How the Exploit Works
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted requests to the web management interface of the Okcat Parking Management Platform. Due to a missing authentication flaw in the software, these requests are processed without the need for valid user credentials, thus allowing attackers to directly interact with the system functions.
Conceptual Example Code
The below is a conceptual example of a malicious HTTP request that could potentially exploit this vulnerability:
POST /system_function_endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "command": "open_gate", "gate_id": "1" }In this example, an attacker could send a POST request to the `/system_function_endpoint` API endpoint, with a JSON payload containing a command to open a gate. Since the system does not require authentication, the command would be processed, and the gate would open.
Mitigation Guidance
Users are advised to apply the vendor-provided patch as soon as possible to fix this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, users can consider using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation. These systems can be configured to block or alert on suspicious activities that resemble exploitation attempts of this vulnerability.
