TechAdvisor for Dell XtremIO X2 | 2.6 through 3.37-30
How the Exploit Works
An attacker with low-level privileges and local access can exploit this vulnerability by inserting sensitive information into the log file. The vulnerability lies within TechAdvisor’s logging mechanism which inadvertently logs sensitive data such as credentials. The attacker can then access these log files, retrieve the exposed credentials, and use them to access the vulnerable application with the privileges of the compromised account.
Conceptual Example Code
While there’s no specific code to demonstrate this vulnerability, a conceptual example may look like this:
$ tail -n 100 /var/log/techadvisor.logThe above shell command is an example of how an attacker might tail the last 100 lines of the TechAdvisor log file. If the log file contains sensitive information due to the vulnerability, the attacker would be able to see and misuse it.
Mitigation strategies include applying the vendor patch as soon as it is available. In the meantime, organizations can use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation. Regularly monitoring and auditing log files for any suspicious activity is also a good practice.
