Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in IBM Tealeaf CX up to 8.7 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown function of the file delivery.php of the component Web Console. The manipulation of the argument testconn_host with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

delivery.php in the Passive Capture Application (PCA) web console in IBM Tealeaf CX 7.x, 8.x through 8.6, 8.7 before FP2, and 8.8 before FP2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the testconn_host parameter.

The weakness was disclosed 03/06/2014 (Website). The advisory is available at tealeaf.support.ibmcloud.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2013-6719 since 11/08/2013. The attack may be launched remotely. The successful exploitation requires a simple authentication. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known. This vulnerability is assigned to T1202 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

A public exploit has been developed by drone in Python and been published 3 weeks after the advisory. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.
