#
# ALCASAR is a free Network Access Controller which controls the Internet consultation networks. 
# It authenticates, attributes and protects users' access regardless their connected equipment 
# (PC, smartphone, game console, etc.).
#
# I recently released an exploit for ALCASAR 2.8 (ALCASAR <= 2.8 Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Root).
# As a reminder, it was a trivial code execution via a unfiltered exec() call:
#
#   $pattern = preg_replace('/www./','',$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
#   exec("grep -Re ^$pattern$ /etc/dansguardian/lists/blacklists/*/domains|cut -d'/' -f6", $output);
#
# A few days later, a new version corrects the vulnerability. Or maybe not...
#
# At first, this is how ALCASAR's developers present the previous vulnerability:
# 
# " A security hole has been discovered on ALCASAR V2.8 (only this version). This vulnerability allows a user "
# " connected on the LAN to retrieve a lot of data from the server. The ALCASAR team is testing few security  "
# " patches. A script that you could run on the active servers will be available on this forum ASAP. At that  "
# " time, the download version of ALCASAR will be incremented (V2.8.1) "
#
# ?!? This vulnerability allows a user connected on the LAN to *TOTALLY PWN* the server:
# Get a root shell, stop all services, sniff all connections, inject data in users' sessions, sniff passwords,
# bypass firewall rules, act as another user, etc.
# This is not just a matter of "retrieving a lot of data from the server".
#
# Not to alert users of real criticality of a vulnerability is a very serious lack of security.
# Lying by saying that the vulnerability only affects version 2.8 while it also affects version 2.7 is another
# one.
#
# Now, the patch itself: it tries to correct the vulnerability by filtering the vulnerable input:
#
# $pattern = filter_var($pattern, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) == false ? "" : $pattern;
#
# WTF?!
# First, I think that the application no longer works. By default, filter_var() is going to accept an URL
# only if its scheme is valid:
#
#   $ php -r 'var_dump(filter_var("www.google.com", FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));'
#     bool(false)
#   $ php -r 'var_dump(filter_var("http://www.google.com", FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));'
#     string(21) "http://www.google.com"
#
# But... we cannot put http:// in the HTTP host field, the HTTP server won't let us...
# Dev, did you try your patch?
# Instead, to execute code, it's quite easy to bypass this filtering using "mailto:email@...id.tld;cmd;"
# Service down, vulnerability still present: double fail.
#
# The privilege escalation in the previous exploit was using openssl, to gain reading and writing rights
# as root.
#
# The patch therefore removes openssl in the sudoers file (without changing the legitimate
# calls in the PHP code...). So let's use another method: systemctl is still callable via sudo...
#
# We can create a service with our command and start it as root:
#
# sudo systemctl link /tmp/pwn3d.service
# sudo systemctl start pwn3d.service
#
# Conclusion: triple fail.
#
# Wouldn't a "responsable de la sécurité des systèmes d'information d'un grand commandement" need a 
# little training on secure PHP development?
#
# On ALCASAR website:
#
# "The security of the portal has been worked out like a bastion in order to resist to different
# kinds of threat"
#
# LOLZ!!! Remote Root Code Execution does not seem to be part of these "different kinds of threat".
#
# ALCASAR is not built with security in mind. Apache user can sudo, there is no chroot, no separation,
# the PHP code is dreadful, some passwords are unnecessarily stored in plaintext, the function to 
# generate user password is weak, there are no system updates (kernel is out to date, from Jul 4 2013),
# etc.
#
# Development is not really open either: there is no bugtracker, no trac, no way to see what has been 
# patched, etc. If the elementary rules of open source development had been met, a user could have 
# prevented this 2.8.1 patch from being crap.
