How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by taking advantage of the incorrect access control in the FTP protocol of the Audi UTR 2.0 Universal Traffic Recorder. The flaw allows an attacker, regardless of the credentials they use, to authenticate into the system. This is because the system does not correctly verify the authenticity of the presented credentials during the login process. Consequently, malicious actors can gain unauthorized access to the system, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual representation of how this vulnerability might be exploited using an FTP client:
ftp target.example.com
> User: any_username
> Password: any_password
> Login SuccessfulIn this conceptual example, `any_username` and `any_password` represent any combination of username and password that an attacker might use. Despite the inaccuracy of these credentials, the system incorrectly grants access, thus demonstrating the vulnerability.
