Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as very critical was found in EMC AlphaStor 4.0. This vulnerability affects an unknown part of the file rrobotd.exe of the component DCP Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The NetWorker command processor in rrobotd.exe in the Device Manager in EMC AlphaStor 4.0 before build 800 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a DCP "run command" operation.

The weakness was shared 01/18/2013 by Aniway.Anyway with Zero Day Initiative as ESA-2012-008 as confirmed mailinglist post (Bugtraq). The advisory is shared for download at seclists.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2013-0928 since 01/09/2013. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Technical details and also a public exploit are known. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 06/16/2025). The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1202.

A public exploit has been developed by Metasploit in Ruby and been published 2 years after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at securityfocus.com. It is declared as highly functional. As 0-day the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 120877 (EMC AlphaStor Multiple Vulnerabilities).

Upgrading to version 4.0 build 800 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 13001.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (81432), Exploit-DB (34756), SecurityFocus (BID 57472†), OSVDB (89436†) and Secunia (SA51930†). The entries VDB-7443 and VDB-63472 are related to this item. Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
