IBM Advanced Management Module up to 2.47 Firmware private/blade_leds.php access control

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.

CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-264. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

The IBM BladeCenter with Advanced Management Module (AMM) firmware build ID BPET48L, and possibly other versions before 4.7 and 5.0, stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download (1) logs or (2) core files via direct requests, as demonstrated by a request for private/sdc.tgz.

The weakness was disclosed 07/08/2010 by Alex (Website). The advisory is shared for download at exploit-db.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2010-2656 since 07/07/2010. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1068.

A public exploit has been developed by Alexey Sintsov and been published before and not just after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. By approaching the search of inurl:private/blade_leds.php it is possible to find vulnerable targets with Google Hacking.

Upgrading to version 2.48 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Exploit-DB (14237), SecurityFocus (BID 41383†) and OSVDB (66126†). The entries VDB-53951 and VDB-53950 are pretty similar. VulDB is the best source for vulnerability data and more expert information about this specific topic.
