Vendor description:
-------------------
"Reliable, centralized personal storage with automatic backup that plugs into
your own home network. Share whatever you want, anywhere you have an Internet
connection."
Source: www.wdc.com/products/personal-cloud-storage/my-cloud.html
Business recommendation:
------------------------
By combining the vulnerabilities documented in this advisory an attacker
can fully compromise a WD My Cloud device. In the worst case one could steal
sensitive data stored on the device or use it as a jump host for further
internal attacks.
SEC Consult recommends not to attach WD My Cloud to the network until
a thorough security review has been performed by security professionals and
all identified issues have been resolved.
Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
The firmware doesn't apply proper validation on many user inputs. As a
result, below vulnerabilities could be exploited by unauthenticated attackers
to fully compromise the device.
1. Unauthenticated OS Command Injection
Any OS commands can be injected by unauthenticated attackers. This is a
serious vulnerability as the chances for the device to be fully compromise is
very high.
2. Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload
A malicious file can be uploaded into the webserver with no authentication
required. It is possible for an attacker to upload a script to issue operating
system commands.
3. Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
There is no anti-CSRF mechanism implemented in the firmware. Due to this, an
attacker can force a user to execute any action through any script. As the
vulnerabilities described in 1) and 2) do not need authentication, those can
be exploited via CSRF over the Internet as well!
Proof of concept:
-----------------
1. Unauthenticated OS Command Injection
Below is a sample cURL request to execute arbitrary OS command for one of
vulnerable scripts.
$ curl http:// $IP/web/addons/jqueryFileTree.php?host=x&pwd=x&user=x&dir=x&lang=x\"\; <os-command-here>\; echo \"x
2. Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload
Below is the cURL request to upload arbitrary files on the webserver.
$ curl -F "file=@shell.php" http:// $IP/web/addons/upload.php?name=x&folder=<target-upload-directory>&index=<script-name>
3. Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
There is no anti-CSRF mechanism implemented for all accessible scripts in the
firmware.
Vulnerable / tested versions:
-----------------------------
The following device & firmware has been tested and found to be vulnerable:
2.11.157 (My Cloud EX2)
As the firmware used by all My Cloud devices are more or less similar, we
believe the other versions are also prone to the same vulnerabilities. This could
be verified by using the IoT Inspector software for automated firmware analysis.
Vendor contact timeline:
------------------------
2017-01-18: Contacting vendor through "WD Support - Create a Support Case"
page (https://support.wdc.com/support/case.aspx?lang=en).
