Dell EMC RSA Authentication Manager up to 8.3 Quick Setup path traversal

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability was found in Dell EMC RSA Authentication Manager up to 8.3. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is an unknown code block of the component Quick Setup. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The Quick Setup component of RSA Authentication Manager versions prior to 8.4 is vulnerable to a relative path traversal vulnerability. A local attacker could potentially provide an administrator with a crafted license that if used during the quick setup deployment of the initial RSA Authentication Manager system, could allow the attacker unauthorized access to that system.

The bug was discovered 01/03/2019. The weakness was released 01/16/2019 as not defined mailinglist post (Full-Disclosure). The advisory is available at seclists.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2018-15782 since 08/23/2018. Local access is required to approach this attack. The requirement for exploitation is a simple authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1006 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 121232 (EMC RSA Authentication Manager < 8.4 Relative Path Traversal (DSA-2018-226)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CGI abuses and running in the context r.

Upgrading to version 8.4 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at Tenable (121232).
