Summary

IBM BigFix Platform 9.5 could allow any authenticated user to upload any file to any location on the server with root privileges. This results in code execution on underlying system with root privileges. IBM X-Force ID: 155887.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs
    In applications, particularly web applications, access to functionality is mitigated by the authorization framework, whose job it is to map ACLs to elements of the application's functionality; particularly URL's for web apps. In the case that the administrator failed to specify an ACL for a particular element, an attacker may be able to access it with impunity. An attacker with the ability to access functionality not properly constrained by ACLs can obtain sensitive information and possibly compromise the entire application. Such an attacker can access resources that must be available only to users at a higher privilege level, can access management sections of the application or can run queries for data that he is otherwise not supposed to.
  • Privilege Abuse
    An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources. If access control mechanisms are absent or misconfigured, a user may be able to access resources that are intended only for higher level users. An adversary may be able to exploit this to utilize a less trusted account to gain information and perform activities reserved for more trusted accounts. This attack differs from privilege escalation and other privilege stealing attacks in that the adversary never actually escalates their privileges but instead is able to use a lesser degree of privilege to access resources that should be (but are not) reserved for higher privilege accounts. Likewise, the adversary does not exploit trust or subvert systems - all control functionality is working as configured but the configuration does not adequately protect sensitive resources at an appropriate level.

descriptionAccording to its self-reported version, the IBM BigFix Platform application running on the remote host is 9.5.x prior to 9.5.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An arbitrary file upload vulnerability exists in IBM BigFix Platform. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to upload arbitrary files on the remote host as the root user. (CVE-2019-4013) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in IBM BigFix Platform due to the PortSmash side-channel attack against processors leveraging SMT/Hyper-Threading. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2018-5407) - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user
