Details
A vulnerability was found in Synology DiskStation Manager 4.3-3810 (Network Attached Storage Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown function of the file webapi/FileStation/file_sharing.cgi. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the FileBrowser components in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) before 4.3-3810 Update 3 allow remote attackers to read, write, and delete arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the (1) path parameter to file_delete.cgi or (2) folder_path parameter to file_share.cgi in webapi/FileStation/; (3) dlink parameter to fbdownload/; or unspecified parameters to (4) html5_upload.cgi, (5) file_download.cgi, (6) file_sharing.cgi, (7) file_MVCP.cgi, or (8) file_rename.cgi in webapi/FileStation/.
The weakness was released 12/20/2013 by Andrea Fabrizi with andreafabrizi.it as Synology DSM multiple directory traversal as confirmed mailinglist post (Full-Disclosure). It is possible to read the advisory at seclists.org. The public release was coordinated with Synology. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2013-6987 since 12/06/2013. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The successful exploitation requires a authentication. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1006 according to MITRE ATT&CK.
A public exploit has been developed by Andrea Fabrizi in HTTP Request and been published immediately after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at seclists.org. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 15 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 72346 (Synology DiskStation Manager < 4.3-3810 Update 3 Multiple FileBrowser Component Directory Traversal Vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CGI abuses. The advisory illustrates:
The only countermeasure implemented against this vulnerability is the check that the path starts with a valid shared folder, so is enough to put the "../" straight after, to bypass the security check.
Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (89892), Exploit-DB (30475), Tenable (72346), SecurityFocus (BID 64483†) and OSVDB (101268†). Entries connected to this vulnerability are available at VDB-11565, VDB-11566, VDB-11567 and VDB-11568. Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
