)
            {
                if (@file_exists($dest."logo.".$ext))
                    @unlink($dest."logo.".$ext);
                rename($dest.$doc_file['name'],$dest."logo.".$ext); // Vulnerability: if filename is "backdoor.php.jpg" we rename it as "logo.php" !!

            }
            @chmod($dest."logo.".$ext, 0666); // Vulnerability: why chmod 0666 on this f****** file!?!?

            $picture_room = "logo.".$ext;
            if (!Settings::set("logo", $picture_room))
            {
                $msg .= "Erreur lors de l'enregistrement du logo !\\n";
                $ok = 'no';
            }
        }
    }
}

V. RISK
======================================================================================
By uploading a script, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code
on the server with elevated privileges.
 
This flaw may compromise the integrity of the system
(with access to sensitive informations, network shares...) and it may conduce
to  full information system's compromise using pivots techniques and imagination!
