Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
# Teltonika RUT9XX Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) #
Link: https://github.com/sbaresearch/advisories/tree/public/2018/SBA-ADV-20180410-01_Teltonika_Cross_Site_Scripting
## Vulnerability Overview ##
Teltonika RUT9XX routers with firmware before 00.05.01.1 are prone to
cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in `hotspotlogin.cgi` due to
insufficient user input sanitization.
* **Identifier** : SBA-ADV-20180410-01
* **Type of Vulnerability** : Cross Site Scripting
* **Software/Product Name** : [Teltonika RUT955](https://teltonika.lt/product/rut955/)
* **Vendor** : [Teltonika](https://teltonika.lt/)
* **Affected Versions** : Firmware RUT9XX_R_00.05.00.5 and probably prior
* **Fixed in Version** : RUT9XX_R_00.05.01.1
* **CVE ID** : CVE-2018-17533
* **CVSSv3 Vector** : CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N
* **CVSSv3 Base Score** : 8.2 (High)
## Vendor Description ##

## Impact ##
By exploiting the documented vulnerabilities, an attacker can execute
JavaScript code in a user's browser within the origin of the router.
The attacker might take over existing or future administrative web
management sessions and gain access to the device.
We recommend upgrading to version RUT9XX_R_00.05.01.1 or newer, which
includes fixes for the vulnerabilities described in this advisory.
## Vulnerability Description ##
Several parameters of the script `hotspotlogin.cgi` are affected by
reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. The scripts are part of
the coova-chilli captive portal. However, in firmware versions before
RUT9XX_R_00.04.233 the vulnerabilities are exploitable regardless of
the device configuration, even if no captive portal is configured.
More concretely, the following parameters are vulnerable:
* `/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi`
* *If* res=failed or res=notyet
* challenge
* uamip
* uamport
* userurl
The affected script outputs these input parameters in an HTML context
without proper output encoding.
The vulnerabilities are located in `hotspotlogin.cgi`:
```lua
[...]
elseif result == 2 or result == 5 then
replace_tags.formHeader = [[<form name="myForm" method="post" action="]] .. loginpath .. [[">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="challenge" VALUE="]] .. challenge .. [[">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="]] .. names["uamip"] .. [[" VALUE="]] .. uamip .. [[">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="]] .. names["uamport"] .. [[" VALUE="]] .. uamport .. [[">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="]] .. names["userurl"] .. [[" VALUE="]] ..userurldecode .. [[">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="res" VALUE="]] .. res .. [[">]]
replace_tags.formFooter = [[</form>]]
[...]
```
As the above code snippet shows, the parameter `userurl` contains user
input and is output without performing any HTML escaping.
## Proof-of-Concept ##
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the `userurl`
query parameter:
```text
http://<IP>/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi?res=failed&userurl="><script>alert(1)</script><span
```
An attacker can exploit the other parameters (e.g. challenge) via POST
requests:
```html
<form action="http://<IP>/cgi-bin/hotspotlogin.cgi" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<input type="hidden" name="res" value="failed&challenge="><script>alert(1)</script><span"">
<input type="submit" value="challenge">
</form>
```
