What kind of summer has it been?

As we head into the final third of 2024, we caught up with Talos' Nick Biasini to ask him about the biggest shifts and trends in the threat landscape so far. Turns out, he has two major areas of concern.

DiCal-RED 4009 Information Disclosure

DiCal-RED version 4009 provides a network server on TCP port 2101. This service does not seem to process any input, but it regularly sends data to connected clients. This includes operation messages when they are processed by the device. An unauthenticated attacker can therefore gain information about current emergency situations and possibly also emergency vehicle positions or routes.

DiCal-RED 4009 Outdated Third Party Components

DiCal-RED version 4009 makes use of unmaintained third party components with their own vulnerabilities.

DiCal-RED 4009 Log Disclosure

DiCal-RED version 4009 is vulnerable to unauthorized log access and other files on the device's file system due to improper authentication checks.

DiCal-RED 4009 Path Traversal

DiCal-RED version 4009 has an administrative web interface that is vulnerable to path traversal attacks in several places. The functions to download or display log files can be used to access arbitrary files on the device's file system. The upload function for new license files can be used to write files anywhere on the device's file system - possibly overwriting important system configuration files, binaries or scripts. Replacing files that are executed during system operation results in a full compromise of the whole device.

DiCal-RED 4009 Cryptography Failure

DiCal-RED version 4009 provides an administrative web interface that requests the administrative system password before it can be used. Instead of submitting the user-supplied password, its MD5 hash is calculated on the client side and submitted. An attacker who knows the hash of the correct password but not the password itself can simply replace the value of the password URL parameter with the correct hash and subsequently gain full access to the administrative web interface.
