How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability exists due to an insufficient input validation in the ‘m’ parameter in ‘/clt/LOGINFRM_LXA.ASP’. This flaw allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server by sending a malicious POST request. The executed commands run with the same privileges as the process that runs the AndSoft’s e-TMS. This could potentially allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system, lead to system compromise, or cause data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
An attacker might exploit this vulnerability using a POST request similar to the below:
POST /clt/LOGINFRM_LXA.ASP HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
m=;ls -al; # This is a simple command to list all files in the current directoryIn this example, the ‘m’ parameter is manipulated to execute a Unix ‘ls -al’ command. This is a simple example, but in a real-world scenario, an attacker could use much more harmful commands.
Mitigation Guidance
The quickest and most effective way to mitigate the risk of this vulnerability is by applying the patch provided by the vendor. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation, helping to detect and possibly block attempts to exploit this vulnerability. However, these mechanisms should not be considered as a long-term solution, and the patch should be applied as soon as feasible.
