Command Injection in QNAP VioStor NVR pingping.cgi / Surveillance Station Pro

IdentifiersCVE-2013-0143CWE-78

CVE-2013-0143 is a command injection vulnerability in cgi-bin/pingping.cgi on QNAP VioStor NVR devices running firmware 4.0.3, and in the Surveillance Station Pro component on QNAP NAS systems. The vulnerable ping functionality fails to properly neutralize shell metacharacters supplied in the query string, allowing an authenticated remote user to inject arbitrary OS commands. Available context indicates this could be exploited by leveraging guest access, and that the affected scripts may execute with administrative privileges on the web server.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows remote execution of arbitrary commands on the affected device. Because the vulnerable scripts are reported to run with administrative privileges, impact can include full compromise of the appliance, unauthorized administrative actions, creation of new administrator accounts, modification of surveillance or NAS configuration, access to stored data, and persistent control of the system.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Until patches can be applied, restrict network access to the affected web interface so only trusted hosts and networks can reach it. Limit exposure of the management/service interface from untrusted networks and disable or tightly control guest access where possible.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade affected QNAP VioStor NVR systems to firmware version 4.0.3 build 6612. Upgrade affected QNAP NAS systems with Surveillance Station Pro enabled to Surveillance Station Pro version 3.0.2 or later.
