Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198) contain a command injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the user 'nobody' via multiple parameters when creating a Proxy report. When a user creates a Proxy report the application issues an HTTP POST to /cgi-bin/logs.cgi/calamaris.dat and reads the values of DAY_BEGIN, MONTH_BEGIN, YEAR_BEGIN, DAY_END, MONTH_END, YEAR_END, NUM_DOMAINS, PERF_INTERVAL, NUM_CONTENT, HIST_LEVEL, NUM_HOSTS, NUM_URLS, and BYTE_UNIT, which are interpolated directly into the shell invocation of the mkreport helper. Because these parameters are never sanitized for improper characters or constructs, a crafted POST can inject shell metacharacters into one or more fields, causing arbitrary commands to run with the privileges of the 'nobody' user.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a command injection flaw in IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198). An authenticated attacker can exploit it by sending specially crafted parameters when creating a Proxy report. The application takes multiple parameters from an HTTP POST request and directly inserts them into a shell command without sanitization. This allows the attacker to inject shell metacharacters and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the 'nobody' user.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system with the privileges of the 'nobody' user. This can lead to unauthorized actions, potential data compromise, system manipulation, or further exploitation depending on what commands are executed.
