CVE-2020-3158

A vulnerability in the High Availability (HA) service of Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access a sensitive part of the system with a high-privileged account. The vulnerability is due to a system account that has a default and static password and is not under the control of the system administrator. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using this default account to connect to the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to obtain read and write access to system data, including the configuration of an affected device. The attacker would gain access to a sensitive portion of the system, but the attacker would not have full administrative rights to control the device.

It looks like the base software is installed as part of a Centos 7 system. Customizations are found in the ‘hardening’ directory on the installer ISO file.

atlantis-post-install.sh looks interesting, as it sets up all of the services and unpacks the custom file satellite-install.tgz

Interestingly the docker layers that appear to be part of the build leak a number of internal Cisco resource names:

Other internal creds seem to be baked into the app as well, even in the current version. This app looks worthy of future explorations, especially for the other secrets it contains. I’m just not sure how much install footprint it has in the real world, at least I’ve never worked for a company that would be the target market for this app.
