Artica Proxy 4.40 Code Injection

The bug is already being exploited in the wild, but Firefox has provided patches for those who may be vulnerable.

Source: 2020WEB via Alamy Stock Photo

Mozilla has patched a critical security vulnerability in its Firefox Web browser that's being actively exploited in the wild.

Tracked as CVE-2024-9680, the vulnerability is a use-after-free issue in Animation timelines, with attackers exploiting it to execute arbitrary code, according to Mozilla's advisory. It carries a CVSSv3 vulnerability-severity rating of 9.8 out of 10 and a low attack complexity (no privileges or user interaction is needed to successfully exploit the flaw), and translates into high risk in the event of a successful attack.

Critical bugs in Firefox, which is used by around 178 million people worldwide, are few and far between. The Web browser hasn't had to offer patches for such a severe flaw since March, and only a small number have been discovered in the past few years.

The disclosure sparked a flurry of alerts from international cyber agencies, including Dutch national cyber center Nationaal Cyber Security Centrum, and the cybersecurity centers of Canada and Italy.

The Web browser vulnerability affects Firefox 131.0.2, Firefox ESR 128.3.1, and Firefox ESR 115.16.1. Users should upgrade to version 131.0.2 in Firefox and to versions 115.16.1 or 128.3.1 for Firefox ESR to fix the vulnerability and thwart potential exploitation.

Vendor description:  
-------------------  
"GlobalProtect enables you to use Palo Alto Networks next-gen firewalls or  
Prisma Access to secure your mobile workforce."

Source: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/globalprotect

Business recommendation:  
------------------------  
The vendor provides a patched version v6.2.5 which should be installed immediately.  
Further affected branches will be patched by the vendor in the future, except  
branch 5.2.x which is EOL. Users are urged to upgrade to the most recent versions.

SEC Consult highly recommends to perform a thorough security review of the  
product conducted by security professionals to identify and resolve potential  
further security issues.

Vulnerability overview/description:  
-----------------------------------  
1) Local Privilege Escalation via MSI installer (CVE-2024-9473)  
The configuration of the GlobalProtect MSI installer file was found to  
produce a visible conhost.exe window running as the SYSTEM user when using   
the repair function of msiexec.exe. This allows a local, low-privileged  
attacker to use a chain of actions, to open a fully functional cmd.exe  
with the privileges of the SYSTEM user. 

Proof of concept:  
-----------------  
1) Local Privilege Escalation via MSI installer (CVE-2024-9473)  
For the exploit to work, GlobalProtect has to be installed via the MSI file.  
Afterwards, any low-privileged user can start the repair of GlobalProtect by  
double-clicking the installer and trigger the vulnerable actions  
without a UAC popup. The installer, if deleted from it's original location,  
can be found in C:\Windows\Installer with a randomized name.

During the repair process, the subprocess PanVCrediChecker.exe gets  
called with SYSTEM privileges and performs a read action on the file   
"C:\Program Files\Palo Alto Networks\GlobalProtect\libeay32.dll".

This can be used by an attacker by simply setting an oplock on the file.  
As soon as it gets read, the process is blocked until the lock is released.  
To do that, one can use the 'SetOpLock.exe' tool from  
"https://github.com/googleprojectzero/symboliclink-testing-tools"  
with the following parameters:

SetOpLock.exe "C:\Program Files\Palo Alto Networks\GlobalProtect\libeay32.dll" x  
See figure 1 [lock.webp]

During the repair process, the locked file is accessed several times. The lock  
has to be released by pressing ENTER five times before the conhost.exe  
window opens. For the sixth request, the lock should not be released to keep the  
window open. The conhost window that gets opened when PanVcrediChecker.exe is  
executed doesn't close and can then be interacted with.

The attacker can then perform the following actions to   
spawn a SYSTEM shell:  
- Right click on the top bar of the window  
- Click on properties [ see figure 2 openbrowser.webp]  
- Under options, click on the "new console features" link [see figure 2  
    openbrowser.webp]  
- Open the link with e.g. firefox or chrome [see figure 2 openbrowser.webp]  
- In the opened browser window press the key combination CTRL+o  
- Type cmd.exe in the top bar and press Enter [see figure 3 cmd.webp]

Note that this does not work using a recent version of the Edge Browser.

Vulnerable / tested versions:  
-----------------------------  
The following versions have been tested which were the only versions  
available to SEC Consult at the time of the test. SEC Consult was not  
entirely sure, which exact version the product was:  
- ProductVersion as stated by the PropertyTable: 5.2.10  
- Version as stated by Windows after installing: 5.1.5  
- 6.1.2 is affected as well

The vendor confirmed that versions <6.2.5 are affected. Furthermore,  
all other branches 5.1.x, 5.2.x, 6.0.x, 6.1.x and 6.3.x are affected  
as well. Branch 5.2.x is end of life according to the vendor and will  
not be patched.

            on the report.  
2024-04-08: Asking vendor to notify about updates and the timeline  
            of a fix.  
2024-04-24: Vendor was able to reproduce the issue, but not in the  
            most recent versions. 5.1.5 is affected, but not 5.2.10  
            nor 5.1.12, nor 6.2.2.  
2024-05-23: Asking vendor about affected/fixed versions and regarding  
            CVE number.  
2024-05-30: Vendor apologizes for version confusion, following up with team  
            internally. Vendor plans to publish an advisory with CVE, but  
            no date yet, asks us to wait/coordinate our advisory with theirs.  
2024-06-03: Answering that we will wait for their release & advisory.  
2024-06-17: Asking for a status update regarding the version numbers &  
            advisory release.  
            Vendor: no ETA/timeline yet, no version information.  
2024-09-25: Asking for a status update regarding the vendor advisory and for  
            confirmation of the available fixes.  
2024-09-27: Vendor investigated further and previous versions are unfortunately  
            affected as well. Product team works on a fix, advisory & CVE  
            release scheduled for 9th October 9 AM PT.  
2024-09-27: Acknowledging the coordinated advisory release for 9th October.

            and their advisory draft.  
2024-10-07: Vendor confirms 5.2.x as affected as well, but is EOL without fix.  
2024-10-09: Coordinated release of security advisory.

Solution:  
---------  
The vendor provides an updated version v6.2.5 which fixes the issues for this  
specific branch. Other versions are not yet patched and will be fixed in future  
releases.

Further information can be found at the vendor's website.  
https://security.paloaltonetworks.com

Users are urged to upgrade to the latest version and remove old versions  
of the MSI installer, especially users of v5.2.x as this branch is EOL and won't  
receive an update.

SEC Consult has also released a blog post on 12th September 2024 regarding MSI  
installer security issues tracked as CVE-2024-38014 and a general fix by  
Microsoft. We have contacted Microsoft to have a more general solution for  
every affected vendor. For further details check out the blog post:

Vulnerability / Browser Security

Mozilla has revealed that a critical security flaw impacting Firefox and Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) has come under active exploitation in the wild.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-9680, has been described as a use-after-free bug in the Animation timeline component.

"An attacker was able to achieve code execution in the content process by exploiting a use-after-free in Animation timelines," Mozilla said in a Wednesday advisory.

"We have had reports of this vulnerability being exploited in the wild."

Security researcher Damien Schaeffer from Slovakian company ESET has been credited with discovering and reporting the vulnerability.

The issue has been addressed in the following versions of the web browser

*   Firefox 131.0.2
*   Firefox ESR 128.3.1, and
*   Firefox ESR 115.16.1.

There are currently no details on how the vulnerability is being exploited and the identity of the threat actor behind them.

That said, such remote code execution vulnerabilities could be weaponized in several ways, either as part of a watering hole attack targeting specific websites or by means of a drive-by download campaign that tricks users into visiting bogus websites.

Users are advised to update to the latest version to stay protected against active threats.
