No CVE number could be assigned (vendor not listed under   
cve.mitre.org/data/board/archives/2016-01/msg00015.html)  
  
Summary:  
Arvato Systems Streamworks Job Scheduler is a software product for   
automation purposes. It helps  
"to plan, maintain, control and monitor all of your automatable IT   
processes" (source: vendor product  
homepage). It consists of different types of services: an   
application server daemon, a processing  
server daemon that controls one or multiple agent daemins   
installed on operating servers were workload  
has to be done.  
  
During a penetration test at a customers site three weaknesses   
concerning communication  
authentication were discovered:  
  
1) All agents installed on server systems use the same X.509   
certificates and private key that  
were issued by the vendor for authentication.  
  
2) The processing server component does not check received   
messages properly for authenticity.  
  
3) Agents installed on servers do not check received messages   
properly for authenticity  
  
4) Agents and processing servers are vulnerable against TLS   
Heartbleed attack (CVE-2014-0160 -  
see https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=cve-2014-0160)  
  
Effect:  
1) If systems were compromised and authentication material is   
stolen, all certificates have to be  
revoked and replaced. In addition, this expands the effect of   
3) to the entire environment,  
not just single systems.  
  
2) An attacker with knwolegde of the message syntax of the product   
and the authentication material  
is able to add, change or delete data within the Streamworks database.  
  
3) An attacker with knowledge of the message syntax of the product   
and the authentication material  
is able to create new or execute available jobs on servers with   
agents installed located within  
the same network. This can lead to a complete loss of integrity,   
confidentiality or availability  
of the respective system or data stored/processed on it.  
  
4) An unauthenticated remote attacker is able to read content   
within system memory.  
  
Vulnerable components and scripts:  
Streamworks Job Scheduler Processing Server Release 7.1  
Streamworks Job Scheduler Agent Release 7.1  
older releases have not been tested  
  
Examples:  
In the following, a sample to exploit 2) and 3) will be given.   
Replace Information within squared  
brackets:  
  
2) By sending a the following XML-Message to a Processing server   
it is possible to change system  
information of a legitimate configured client as proof-of-concept.   
The System OS Info was slightly  
changed:
