Product: Datacard  MF19 (Mobilis) - Software V1.0.0B04 (PCW_MOBILISALGV1.0.0B03


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Local


Severity Level:
===============
Medium


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been discovered in the official ZTE Datacard mobiconnect MF19 0V1.0.0B04 application software.
The local security vulnerability allows an attackers to gain higher access privileges by exploitation of a insecure permission misconfiguration.

The software suffers from a local privilege escalation vulnerability. Users are able to change the file with executable access to a binary of choice.
The issue is located in the misconfigured permissions values with the `F`(full) flag in the users and everyone group. The permissions are set to all 
the binary files of the software in the same location. The files are installed in the `Ucell Internet` directory. The group/user permission for 
the path is assigned to the everyone group. The full path with the permission misconfiguration allows local low privileged system user accounts to 
exploit the vulnerability to gain higher access privileges. After the attacker replaced the binary file with the malicious code he can reboot the 
system to gain higher access privileges. At the end the attacker is able to fully compromises the system by local exploitation.

The security risk of the local privilege escalation vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) 
count of 6.0. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires a local privileged systen user account without user for interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the privilege escalation web vulnerability results in software- or system compromise.

The second discovered issue is a dll hijacking vulnerability in the mms_dll_r.dll and mediaplayerdll.dll. The issue allows local attackers 
with process privileges to inject own code to the affected libraries.

The third discovered vulnerability is a denial of service bug that affects the local process. Local attackers are able to manipulate the 
networkCfg.xml to crash the application with a runtime error that results in a unhandled exception.


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The vulnerabilities can be exploited by local attackers with restricted account privileges and without user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.
