Vulnerability summary

-------------------------------------------------

ManageEngine DataSecurity Plus's DataEngine Xnode Server application does not validate the database schema name when handling `DR-SCHEMA-SYNC` request. This allows an authenticated attacker to execute code in the context of DataSecurity Plus application by writing a JSP file in the webroot directory using a directory traversal attack.



Technical details

------------------------------------------------

Upon receiving the `DR-SCHEMA-SYNC` request, the application calls the `syncDRSchemas()` function of `DataRepositoryManager` class at line:109 of `DataRepositoryManager.java` from `dataengine-xnode.jar` package.



As can be seen at line:126 of function `syncDRSchemas()` , the function concatenates the name of database schema while generating the filename dynamically and write the values passed in a JSON object to it.



```java

109: public static JSONObject syncDRSchemas(DataRepositoryActionRequest request) throws Exception {

110:   JSONObject jResponse = new JSONObject();

111:   JSONObject jSchemas = request.drSchemaListObj();

112:   File schemasFolder = ((Path) Environment.XNODE_DR_SCHEMA_DIR.value()).toFile();

113:   schemaMap = new ConcurrentHashMap();

114:   if (!schemasFolder.exists()) {

115:    schemasFolder.mkdirs();

116:   }

117:   if (schemasFolder.isDirectory()) {

118:    File[] schemaFileList = schemasFolder.listFiles();

119:    for (File schemaFile: schemaFileList) {

120:     schemaFile.delete();

121:    }

122:   }

123:   Iterator iterator = jSchemas.keys();

124:   while (iterator.hasNext()) {

125:    String key = (String) iterator.next();

126:    BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(Environment.XNODE_DR_SCHEMA_DIR.value() + File.separator + key));

127:    bw.write(jSchemas.getJSONObject(key).toString(2));

128:    bw.close();

129:    Object schema = new XNodeDRSchema(key.replace(".json", ""), jSchemas.getJSONObject(key));

130:    schemaMap.put(((DRSchema) schema).getSchemaName(), schema);

131:    LOGGER.info("SYNCHED : DataRepository Schema '" + key + "'");

132:    }

133:    checkFieldWithMultipleDataTypes();

134:    jResponse.put("error_code", 0);

135:    return jResponse;

136:   }

```



Proof of concept

-------------------------------------------------

Using the following exploit code, we can observe that by sending a `DR-SCHEMA-SYNC` request to the DataEngine XNode server with specially crafted schema name, one can write files to the webroot directory of DataSecurityPlus application and execute arbitrary JAVA code.
