*Background *
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/products/access/epmp-1000/
ePMP™ 1000
Wireless service providers and enterprises need reliable, high-quality
broadband connectivity that can be rapidly deployed and expanded. The
ePMP platform provides stable coverage across large service areas and
enhances your existing infrastructure.
*Deployed by:*

*Vulnerability Details*
*From Cambium Networks ePMP 1000 user / configuration guide:
*
ePMP 1000 has four (4) users -
- ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions.
- INSTALLER, who has permissions to read and write parameters
applicable to unit installation and monitoring.
- HOME, who has permissions only to access pertinent information for
support purposes
- READONLY, who only has permissions to view the Monitor page.
.....
1. *OS Command Injection *
'admin' and 'installer' users have access to perform Ping and
Traceroute functions via GUI. No other user has this access.
Ping function accepts destination IP address value via 'ping_ip
parameter and uses three (3) other parameters - packets_num, buf_size
and ttl, to perform Ping.
Traceroute function accepts destination IP address via 'traceroute_ip'
parameter.
The application does not perform strict input validation for all these
parameters - ping_ip', packets_num, buf_size and ttl for Ping
function; and traceroute_ip for Traceroute function.
This allows an authenticated user - 'admin' or non-admin,
low-privileged 'installer' & ‘home’ users - to be able to inject
arbitrary system commands that gets executed by the host.

2. *Weak Authorization Controls + privilege escalation*
'home' and 'readonly' users do not have access to Ping and Traceroute
functions via management portal. However, the application lacks strict
authorization controls, and we can still perform both these functions
by sending corresponding HTTP(S) requests directly, when logged in as
low-privileged, 'home' user.
When we combine this flaw with above described OS Command Injection
affecting ping and traceroute, it is possible for non-admin,
low-privileged, ‘home’ user to execute system level commands via
'ping' and 'traceroute' functions and dump password hashes easily and
/ or perform any system level functions.
*Note*: ‘readonly’ user cannot perform this. Only ‘home’ user can
exploit these.
.....
*Steps to attack -
*
a login as home user
b craft & send HTTP request for ping and traceroute functions

Similarly, Traceroute function can be exploited.

3. *Weak Authorization Controls + Information Disclosure*
In addition to 'admin', only 'installer' user has the option to access
device configuration. ‘home’ user does not have GUI option and should
not be able to access / download device configuration. However, the
application lacks strict authorization measures and the low-privileged
'home' user can gain unauthorized access to the device configuration
simply by requesting it.
*Configuration backup export* can be performed by directly accessing
the following url:
*http://<IP_address>/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=<homeuser-stok_value>/admin/config_export?opts=json
*
Upon a successful config export, full device configuration with
clear-text passwords, usernames, keys, IP addresses, statistics, logs
etc is downloaded.
