How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability arises from a failure to properly sanitize input in the ‘m’ parameter in ‘/clt/LOGINFRM_CAT.ASP’. A successful exploit occurs when an attacker sends a crafted POST request to the server, using this parameter to execute operating system commands. This command injection attack could allow unauthorized access, data manipulation, or even potential system takeover.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is an example of how an attacker might craft and send a malicious POST request:
POST /clt/LOGINFRM_CAT.ASP HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
m=;ls%20-la; // This is a simple example where the attacker is trying to list all files in the current directoryThe attacker uses the ‘m’ parameter to inject the ‘ls -la’ command, which lists all files in the current directory. This is a simple example, but in reality, the injected commands could be far more dangerous, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage.
Preventing the Exploit
To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations are advised to apply the vendor-supplied patch immediately. As a temporary measure, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used to block or alert on suspicious POST requests to the ‘/clt/LOGINFRM_CAT.ASP’ endpoint. However, this should not replace the need for patching, as the WAF/IDS may not catch all types of attacks.
