Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager up to 2.5 (Server Management Software). Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown part of the component File Validation Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager (aka CBM) before 2.5.1 does not proper handle uploads, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

The weakness was published 06/11/2013 by Andrea Micalizzi (rgod) as VMSA-2013-0008 as confirmed advisory (Website) via ZDI (Zero Day Initiative). The advisory is shared at vmware.com. The public release has been coordinated with VMware. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2013-3520 since 05/08/2013. The attack can be launched remotely. A single authentication is necessary for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1059 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed by metasploit and been published 2 months after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at exploit-db.com. It is declared as highly functional. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 66897 (VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager Remote Code Execution (VMSA-2013-0008)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 121274 (VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager Remote Code Execution Vulnerability).

Upgrading to version 2.5.1 eliminates this vulnerability. The upgrade is hosted for download at my.vmware.com. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (84941), Exploit-DB (27046), Tenable (66897), SecurityFocus (BID 60484†) and OSVDB (94188†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
