Vulnerable versions

utnserver Pro / 20.1.22
utnserver ProMAX / 20.1.22
INU-100 / 20.1.22

Vulnerability overview

1) Multiple Stored Cross-Site Scripting (CVE-2024-11304)
Different settings on the web interface of the device can be abused to store JavaScript code and execute it in the context of a user’s browser.

Proof of Concept

1) Multiple Stored Cross-Site Scripting (CVE-2024-11304)

The following snippet can be used to demonstrate, that stored cross-site scripting is possible in multiple locations on the device:

„><script>alert(document.location)</script>

Examples are:

  • Users password: „usrMg_pwd“
    This can be displayed in cleartext and executed in the device configuration.
  • Certificate options: „Common name“, „Organization name“, „Locality name“
    This can be executed in the certificate information.
  • Device description: „Host name“, „Contact person“, „Description“
    This can be executed in „Device -> Description“.
  • USB password via uploading a crafted „_parameters.txt“ file: „usbMdg_pwd“
    This can be executed in the „Maintenance -> Content View“ tab.

Saving this text to the device description leads to a persistent cross-site scripting. Therefore, everyone who openes the device description executes the injected code in the context of the own browser.

The vulnerabilities were manually verified on an emulated device by using the MEDUSA scalable firmware runtime (https://medusa.cyberdanube.com).

Solution

Install firmware version 20.1.35 to fix the vulnerabilities.

Workaround

None

Recommendation

CyberDanube recommends SEH Computertechnik customers to upgrade the firmware to the latest version available.
