| शीर्षक | Ahsay Systems Corporation Limited Ahsay CBS 10.3.0 Remote Code Execution via Arbitrary File Write |
|---|
| विवरण | Armadin chained an authentication bypass with an arbitrary file write vulnerability in the Ahsay Cloud Backup Suite (CBS) "Replication Receiver" feature to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution as `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM` on the underlying host. The application's API accepted a static `Random` token in place of valid credentials, allowing Armadin to configure a malicious receiver and write a Java Server Page (JSP) web shell directly into the live CBS application directory. If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary operating system commands on the host, resulting in complete system compromise.
### Affected Scope
- `/rps/api/json/UpdateReceivers.do`
- `/rps/obs7/rpsfile/upload`
### Technical Details
Using the static `Random` token obtained as described in the aforementioned authentication bypass finding, Armadin sent an unauthenticated request to `/rps/api/json/UpdateReceivers.do` to create a Replication Receiver with `SystemHome` set to the live CBS web application directory (`C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\webapps\cbs`) rather than a backup storage path:
```http

}
```

```
*Figure 12: Server response confirming the receiver was successfully created*
The `"Status":"OK"` response confirmed the receiver was created without valid credentials, using only the `Random` bypass token.
Armadin used the file synchronization endpoint exposed for replication receivers, `PUT /rps/obs7/rpsfile/upload`, to write a JSP file directly into the directory specified by `SystemHome` above. The `X-Rsw-Custom-Encode-Path` header contained a base64-encoded filename that Armadin randomized to prevent unauthorized discovery. Armadin also configured the web shell to require a hardcoded credential, preventing unauthorized access during the assessment.

*Figure 14: Server response confirming the web shell was successfully uploaded*
The `201 Created` response confirmed the file was written successfully to the live web application directory.
Armadin subsequently requested the uploaded JSP file directly, supplying the Armadin-defined secret key and an OS command (`hostname && whoami`) as query parameters:
```http
GET
/cbs/app/FmParc6ZV5aqVwebjDNHcVxp94qV4rY7v0mbAVT5ykebAX2CYdf.jsp?key=wbNikXa[REDACTED]&cmd=hostname%26%26whoami HTTP/1.1
Host: [REDACTED]

```

nt authority\system
```
*Figure 16: Server response displaying the output of the executed command*
The response confirmed arbitrary operating system command execution on host `[REDACTED]`, running as `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM`. |
