Summary:
--------
File Replication Pro (FRP)  is a file management solution that is used
to back up and copy files from various nodes in the network. Vantage
Point has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in FRP v7.2.0 (and
possibly prior versions) that allow a remote unauthenticated malicious
run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.

The vulnerabilities that were discovered are:

- Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution
- Unauthenticated Remote Arbitrary File Disclosure
- Unauthenticated Directory Traversal and File Listing

1. Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution
-------------------------------------------
The backup agents implements a RPC service port 9200 that supports
various calls, including a function called "ExecCommand" that
unsurprisingly executes shell commands on the system. A password hash
is used to authenticate calls on this interface (note that the hash
itself and not the password is used for authentication). This hash can
be obtained from the remote file disclosure vulnerability present in
the software (listed below) and used to  authenticate to the RPC
service, where subsequently, arbitrary commands are executed as the
SYSTEM user.

2. Unauthenticated Remote Arbitrary File Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------
A flaw in File Replication Pro allows a malicious user to gain access
to the contents of any file on the remote server. This leads to the
compromise of sensitive information such as user accounts and password
hashes, which can then be used to further exploit the server using
other vulnerabilities in the software. An example of how to view File
Replication Pro's web interface user accounts and credentials is shown
below by accessing the following URLs:

- http://1.2.3.4:9100/DetailedLogReader.jsp?log_path=C:\Program+Files\FileReplicationPro\\etc\\properties.xml
- http://1.2.3.4:9100/DetailedLogReader.jsp?log_path=C:\Program+Files\FileReplicationPro\\etc\\configuration.xml


3. Unauthenticated Directory Traversal and File Listing
-------------------------------------------------------
It was possible to anonymously view the file directory structure of
the remote File Replication Pro management server as well as the file
directory structure of all server nodes that are managed by the
management server. The parameters that are used to construct the POST
request in the example code below can be obtained via the remote file
disclosure vulnerability by accessing File Replication Pro's
configuration.xml, properties.xml and .frp_id files.

POST /GetRemoteDirList.jsp?server_name=WIN7SP1&server_key=WIN7SP1~29d919a3:150c736b708:-8000&server_role=Source&server_password=&parent_dir=../../../c:/
