Title
Security advisory: Authenticated RCE (command injection) in Kerio Connect 10.0.9 Patch 2 (build 10320) (GFI Software)
Summary
0day Rubbish Research Team is publicly disclosing a vulnerability in Kerio Connect 10.0.9 Patch 2 (build 10320) (GFI Software). The research is published and a proof-of-concept is available. Authenticated RCE (command injection) (CVSS 8.8, authenticated) Kerio Connect 10.0.9 Patch 2 contains a command-injection vulnerability in the WebAdmin JSON-RPC method Server.startEncryption. The password parameter is double-quoted and concatenated unescaped into a cryptsetup shell command that is executed via system() during volume encryption. Because the mail server process runs as root, a FullAdmin user can break out of the quotes and execute arbitrary commands as root. Dynamically verified. Impact: Arbitrary command execution as root on the mail server host. An attacker with admin access can read mail stores and credentials, disrupt mail service, and take full control of the server. Advisory: https://0day-rubbish.com/blog/kerio-connect-startencryption-cmd-injection-rce PoC and full analysis: https://github.com/Exploit-Garbage/0day-Rubbish Vendor has been notified. CVE ID is pending. -- 0day Rubbish Research Team https://0day-rubbish.com _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
