FOG Project is a comprehensive open-source platform designed for cloning, imaging, rescuing, and managing systems. Organizations, educational institutions, and businesses utilize FOG Project for maintaining and deploying system images efficiently. The software simplifies the process of managing multiple systems by enabling centralized control over deploying and configuring operating images. Users benefit from its flexibility and support for a diverse range of hardware setups. As it streamlines repetitive tasks, FOG Project is popular in environments where system uniformity and fast redeployment are critical. The platform continually evolves with community contributions and updates.
The vulnerability addressed here is a Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploit present in versions of FOG Project prior to 1.5.10.34. Attackers can leverage the RCE vulnerability to run arbitrary commands on the server through specially crafted input. This vulnerability stems from improper validation and sanitization of input parameters in the web-based management interface of FOG. As RCE provides attackers with the ability to control system operations remotely, it is categorized as a critical security threat. Systems affected by this vulnerability are at risk of significant compromise if left unpatched. Regular code audits and security updates are crucial in mitigating such vulnerabilities.
The RCE vulnerability is specifically facilitated through the 'filename' parameter, found in the endpoint /fog/management/export.php. Poor input handling allows attackers to inject malicious code into the system via crafted requests. The test for successful exploitation involves sending POST requests to the endpoint with a payload in the filename parameter, leading to the execution of embedded system commands. The use of dynamic file generation without adequate safeguards is a key factor in this vulnerability. Upon execution, the potentially malicious file may be accessed and executed on the target system. Consistent verification and sanitization of user inputs can prevent such exploits.
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the web server. Potential impacts include unauthorized access, data exfiltration, modification of files, installation of malware, and complete system compromise. Unchecked, this could lead to loss of data integrity and confidentiality, service disruption, and further attacks within the network. Systems administrators should consider isolation and hardened security controls to limit the scope of potential damage. Implementing robust logging and monitoring can help detect and respond to suspicious activity linked to such vulnerabilities.
