How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability is exploited via a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the affected component. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the HTTP POST Request Handler component. An attacker within the local network can send a malicious POST request to the /api/wizard/setsyncpppoecfg file, leading to command injection.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP request sent to the vulnerable endpoint:
POST /api/wizard/setsyncpppoecfg HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "cmd": "reboot; rm -rf /" }In this example, the malicious payload includes a command to reboot the system and delete all files in the system root directory. The exact nature of the payload would depend on the attacker’s objectives.
Please note that this is a simplified and hypothetical example. Real attacks would likely be more complex and tailored to the specific system being targeted.
Mitigation
H3C has released a patch to address this vulnerability, and it is recommended to apply this patch immediately. If unable to apply the patch immediately, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as temporary mitigation. However, these measures are not a substitute for patching and updating the affected products to a secure version.
