==================================================================== CERT-Renater Note d'Information No. 2020/VULN181 _____________________________________________________________________ DATE : 08/04/2020 HARDWARE PLATFORM(S): Vertiv Avocent Universal Management Gateway Model UMG-4000. OPERATING SYSTEM(S): Universal Management Gateway firmware versions prior to 4.2.2.21. ===================================================================== https://kb.cert.org/vuls/id/944837/ _____________________________________________________________________ Vertiv Avocent UMG-4000 vulnerable to command injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities Vulnerability Note VU#944837 Original Release Date: 2020-03-30 | Last Revised: 2020-03-30 Overview The Vertiv Avocent Universal Management Gateway Model UMG-4000 is a data center management appliance. The web interface of the UMG-4000 is vulnerable to command injection, stored cross-site scripting (XSS), and reflected XSS, which may allow an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to remotely execute arbitrary code. Description The Vertiv Avocent UMG-4000 contains multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to remotely execute arbitrary code. The web interface does not sanitize input provided from the remote client, making it vulnerable to command injection, stored cross-site scripting, and reflected cross-site scripting. CVE-2019-9507 - CWE-95 The web interface of the Avocent UMG-4000 version 4.2.1.19 is vulnerable to command injection because the application incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before executing. Since all commands within the web application are executed as root, this could allow a remote attacker authenticated with an administrator account to execute arbitrary commands. The CVSS 2.0 score below is based on CVE-2019-9507. CVE-2019-9508 - CWE-79 The web interface of the Avocent UMG-4000 version 4.2.1.19 is vulnerable to stored XSS. A remote attacker authenticated with an administrator account could store a maliciously named file within the web application that would execute each time a user browsed to the page. CVE-2019-9509 - CWE-79 The web interface of the Avocent UMG-4000 version 4.2.1.19 is vulnerable to reflected XSS in an HTTP POST parameter. The web application does not neutralize user-controllable input before displaying to users in a web page, which could allow a remote attacker authenticated with a user account to execute arbitrary code. Impact An authenticated remote attacker could inject arbitrary scripts or persistently store malicious scripts on the web server that could be used to collect and exfiltrate sensitive information.
