Linksys WRT54 GL - Session riding (CSRF)
========================================================================
============
Release date: 07.01.2008
Severity: High
Remote-Exploit: yes
Impact: Session riding
Status: Official patch not available
Software: Linksys WRT54 GL
Tested on: firmware version 4.30.9
Vendor: http://www.linksys.com/
Vendor-Status: informed on 14.08.2007
Disclosed by: Tomaz Bratusa (Team Intell)[TISA-2008-01]
Introduction
============
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box.
First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both
screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at
11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex
10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four
PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network
as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets
your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
Security Risk
=============
Linksys WRT54GL is prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability.
Reportedly, the device permits changes in its configuration settings
without requring authentication (CSRF).
Technical Description
=====================
Linksys WRT54GL is prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability. The
problem presents itself when a victim user visits a specially crafted web
page on an attacker-controlled site. An attacker can exploit this
vulnerability to bypass authentication and modify the configuration
settings of the device.
If the administrator of Linksys WRT54GL is logged into the device and opens
a malicious website or email with the same browser, he is subject to
attacks.
Imagine the worst case, where the administrator is constantly logged into
his firewall appliance because he needs to configure changes throughout
the day. A malicious link executing unnoticed by the administrator may open
the firewall.
This issue is reported to affect firmware version 4.30.9; other firmware
versions may also be affected.
PoC
===
https://192.168.1.1/apply.cgi?submit_button=Firewall&change_action=&acti
on=Apply&block_wan=1&block_loopback=0&multicast_pass=0&ident_pass=0&bloc
k_cookie=0&block_java=0&block_proxy=0&block_activex=0&filter=off&_block_
wan=1&_block_multicast=0&_ident_pass=1
Folowing the previous link will disable the firewall on 192.168.1.1 on your
LAN.
Workaround:
============
1.No official patch yet.
2.Do not surf the web when you are configuring your router.
