Details

The R1510 is an industrial cellular router. It offers several advanced software like an innovative use of Open VPN, Cloud management, data over-use guard, smart reboot and others

The R1510 has a web server that manages several endpoints. One group of endpoints have the following form /ajax/<API_endpoint>/. Several of those endpoints use unsafe functions with user provided parameters, like the standard system function, and a custom one called sysprintf.

Here it is sysprintf:

void sysprintf(char *format_string,char *param_2,char *char*,char *param_4)

{
  [...]

  va_list_ptr = va_list;
  va_list[0] = param_2;
  va_list[1] = char*;
  va_list[2] = param_4;
  vsnprintf(shell_command,0x200,format_string,va_list_ptr);                                             [1]
  system(shell_command);                                                                                [2]
  return;
}

At [1] a string is formatted, using the first argument of the function as format string and the others parameters as format string arguments. If one of the argument is controllable by an attacker a command injection would occur at [2].

CVE-2022-33325 - /ajax/clear_tools_log/ command injection

This command injection is in the /ajax/clear_tools_log/ API.

The function that handles that endpoint is:

undefined4 /ajax/clear_tools_log/(Webs *webs)

{
  [...]

  [...]
      tools_name = (char *)websGetVar(webs,"tools_name",0);                                             [3]
      iVar1 = string_is_not_empty(tools_name);
      if (iVar1 != 0) {
        TOOLS_LOG_FILE_MARK = websGetSessionVar(webs,"_:TOOLS_LOG_FILE_MARK:_","0");
        pcVar5 = (char *)sfmt("rm %s/wlf_%s_%s.log -rf","/tmp/log/tools",tools_name,                    [4]
                              TOOLS_LOG_FILE_MARK);
        iVar1 = system(pcVar5);                                                                         [5]
        [...]

At [3] the tools_name variable is fetched and then, at [4], used to format a string. The formatted string is then used at [5] as argument for the system function. This can lead to a command injection.

CVE-2022-33326 - /ajax/config_rollback/ command injection

This command injection is in the /ajax/config_rollback/ API.

The function that handles that endpoint is:

undefined4 /ajax/config_rollback/(Webs *webs)

{
  [...]

  [...]
        archive_param = websGetVar(webs,"archive",0);                                                   [6]
        iVar4 = dir_exists("/app/config/rollback_archive");
        iVar1 = -1;
        if (iVar4 != 0) {
          sysprintf("mkdir -p %s","/tmp/config_rollback");
          iVar1 = sysprintf("tar -C %s -zxf %s/%s.tgz && uci -c import %s/config.xml && rm %s -rf",
                            "/tmp/config_rollback","/app/config/rollback_archive",archive_param,
                            "/tmp/config_rollback","/tmp/config_rollback");                             [7]
          iVar1 = -(uint)(iVar1 != 0);
        }

At [6] the archive variable is fetched and then used as argument of the sysprintf function at [7]. This can lead to a command injection.

CVE-2022-33327 - /ajax/remove_sniffer_raw_log/ command injection

This command injection is in the /ajax/remove_sniffer_raw_log/ API.

The function that handles that endpoint is:

undefined4 /ajax/remove_sniffer_raw_log/(Webs *webs)

{
  [...]

  [...]
      file_name = (char *)websGetVar(webs,"file_name",0);                                               [8]
      if ((file_name != (char *)0x0) && (pcVar5 = strstr(file_name,".."), pcVar5 == (char *)0x0)) {
        shell_command = (char *)sfmt("rm %s/%s -rf","/tmp/log/sniffer",file_name);                      [9]
        iVar1 = system(shell_command);                                                                  [10]
        [...]

At [8] the file_name variable is fetched and then, at [9], used to format a string. The formatted string is then used at [10] as argument for the system function. This can lead to a command injection.

CVE-2022-33328 - /ajax/remove/ command injection

This command injection is in the /ajax/remove/ API.

The function that handles that endpoint is:

undefined4 /ajax/remove/(Webs *webs)

{
  [...]

  [...]
      file_name = (char *)websGetVar(webs,"file_name",0);                                               [11]
      if ((file_name != (char *)0x0) &&
         (shell_command = strstr(file_name,".."), shell_command == (char *)0x0)) {
        shell_command = (char *)sfmt("rm %s -rf",file_name);                                            [12]
        iVar1 = system(shell_command);                                                                  [13]
        [...]
}

At [11] the file_name variable is fetched and then, at [12], used to format a string. The formatted string is then used at [13] as argument for the system function. This can lead to a command injection.

CVE-2022-33329 - /ajax/set_sys_time/ command injection

This command injection is in the /ajax/set_sys_time/ API.

The function that handles that endpoint is:

undefined4 /ajax/set_sys_time/(Webs *webs)

{
  [...]

  [...]
      date = websGetVar(webs,"date",0);                                                                 [14]
      if ((date != 0) && (iVar3 = string_is_empty(date), iVar3 == 0)) {
        sysprintf("date \"%s\"",date);                                                                  [15]
        [...]
}

At [14] the date variable is fetched and then used at [15] as argument of the sysprintf function. This can lead to a command injection.
