IBM Security Verify Access is a SSO solution mainly used by banks, Fortune 500 companies and governmental entities. _Miscellaneous notes_: The vulnerabilities were found in October 2022 and were communicated to IBM at the beginning of 2023. They ultimately were patched at the end of June 2024 (after 18 months). Requiring 1.5 years to provide security patches for vulnerabilities found in a SSO solution does not appear to be in par with current cybersecurity risks and is quite worrying. Update: Following communications with IBM PSIRT in September 2024 regarding missing CVEs and the publication of this security advisory, it was confirmed that at least one vulnerability was not yet patched (a 2017 DoS in libinjection, no CVE). The vulnerabilities were patched progressively in the 10.0.6, 10.0.7 and 10.0.8 versions. It is unclear if all the non-assigned CVE vulnerabilities have been patched but IBM confirmed that all the vulnerabilities were patched and then IBM closed all the corresponding tickets. Other issues had been reported but ultimately were dismissed (e.g. hard-to-trigger crashes and I did not have any time left for this security assessment). Communication with IBM was difficult since IBM closed the tickets used to track the vulnerabilities multiple times without releasing any security patches. The timeline provided at the later part of this advisory provides an overview of the interactions I have had with IBM. IBM PSIRT redirected queries to IBM support and IBM support provided extremely disappointing answers to vulnerabilities. When I went back to IBM PSIRT with these answers, IBM PSIRT refused them and provided opposite answers. Reporting vulnerabilities to IBM was also inefficient. When I asked IBM for missing CVEs in September 2024, IBM PSIRT confirmed that patches were missing. All the tickets were already closed in June 2024 by IBM and I previously received confirmation that all the vulnerabilities had been patched. Security bulletins were mainly found by following @CVEnew (https://twitter.com/CVEnew) and I had to guess the patched vulnerabilities from the CVE descriptions. After some requests, thankfully, IBM sent me a list of CVEs corresponding to the vulnerabilities I reported. It appears that some CVEs are still missing. Finally, another CVE (CVE-2023-38371 - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-38371), not present in this advisory) was assigned by IBM but refers to an issue (_V-[REDACTED] - Insecure SSLv3 connections to the DSC servers_ in the report sent to IBM) that was confirmed **not** to be a vulnerability by IBM and by me, after a second analysis. This CVE is likely to be revoked. Update: IBM confirmed in September 2024 that this CVE was bogus after I signaled IBM that this is an incorrect CVE. _Impacts_ An attacker can compromise the entire authentication infrastructure based on IBM Security Verify Access (ISAM/ISVA appliances and IBM Docker images) using multiple vulnerabilities (7 RCEs, 1 auth bypass, 8 LPEs and some additional vulnerabilities). Regarding the threat model, it is worth noting that attackers must be able to MITM traffic or get access inside the LAN of the tested organizations to exploit these vulnerabilities. When the IBM Security Verify Access (ISVA) runtime docker instance (a core component of this solution) is reachable over the network, an attacker can bypass the entire authentication and interact with this back-end instance as any user, providing a complete control over any user without authentication. The IBM Security Verify Runtime Docker instance provides the advanced access control and federation capabilities and is a core functionality of IBM Security Verify Access: it provides a back-end for authenticating users (for example, it supports HOTP, TOTP, RSA OTP, MAC OTP with email delivery, username and password, FIDO2/WebAuthn...). The back-end APIs provided by the IBM Security Verify Access runtime docker instance are vulnerable to an authentication bypass vulnerability. Since the back-end is fully reachable, this vulnerability allows an attacker to get persistence in a targeted infrastructure by enrolling malicious Multi-Factor Authenticators to any user, without authentication (e.g. an authenticator assigned to any user, protected by a PIN (or not) chosen by the threat actor). In an offensive scenario, an attacker will likely delete authenticators for admins and security team and enroll new authenticators corresponding to admin accounts and get full control over the infrastructure while locking out legit admins. This vulnerability has not been patched and IBM recommends implementing network restrictions or using mutual TLS authentication and following best practices:
Note: If the runtime container is exposed on an external IP address there must be network restrictions in place to ensure that access is not allowed from untrusted clients, or the runtime must be configured to require mutual TLS authentication. From https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/10.0.8?topic=support-docker-image-verify-access-runtime#concept_thc_pnz_w4b__title__1 And from https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/10.0.8?topic=settings-runtime-parameters And from https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/10.0.8?topic=appliance-tuning-runtime-application-parameters-tracing-specifications
Note that even with network restrictions, a low privileged user on a trusted machine can fully compromise the authentication solution, since the back-end used to manage the entire authentication infrastructure can be reached without authentication by sending a specific HTTP header. Network exposure of this back-end (e.g. with IPv6, from monitoring servers, from docker servers, from webseal servers [that must, by design, reach the authentication back-end], or using a SSRF vulnerability) means a full take over of the authentication infrastructure, which can be quite problematic for large organizations. _Recommendations_ - - Apply security patches. - - Use network segmentation to isolate the Security Verify Access (ISVA) Runtime Docker instance. - - Implement the optional authentication based on SSL certificates in the ISVA Runtime Docker instance (this functionality has been added in the latest ISVA release (10.0.8)). - - Flag any additional authenticator added to an account as suspicious. - - Review logs for any HTTP access from untrusted IPs to the Security Verify Access Runtime Docker instance. Shodan provides a list of websites using this technology. For SOC teams, I suggest using Shodan to check if your organization is using IBM Security Verify Access and following IBM's security recommendations. Please note that due to the versatility of this solution, it is very difficult to correctly detect affected installations using a blackbox approach: - - https://www.shodan.io/search?query=http.favicon.hash%3A-2069014068, 1,740 results as of October 30, 2024 - - https://www.shodan.io/search?query=webseal, 1,083 results as of October 30, 2024 - - https://www.shodan.io/search?query=CP%3D%22NON+CUR+OTPi+OUR+NOR+UNI%22, 6,673 results as of October 30, 2024 ## Details - Authentication Bypass on IBM Security Verify Runtime It is possible to compromise the authentication mechanism and the authentication infrastructure by reaching the APIs provided by the IBM Security Verify Runtime Docker instance. The threat model for this vulnerability requires an attacker with network connectivity to the IBM Security Verify Runtime Docker instance (i) from the Internet (if this service is insecurely exposed) or (ii) more likely from within LAN of the audited organization (meaning the threat actor can reach the HTTPS server of IBM Security Verify Runtime Docker instance). The IBM Security Verify Runtime Docker instance provides the advanced access control and federation capabilities. It is a core functionality of IBM Security Verify Access: it provides a back-end for authenticating users. For example, it supports HOTP, TOTP, RSA OTP, MAC OTP with email delivery, username and password, FIDO2/WebAuthn... The different authentication mechanisms in the APIs provided by the Runtime Docker instance used to manage users (e.g. adding an authenticator for a specific user, removing an authenticator, getting seeds, ...) can be trivially bypassed by specifying an additional HTTP header `iv-user: target-user` (e.g. `iv-user: admin`) in the HTTPS requests. Adding an additional HTTP header `iv-user: target-user` when querying the APIs will provide a complete control over the `target-user`. There is a HTTPs server reachable on port 443/tcp providing APIs: [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] Usually, the IBM Security Verify Runtime Docker instance is only reached by WebSEAL servers (reverse-proxies managing authentication), after a successful authentication as `easuser`, as shown below: Documentation from https://www.ibm.com/docs/SSPREK_10.0.0/com.ibm.isva.doc/config/reference/ref_isamcfg_wga_worksheet.htm:
Select the method for authentication between WebSEAL and the Advanced Access Control runtime listening interface Certificate authentication Use a certificate to authenticate between WebSEAL and the Advanced Access Control runtime listening interface. User ID and password authentication Use credentials to authenticate between WebSEAL and the Advanced Access Control runtime listening interface. The default username is easuser and the default password is passw0rd.
Attack scenario: an attacker will reach the HTTPS APIs provided by the IBM Security Verify Runtime Docker instance and will not use a SSL Certificate or any credential used to manage the instance (`easuser`). [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] Note that while the WebSEAL are exposed to the Internet, the runtime instance is located inside the LAN and is not usually exposed to the Internet. The attacker needs to be located inside the LAN to reach the vulnerable APIs. According to the documentation at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/10.0.7, we can see that the APIs are always reachable using the `/mga/sps/*` path. Actually, the `/mga/` route seems to be managed by WebSEAL servers while the `/sps/*` routes are managed by the runtime docker instance. Without authentication, an attacker can reach the IBM Security Verify Runtime Docker image docker instance by reaching, for example, the `/sps/oauth/oauth20/authorize?client_id=ClientID&response_type=code&scope=mmfaAuthn` API endpoint and specifying which target user to compromise using the additional HTTP header `iv-user: target-user`. This specific endpoint is used to enroll a new Multiple-Factor Authenticator (e.g. the official IBM Security Verify app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ibm.security.verifyapp&hl=en) for the `target-user` user. By specifying the HTTP header `iv-user: target-user`, an attacker can interact with all the APIs located in `/sps/*` for any user, without authentication.

The provided secret code allows enrolling a new authenticator for the target user `target-user`. Note that the `client_id` variable must be edited as we use the specific TestAuthenticatorClient client identifier.

The correct `client_id` identifier can also be obtained by visiting `https://test-runtime/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/device/device_selection.html`.

For example, visiting a remote IBM Security Verify Runtime instance at`https://url/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/device/device_selection.html` without an `iv-user: target-user` HTTP header will return empty information (since the resulting requests sent to APIs are not "authenticated"): [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] Visiting the same address `https://url/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/device/device_selection.html` using Burp Suite Pro, and (i) adding a HTTP Header `iv-user: target-user` in all the resulting HTTP requests and (ii) rewriting the URL from `^\/mga\/sps\/` to `\/sps\/` (since the `/mga/` path is hardcoded in JavaScript code) will now provide a full access for the `target-user` (adding an authenticator, deleting an authenticator, adding passkeys, ...).

As shown previously, it is possible to bypass the entire authentication and interact with the IBM Security Verify runtime docker instance as any user. An attacker can enroll a device for any user, bypassing the entire access controls, and get control over the infrastructure. Since the back-end is fully reachable, an attacker can also delete any authenticator for any user. At the time of the security assessment (October 2022), I was not able to find any official documentation that recommends not exposing the runtime instance to the network, since the runtime APIs are password protected. The latest ISVA release (10.0.8) implements an optional authentication based on SSL certificates. It is **strongly recommended** to implement this authentication mechanism and not to expose the ISVA runtime instance to the network. **Without this optional authentication, any malicous actor (i) with access to WebSEAL servers (with a shell or a SSRF vulnerability) or (ii) with direct network access to the runtime instance, or (iii) with a shell access to any 'trusted' machine (e.g. a monitoring server querying the HTTPS server of ISVA runtime), or (iv) with a low-privilege shell on the docker server running the solution, can completely compromise the authentication infrastructure, without credentials**. Regarding the official recommendations, IBM recommends (i) not to expose the runtime instance to untrusted clients or (ii) to implement SSL-based certificate authentication and follow the following best practices. IBM provided these references as official responses regarding this issue: - - From https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/10.0.8?topic=support-docker-image-verify-access-runtime#concept_thc_pnz_w4b__title__1; - - And https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/10.0.8?topic=settings-runtime-parameters; - - And https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/10.0.8?topic=appliance-tuning-runtime-application-parameters-tracing-specifications:
Note: If the runtime container is exposed on an external IP address there must be network restrictions in place to ensure that access is not allowed from untrusted clients, or the runtime must be configured to require mutual TLS authentication.
- From my understanding, this vulnerability is not going to be patched (no security bulletin was published and no CVE has been assigned, ticket has been closed as solved) because, according to the official recommendations, it is the customer's responsability to filter any communication to the runtime instance. This present security advisory will allow offensive and defensive security teams to correctly understand and improve their security posture. About the detection of insecure instances, a HTTPS request to the `/sps/` route providing the banner `Server: IBM Security Verify Access` in the HTTPS answer will allow SOC team to detect an instance. The banner will not appear when reaching `https://test-runtime/`). If MFA is used, a HTTP request to `/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/device/device_selection.html` (port `443` or `9443`, by default) will allow SOC team to detect an insecure ISVA runtime instance. An answer indicating `200 OK` with the content of the `device_selection.html` webpage will indicate that the tested instance is probably insecure: kali% curl -k https://test-runtime/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/device/device_selection.html [...] < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN < Server: IBM Security Verify Access < Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8 [...] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Device Selection</title> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/sps/static/design.css"></link> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/device/device_selection.css"></link> <script type="text/javascript" src="/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/mgmt_msg.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/sps/static/u2fI18n.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/common.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/device/device_selection.js"></script> On a side note, from my tests, the APIs are also exposed with authentication from the Internet by visiting `https://enroll-url/mga/sps/mga/user/mgmt/html/device/device_selection.html`. If `device_selection.html` is blocked, it is simply possible to inject the correct answer with Burp Suite Pro (using the `device_selection.html` webpage available in official IBM Docker images) and the previous `/mga/sps/` APIs are still reachable since they are needed to successfully enroll an authenticator from the Internet (e.g. the official IBM Verify Security App running on a smartphone). An attacker that enrolled a rogue authenticator to a compromised account can get persistence access from the Internet even if the runtime instance is not reachable anymore or if the "regular" ISVA servers are only reachable from inside the company: the APIs provided by the Internet-faced enrolling server will allow the attackers to enroll new authenticators and retrieve current seeds. Furthermore, with Internet-faced servers (by design, to enroll authenticators) and an authenticated session, the attack surface is quite big. It is also possible to list the target version of a Internet-faced instance (proxifed through WebSEAL) by visiting the `/mga/sps/mmfa/user/mgmt/details` API (when MFA is enabled in ISVA): curl -s https://internet-faced-website/mga/sps/mmfa/user/mgmt/details | jq . { "authntrxn_endpoint": "https://info.domain.tld/scim/Me?attributes=urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:isam:1.0:MMFA:Transaction:transactionsPending,urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:isam:1.0:MMFA:Transaction:attributesPending";, "metadata": { "service_name": "Organisation", "qrlogin_endpoint": "https://info.domain.tld/mga/sps/authsvc?PolicyId=urn:ibm:security:authentication:asf:qrcode_response"; [...] "enrollment_endpoint": "https://info.domain.tld/scim/Me";, [...] "version": "10.0.8.0", [...] } ## Details - Reuse of snapshot private keys The official Docker images have been retrieved and analyzed on a local machine: kali-docker# docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE ibmcom/verify-access-runtime 10.0.4.0 498e181d7395 3 months ago 1.07GB ibmcom/verify-access-wrp 10.0.4.0 c0003aca743c 3 months ago 442MB ibmcom/verify-access 10.0.4.0 206efdd7809c 3 months ago 1.53GB ibmcom/verify-access-dsc 10.0.4.0 959f6f1095e9 3 months ago 305MB kali-docker# docker save 498e181d7395 > ibmcom/verify-access-runtime.tar kali-docker# docker save c0003aca743c > ibmcom/verify-access-wrp.tar kali-docker# docker save 206efdd7809c > ibmcom/verify-access.tar kali-docker# docker save 959f6f1095e9 > ibmcom/verify-access-dsc.tar It was observed that instances contain custom encryption/decryption keys (`device_key.kdb` and `device_key.sth` files) located inside `/var/.ca/`.

These snapshots contain an `openldap.zip` file containing the OpenLDAP configuration, keytabs, passwords, SSL certificates and private keys. The encryption mechanism, based on hardcoded keys, is ineffective and provides a false assumption of security. ## Details - Local Privilege Escalation using OpenLDAP It was observed that the official IBM Docker image ibmcom/verify-access contains a Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability. The binary `slapd`, used to run OpenLDAP has incorrect permissions, allowing any user to run `slapd` as root. An attacker can run `slapd` as root and specify a malicious configuration file that will run code as root. Using a static analysis, the file system has been extracted and the `usr/sbin/slapd` program is `root:$group` and `4755`: kali-docker# docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE ibmcom/verify-access-runtime 10.0.4.0 498e181d7395 3 months ago 1.07GB ibmcom/verify-access-wrp 10.0.4.0 c0003aca743c 3 months ago 442MB ibmcom/verify-access 10.0.4.0 206efdd7809c 3 months ago 1.53GB ibmcom/verify-access-dsc 10.0.4.0 959f6f1095e9 3 months ago 305MB kali-docker# ls -la _verify-access.tar/5b72d1a82f5781ef06f5e70155709ab81a57f364644acfa66c0de53e025d4d6b/usr/sbin/slapd -rwsr-sr-x 1 root user 1916768 Jun 8 01:30 _verify-access.tar/5b72d1a82f5781ef06f5e70155709ab81a57f364644acfa66c0de53e025d4d6b/usr/sbin/slapd While checking on a live system, we can confirm the permissions `4755` (suid bit) are used in the verify-access instance.

Some additional LPEs may also exist in these programs. Trivial LPEs can be found everywhere in the mesa_* programs. An attacker can get Local Privilege Escalations as root inside instances based on the ibmcom/verify-access image. The code of `mesa_*` programs contains several trivial vulnerabilities due to the use of the `MesaSystem` function (and its derivatives) found in the `libwsmesa.so` library. This function is an insecure wrapper to the `execv()` function using the arguments `/bin/sh -c` and attacker-controlled values. The use of `/bin/sh -c` allows command injections.

This package contains several vulnerabilities that were patched in August 2022. At the time of the analysis (28 October 2022), these vulnerabilities were patched by Red Hat but the official IBM Docker images were still vulnerable.

This key file is stored using the `644` permissions allowing any local attacker to extract these keys when the Docker image starts. Furthermore, the password of the certificate file is hardcoded (to `health_check`, on line 101). When checking the files generated by this script, we can confirm the files are world-readable. For example, for the `/var/dsc/.health/port.txt` file, the permissions are 644: [isam@verify-access-dsc /]$ ls -la /var/dsc/.health/ total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 isam isam 4096 Oct 4 09:07 . drwxrwx--- 1 isam root 4096 Oct 4 09:07 .. -rw------- 1 isam isam 9268 Oct 4 09:07 health_check.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 isam isam 5 Oct 4 09:07 port.txt [isam@verify-access-dsc /]$ There is a race condition in the `/usr/sbin/bootstrap.sh` script allowing a local attacker with access to the verify-access-dsc instance to extract the private keys of the dsc server and the dsc client when the Docker image starts. The filename is predictable, allowing a local attacker to create the destination file before the script is executed. The content of the destination file will be overwritten by the `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh` script but the ownership of the file will still belong to an attacker, allowing extracting the private keys. The password is hardcoded. Insecure permissions are used for sensitive files. ## Details - Insecure health_check.sh script in verify-access (race condition and leak of private key) It was observed that the Docker image verify-access runs regularly the script `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh`. This script uses a temporary file to store sensitive information. Since this script uses the default umask (`022`), an attacker can exploit a race condition (between the lines 91 and 95) to extract the private keys of the dsc server and the dsc clients. The `/tmp/health_check.pem` output file will also be created containing the private keys in clear-text (in line 91), allowing an attacker to extract these private keys: Content of `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh`: [code:shell] [...] 65 cert_file=/tmp/health_check.pem 66 67 trap "rm -f $result_file $error_file $hdr_file" EXIT 68 69 # The following function will extract a key which can be used to authenticate 70 # to the DSC. 71 72 extract_dsc_key() 73 { 74 if [ ! -f $cert_file ] ; then 75 tmp_p12=/tmp/health_check.p12.$$ 76 tmp_pwd=health_check 77 78 # Work out the name of the DSC configuration file. 79 conf_file=`mesa_config wga.ftype dir dsc.conf -production` 80 81 # Work out the name of the key file which is being used. 82 key_file=`/opt/PolicyDirector/sbin/pdconf -f $conf_file getentry \ 83 dsess-server ssl-keyfile` 84 85 # Export the key into a key database type which is supported 86 # by OpenSSL. 87 gsk8capicmd_64 -cert -export -db $key_file -stashed \ 88 -target $tmp_p12 -target_pw $tmp_pwd 89 90 # Convert the key into something that curl understands. 91 openssl pkcs12 -in $tmp_p12 -out $cert_file -nodes \ 92 -passin pass:$tmp_pwd 2>/dev/null 93 94 # Tidy up. 95 rm -f $tmp_p12 96 fi 97 } [...] [/code] The file `/tmp/health_check.p12.$$` (`$$` corresponding to the local PID) will be generated with the password `health_check` and will contain the private keys of the dsc client and the dsc server. This file will be world-readable. Then the file will be erased. There is a race condition in the `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh` script allowing a local attacker with access to the verify-access instance to extract the private keys of the dsc server and the dsc client. The filename is predictable, allowing a local attacker to create potential destination files before the execution of the script. The content of the destination file will be overwritten by the `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh` script but the ownership of the file will still belong to an attacker, allowing extracting the private keys. There is also a leak of private keys in the world-readable file `/tmp/health_check.pem`. The password is hardcoded. Insecure permissions are used for sensitive files. ## Details - Local Privilege Escalation due to insecure health_check.sh script in verify-access (insecure SSL, insecure files) It was observed that the Docker image verify-access regularly runs the script `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh`. This script uses curl, without checking the remote SSL certificate: Content of `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh`: [code:shell] 190 # 191 # Make the curl request. 192 # 193 194 eval curl --insecure --output $result_file --silent --show-error \ 195 -D $hdr_file $extra_args https://127.0.0.1:$port 2> $error_file 196 [/code] The eval instruction does not seem exploitable. This script uses 2 temporary files to store the standard output (stdout) and the error output (stderr) of the curl command: an attacker can exploit these 2 temporary files to overwrite any file in the filesystem using pre-generated symbolic links inside `/tmp`: Content of `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh`: [code:shell] 62 result_file=/tmp/health_check.out.$$ 63 error_file=/tmp/health_check.err.$$ [...] 194 eval curl --insecure --output $result_file --silent --show-error \ 195 -D $hdr_file $extra_args https://127.0.0.1:$port 2> $error_file [/code] The `/tmp/health_check.out.$$` file (`$$` corresponding to the local PID) can be a symbolic link generated by a local attacker - the content of the linked file will be overwritten as root. The `/tmp/health_check.err.$$` file (`$$` corresponding to the local PID) can be a symbolic link generated by a local attacker - the content of the linked file will be overwritten as root. The script trusts any insecure HTTPS server, due to the use of the `--insecure` flag in curl. There are two uses of insecure files in the `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh` script allowing a local attacker with access to the verify-access instance to overwrite any file as root - it is possible to get a Local Privilege Escalation as root. The filenames are predictable, allowing a local attacker to create potential destination files before the execution of the script. The content of the destination files will be overwritten by the `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh` script. ## Details - Local Privilege Escalation due to insecure health_check.sh script in verify-access-dsc (insecure SSL, insecure file) It was observed that the Docker image verify-access-sc runs regularly the script `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh`. This script uses a temporary file to store errors: an attacker can exploit a race condition to overwrite any file in the filesystem using a pre-generated symbolic link. Furthermore, the script uses insecure options for curl on line 73 (`--insecure`) - the SSL certificate of the remote host will not be validated: Content of `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh`: [code:shell] 62 # 63 # Test access to the server as this will govern whether we are healthy or 64 # not. 65 # 66 67 error_file=/tmp/health_check.err.$$ 68 69 trap "rm -f $error_file" EXIT 70 71 ping_body='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/X MLSchema-instance"><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:ping xmlns:ns1="http://sms.am.tivoli.com";><ns1:something>0</ns1:something></ns1:ping></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>' 72 73 curl -s -o /dev/null --show-error --insecure --cert $cert_file -X POST \ 74 -H 'SOAPAction: "ping"' \ 75 --data "$ping_body" \ 76 https://127.0.0.1:$port 2> $error_file 77 78 if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then 79 # 80 # We don't know for sure yet whether the DSC is alive or not because it 81 # could be passive (only a single DSC is active in an environment at any 82 # one time). So, we also need to try a simple SSL connection before we 83 # return that the server is actually unhealthy. We could have simply 84 # avoided the initial curl call, but by only performing the SSL connection 85 # test when the DSC is passive we avoid SSL error messages being displayed 86 # on the console. 87 # 88 89 openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:$port 2>&1 | grep -q CONNECTED 90 91 if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then 92 exit 0 93 fi 94 95 echo "Error> failed to connect to the service." 96 97 cat $error_file; rm -f $cert_file [/code] The `/tmp/health_check.err.$$` file (`$$` corresponding to the local PID) can be a symbolic link that will be followed in the line 76. This allows an attacker to overwrite any file on the system because curl is executed as root. There is a race condition in the `/usr/sbin/health_check.sh` script allowing a local attacker to overwrite any file as root on the instance - it is possible to get a Local Privilege Escalation as root. The filename is predictable, allowing a local attacker to create potential destination files. The content of the destination file will be overwritten by the stderr file descriptor of the curl command. ## Details - Remote Code Execution due to insecure download of snapshot in verify-access-dsc, verify-access-runtime and verify-access-wrp It was observed that the Docker images verify-access-dsc ,verify-access-runtime and verify-access-wrp are able to download the snapshot file over HTTPS without checking the SSL certificate of the remote server, allowing an attacker to MITM the connection and retrieve the snapshot file or to provide a malicious snapshot file to the system. The `/usr/sbin/.bootstrap_common.sh` script is executed from the `/usr/sbin/bootstrap.sh` script when the instance starts: Content of `/usr/sbin/bootstrap.sh` in verify-access-dsc [code:shell] 139 # 140 # Wait for the snapshot file. 141 # 142 143 wait_for_snapshot [/code] In verify-access-runtime, the function `wait_for_snapshot()` is called on line 93 inside the `/usr/sbin/bootstrap.sh` script. The function `wait_for_snapshot()` calls the function `download_from_cfgsvc()` (line 251): Content of `/usr/sbin/.bootstrap_common.sh` in verify-access-dsc, verify-access-runtime and verify-access-wrp: [code:shell] 240 ############################################################################# 241 # Wait for the snapshot file. 242 243 wait_for_snapshot() 244 { 245 download_from_cfgsvc 1 246 247 if [ ! -f $snapshot ] ; then 248 Echo 969 249 250 while [ ! -f $snapshot ] ; do 251 download_from_cfgsvc 0 252 253 if [ ! -f $snapshot ] ; then 254 sleep 1 255 fi 256 done 257 258 Echo 970 259 fi 260 } [/code] And the function `download_from_cfgsvc()` uses curl to download a snapshot, without checking the SSL certificate of the remote server. The `-k` option (also known as `--insecure`) disables any SSL verification (line 154): Content `/usr/sbin/.bootstrap_common.sh` in verify-access-dsc, verify-access-runtime and verify-access-wrp: [code:shell] 140 download_from_cfgsvc() 141 { 142 # No need to download the snapshot if the configuration service has not 143 # been defined. 144 if [ -z "$CONFIG_SERVICE_URL" ] ; then 145 return 146 fi 147 148 if [ $1 -eq 1 ] ; then 149 Echo 960 150 fi 151 152 snapshotUri="`basename $snapshot`?type=File&client=`cat /etc/hostname`" 153 154 curl -k -s --fail -u "$CONFIG_SERVICE_USER_NAME:$CONFIG_SERVICE_USER_PWD" \ 155 "$CONFIG_SERVICE_URL/snapshots/$snapshotUri" \ 156 -o $snapshot 157 158 if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then 159 if [ $1 -eq 1 ] ; then 160 Echo 961 161 fi 162 163 rm -f $snapshot 164 else 165 Echo 962 166 fi 167 } [/code] - From the curl(1) man page: -k, --insecure (TLS) By default, every SSL connection curl makes is verified to be secure. This option allows curl to proceed and operate even for server connections otherwise considered insecure. The server connection is verified by making sure the server's certificate contains the right name and verifies successfully using the cert store. See this online resource for further details: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html See also --proxy-insecure and --cacert. The same issue exists with the function `download_fixpacks()` in the same shell script (line 201): Content of `/usr/sbin/.bootstrap_common.sh` in verify-access-dsc, verify-access-runtime and verify-access-wrp: [code:shell] 169 ############################################################################# 170 # Attempt to download any requested fixpacks from the configuration service. 171 172 download_fixpacks() 173 { 174 # No need to download the fixpacks if the configuration service has not 175 # been defined. 176 if [ -z "$CONFIG_SERVICE_URL" ] ; then 177 return 178 fi 179 180 # No need to download the fixpacks if no fixpack has been specified, or 181 # if the fixpack has been set to 'disabled'. 182 if [ -z "${FIXPACKS}" -o "${FIXPACKS}" = "disabled" ]; then 183 return 184 fi 185 186 # Set the fixpack directory, and then ensure that the fixpack directory 187 # has been created. 188 fixpack_dir=/tmp/fixpacks 189 190 if [ -d $fixpack_dir ] ; then 191 rm -rf $fixpack_dir/* 192 else 193 mkdir -p $fixpack_dir 194 fi 195 196 # If we get this far we know that one or more fixpacks have been specified. 197 # We need to download each of these now. 198 for fixpack in $FIXPACKS; do 199 fixpackUri="$fixpack?type=File&client=`cat /etc/hostname`" 200 201 curl -k -s --fail \ 202 -u "$CONFIG_SERVICE_USER_NAME:$CONFIG_SERVICE_USER_PWD" \ 203 "$CONFIG_SERVICE_URL/fixpacks/$fixpackUri" \ 204 -o $fixpack_dir/$fixpack [/code] The fixpacks will be then installed as root inside the image: Content of `/usr/sbin/.bootstrap_common.sh` in verify-access-dsc, verify-access-runtime and verify-access-wrp: [code:shell] 231 for fixpack in $FIXPACKS; do 232 Echo 967 "${fixpack}" 233 /usr/sbin/isva_install_fixpack -i ${fixpack_dir}/${fixpack} >/dev/null 234 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then 235 Echo 968 "${fixpack}" 236 fi [/code] An attacker located on the network can inject a malicious snapshot file into the platform or MITM the connection to a server containing the snapshot image and take control over the entire platform. ## Details - Lack of authentication in Postgres inside verify-access-runtime It was observed that the Docker image verify-access-runtime configures Postgres without authentication. The `/usr/sbin/bootstrap.sh` script configures and starts the postgres daemon. We can see the lack of authentication: [code:shell] 135 # 136 # Start the postgresql server. 137 # 138 139 Echo 974 140 141 db_root=/var/postgresql/config 142 db_data_root=$db_root/data 143 db_snapshot=$db_root/snapshot.sql 144 db_log_dir=/var/application.logs/db/config 145 db_port=5432 146 db_name=config 147 db_user=www-data 148 149 if [ ! -f $db_snapshot ] ; then 150 Echo 975 151 exit 1 152 fi 153 154 mkdir -p $db_log_dir 155 156 rm -rf $db_data_root 157 158 initdb -D $db_data_root --locale=C -U $db_user -A trust > /dev/null 159 160 pg_ctl -s -D $db_data_root -l $db_log_dir/logfile start 161 162 createdb -U $db_user -p $db_port -w $db_name > /dev/null 163 164 psql -U $db_user -p $db_port -f $db_snapshot -w -q $db_name > /dev/null 165 [/code] A local attacker can compromise the postgres database. ## Details - Null pointer dereference in dscd - Remote DoS against DSC instances It was observed that the DSC (Distributed Session Cache) servers can be remotely crashed, resulting in a DoS of the authentication infrastructure. The DSC servers are reachable using the `/DSess/services/DSess` API running on port 8443/tcp. Using an SSL client certificate, it is possible to reach the remote DSC instances from the same network segment: [user@container-01 ~]$ curl -kv https://dsc-02.test.lan:8443 * Rebuilt URL to: https://dsc-02.test.lan:8443/ * Trying 10.0.0.16... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to dsc-02.test.lan (10.0.0.16) port 8443 (#0) * ALPN, offering h2 * ALPN, offering http/1.1 * successfully set certificate verify locations: * CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt CApath: none * TLSv1.3 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello (1): * TLSv1.3 (IN), TLS handshake, Server hello (2): * TLSv1.2 (IN), TLS handshake, Certificate (11): * TLSv1.2 (IN), TLS handshake, Request CERT (13): * TLSv1.2 (IN), TLS handshake, Server finished (14): * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS handshake, Certificate (11): * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client key exchange (16): * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS change cipher, Change cipher spec (1): * TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS handshake, Finished (20): * TLSv1.2 (IN), TLS alert, handshake failure (552): * error:14094410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure * Closing connection 0 curl: (35) error:14094410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure With a client certificate, we can reach the `/DSess/services/DSess` API: Sending a normal request (ping): kali% curl --key dsc-client.key --cert dsc-client.pem --show-error --insecure https://dsc.test.lan:8443/DSess/services/DSess -X POST -H 'SOAPAction: "ping"' --data '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:ping xmlns:ns1="http://sms.am.tivoli.com";><ns1:something>0</ns1:something></ns1:ping></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>' <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:pingResponse xmlns:ns1="http://sms.am.tivoli.com";> <ns1:pingReturn>952467756</ns1:pingReturn> </ns1:pingResponse> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> We can also send a specific XML External Entity (XXE) that will crash the remote DSC instance: kali% curl --key dsc-client.key --cert dsc-client.pem --show-error --insecure https://dsc-02.test.lan:8443/DSess/services/DSess -X POST -H 'SOAPAction: "ping"' --data '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><!DOCTYPE foo [ <!ELEMENT foo ANY > <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///dev/random">]><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:ping xmlns:ns1="http://sms.am.tivoli.com";><ns1:something>&xxe;</ns1:something></ns1:ping></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>' curl: (52) Empty reply from server When debugging this issue, it appears there is a null pointer dereference in the method `DSessWrapper::ping(void*) ()` defined in `/lib64/libamdsc_interface.so` library: [root@container-02]# ps -auxww | grep dscd 6000 2093037 3.4 0.5 427936 40884 ?

An attacker with the dsc-client SSL certificate can exfiltrate any sensitive information from the instance. ## Details - Remote Code Execution due to insecure download of rpm and zip files in verify-access-dsc, verify-access-runtime and verify-access-wrp (/usr/sbin/install_isva.sh) It was observed that the Docker images verify-access-dsc ,verify-access-runtime and verify-access-wrp use insecure communications to download several rpm and zip files that will then be installed or decompressed as root. The `/usr/sbin/install_isva.sh` script contains insecure downloading of rpm files and zip files. These rpm files will then be installed as root. An attacker located on the network can inject malicious rpm or zip files into the authentication platform and take control over the entire authentication platform.

With the 2 previous vulnerabilities already explained in Additional repository configuration (potential supply-chain attack) and Remote Code Execution due to insecure download of rpm and zip files in verify-access-dsc, verify-access-runtime and verify-access-wrp (/usr/sbin/install_isva.sh), this version adds 2 new vulnerabilities: - - Installation of 3 packages downloaded over HTTP without checking the signature (lines 82, 84 and 90); and - - Replacement of `/usr/share/java/postgresql-jdbc/postgresql.jar` using a postgresql.jar file directly retrieved over HTTP (line 99) and with `-k` (aka `--insecure`). Content of `/usr/sbin/install_system.sh`: [code:shell] 73 # 74 # For the postgresql packages we need to download and install manually so 75 # that we don't also pull in all of the unnecessary dependencies. 76 # 77 78 centos_base=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/ 79 80 rpms=/tmp/rpms.txt 81 82 curl http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/ -o $rpms 83 84 for pkg in postgresql-12 postgresql-server-12 postgresql-jdbc-42; do 85 rpm_file=`grep $pkg $rpms | tail -n 1 | \ 86 sed 's|.*href="||g' | cut -f 1 -d '"'` 87 88 echo "Installing: $rpm_file" 89 90 rpm -i --nodeps $centos_base/$rpm_file 91 done 92 93 rm -f $rpms 94 95 # 96 # Need a more current jar then what is part of the postges-jdbc rpm 97 # 98 postgres_jar=`locate_file postgresql-.*.jar` 99 curl -kv ${WEBSERVER}/$postgres_jar -o /usr/share/java/postgresql-jdbc/postgresql.jar [/code] An attacker located on the network (local network or any Internet router located between the instance and the remote mirror.centos.org server) can inject malicious rpm or a malicious .jar file and take control over the entire platform. Note that IBM does not consider this vulnerability since the script is supposed to be executed in a secure network. ## Details - Remote Code Execution due to insecure reload script in verify-access-runtime It was observed that the Docker image verify-access-runtime uses a highly insecure reload script. An attacker located on the network can inject a malicious snapshot file into the platform or MITM the connection to a server containing the snapshot image and take control over the entire platform. This script is defined at the end of the `/usr/sbin/install_system.sh` script: Content of `/usr/sbin/install_system.sh` in verify-access-runtime: [code:shell] 239 # 240 # Ensure that the reload script is executable. 241 # 242 243 mv /sbin/reload.sh /sbin/runtime_reload 244 245 chmod 755 /sbin/runtime_reload [/code] Analysis of `/sbin/runtime_reload`: The function `download_from_cfgsvc()` is insecure as the curl command uses the `-k` option (as known as `--insecure`) to download and install a snapshot into the instance: any invalid SSL certificate for the remote server will be accepted because of the `-k` option. We can also see that Postgres does not have passwords in line 144, already found in [Lack of authentication in Postgres inside verify-access-runtime](#no-auth-postgres).

An attacker located on the network can inject a malicious snapshot file into the platform or MITM the connection to a server containing the snapshot image and take control over the entire platform. He can also overwrite any file present in the verify-access-wrp docker instance (getting a Remote Code Execution). This script is defined at the end of the `/usr/sbin/install_system.sh` script: Content of `/usr/sbin/install_system.sh` in verify-access-wrp: [code:shell] 210 # 211 # Ensure that the restart script is executable. 212 # 213 214 mv /sbin/restart.sh /sbin/wrprestart 215 216 chmod 755 /sbin/wrprestart [/code] Analysis of `/sbin/wrprestart`: The function `download_from_cfgsvc()` is insecure as the curl command uses the `-k` option (as known as `--insecure`) to download and install a snapshot into the instance: any invalid SSL certificate for the remote server will be accepted because of the `-k` option. The `openldap.zip` file found in the malicious snapshot file will then be decrypted using a previously found hardcoded key and extracted into the `/` directory (line 154 and 156) and openldap will be restarted with the new configuration file, allowing an attacker to get a Remote Code Execution by specifying a malicious `slapd.conf` file (stored inside `openldap.zip`, in `etc/openldap/slapd.conf`). Since the extraction of `openldap.zip` takes place in `/`, it is also possible to overwrite any file as root (and get Remote Code Execution, e.g. by replacing a program).

The Docker images contain known vulnerabilities. ## Details - Webseald using outdated code with remotely exploitable vulnerabilities It was observed that the webseald program borrows codes provided by open-source libraries containing outdated and vulnerable code. This program can be found inside these 2 images: - - verify-access - - verify-access-wrp Webseald is reachable over the network. Libraries used by webseald: kali-docker# ldd ./_verify-access.tar/5b72d1a82f5781ef06f5e70155709ab81a57f364644acfa66c0de53e025d4d6b/opt/pdweb/bin/webseald linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffe59f3000) libwsdaemon.so => not found libamwoauth.so => not found libamweb.so => not found libamwebrte.so => not found libpdsvcutl.so => not found libtivsec_msg.so => not found libpdz.so => not found libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f61885e8000) libtivsec_xslt4c.so.112 => not found libtivsec_xml4c.so => not found libtivsec_yamlcpp.so => not found libam_gssapi_krb5.so => not found libmodsecurity.so.3 => not found libamwredismgr.so => not found libhiredis.so.0.15 => not found libhiredis_ssl.so.0.15 => not found libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f61885df000) libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f6188200000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f6188504000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f61884e4000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f6187e00000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f6188604000) The IBM-specific libraries (*.so*) have been analyzed only in surface to detect low-hanging fruits, and several vulnerabilities were found, including some pre-auth vulnerabilities. Webseal is directly reachable from the network but uses the outdated and vulnerable code. The quality of the code is extremely inequal between the libraries - some code is very well implemented (with secure calls to -cpy functions) and some code is vulnerable (with insecure calls to -cpy functions). These libraries contain some legacy codes that are not up to date with the current security standards. Due to the lack of time, only a superficial analysis was done - an attacker with time will likely find 0-day vulnerabilities in these libraries. ### Libmodsecurity.so - 1 non-assigned CVE vulnerability The `/opt/pdweb/lib/libmodsecurity.so.3` library (b939c5db3ca94073188ea6eb360049f58f9e9d2a9c7d72bc052d9ee47cc5eccc) contains a vulnerable libinjection library. The version used is 3.9.2: [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] This version (3.9.2) is known to have several vulnerabilities. For example, a pre-authentication DoS (https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/issues/1412) from 2017 (no CVE). This version is confirmed to be vulnerable: https://github.com/client9/libinjection/issues/124. ### libtivsec_yamlcpp.so - 4 CVEs This IBM library is entirely based on yaml-cpp. Yaml-cpp is available at https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp. Several vulnerabilities have been patched in 2020 (CVE-2017-5950, CVE-2018-20573, CVE-2018-20574 and CVE-2019-6285) in the yaml-cpp library. This IBM-specific library is located at `/usr/lib64/libtivsec_yamlcpp.so` and `/opt/ibm/Tivoli/SecUtilities/lib/libtivsec_yamlcpp.so` (cf1b80c501a2f42948322567477c2956155e244d645e3962985569c4496ffad90). When doing reverse engineering on this file, it appears no security patches have been imported from the official yaml-cpp repository. We can identify several methods from the yaml-cpp library. For example, the method `SingleDocParser::HandleFlowMap()` found in `/usr/lib64/libtivsec_yamlcpp.so` and `/opt/ibm/Tivoli/SecUtilities/lib/libtivsec_yamlcpp.so`: [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] When analyzing the security patches available at https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/pull/807 and https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/pull/807/files/dbd5ac094622ef3b3951e71c31f59e02c930dc4b, there is no reference in the compiled code regarding a `DeepRecursion` class or any method implemented in the security patches. This `DeepRecursion` class is included in the now-patched versions. The IBM-specific library is using an outdated and vulnerable version of yaml-cpp, without security patches, e.g. 4 CVEs patched in yaml-cpp - https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/pull/807. Analysis of the security patches implementing new classes: [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] Furthermore, it is possible to analyze the rest of the security patches from the git repository and compare them with the assembly code from the `libtivsec_yamlcpp.so` library. This allows us to conclude the security patches have not been imported into the `libtivsec_yamlcpp.so` library. Source code providing security patches: Method `HandleNode()` from the security patches and the patched versions of yaml-cpp: [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] With the assembly code extracted from the `libtivsec_yamlcpp.so` library and rebuilt into pseudo-code, we can identify the same logic and the same instructions (minus some errors due to the reconstruction from assembly to C++) - with the lack of the patch located on the line 51. Pseudo-code of method `HandleNode()`: [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] This allows us to conclude that the `libtivsec_yamlcpp.so` library is vulnerable to these 4 CVEs. ### libtivsec_xml4c.so - outdated Xerces-C library This library (8b3d3d2dcb1152966d097e91e08fa1dc4300f3653f1c264eeecaf20bb1550832) is located in `/usr/lib64/libtivsec_xml4c.so` and `/opt/ibm/Tivoli/SecUtilities/lib/libtivsec_xml4c.so`) and uses outdated code from XML4C 5.5.0 that includes a version of Xerces-C (XML4C doesn't exist anymore and the latest release appears to be from 2007-2008). [please use the HTML version at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html] This version appears to be quite outdated and is likely vulnerable to known CVEs (https://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/secadv.html). ## Details - Outdated and untrusted CAs used in the Docker images It was observed that the Docker images will trust invalid Certificate Authorities (CA). Using the Paranoia program, we can list the invalid, expired and revoked CAs that are trusted inside the 4 Docker images. It appears that these 4 Docker images trust some invalid, revoked or untrusted CAs.

Some CAs have been revoked and cannot be trusted anymore. The presence of revoked and expired CAs also shows that the security of the Docker images is highly perfectible. ## Details - Lack of privilege separation in Docker instances It was observed that the Docker images do not implement privilege separation. Privilege separation is a software-based implementation of the principle of least privilege. Using dynamic analysis, the ibmcom/verify-access-wrp:10.0.4.0 Docker image, ibmcom/verify-access:10.0.4.0 Docker image, and the ibmcom/verify-access-runtime Docker image do not correctly implement privilege separation.

I said that I would agree to close this ticket if IBM could confirm that all vulnerabilities reported in the ticket had been correctly fixed in the latest version. I also asked IBM to provide the corresponding security bulletins. * Feb 27, 2024: Regarding the authentication bypass, IBM replied that the runtime was supposed to be in the intranet zone. * Feb 28, 2024: I asked IBM to clarify where in the documentation specified that the runtime should not be exposed. For example, in https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/10.0.7?topic=support-docker-image-verify-access-runtime, it was not explained that exposing this runtime on the network was a high security risk. * Mar 4, 2024: Regarding the vulnerabilities found in ibmsecurity, IBM said that any security vulnerability found in ibmsecurity must be reported by opening an issue in the Github repository. * Mar 8, 2024: IBM confirmed they were able to reproduce the authentication bypass vulnerability. * Mar 12, 2024: IBM confirmed they would add an optional MTLS authentication in the next release (10.0.8) and they would update the ISVA documentation to block any attempt of the authentication bypass vulnerability. * Mar 29, 2024: IBM published a new security bulletin: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7145400. * Mar 29, 2024: IBM confirmed that any security vulnerability found in ibmsecurity must be reported by opening an issue in the Github repository. * Apr 1, 2024: Creation of https://github.com/IBM-Security/ibmsecurity/issues/416. * Apr 2, 2024: IBM confirmed the reception of the report https://github.com/IBM-Security/ibmsecurity/issues/416#issuecomment-2032110397. * Apr 3, 2024: https://github.com/IBM-Security/ibmsecurity/issues/416 was entirely redacted by IBM. * Apr 5, 2024: I asked if the vulnerabilities would be patched in the #416 issue (https://github.com/IBM-Security/ibmsecurity/issues/416). * Apr 6, 2024: Issue #416 (https://github.com/IBM-Security/ibmsecurity/issues/416) closed. * Apr 6, 2024: I added again the content of https://github.com/IBM-Security/ibmsecurity/issues/416 and asked if CVEs would be published. * Apr 10, 2024: Security bulletin for ibm security published: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7147932. * Apr 10, 2024: I reached IBM regarding a new security bulletin, with a potential vulnerability I reported https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7145828. * Apr 10, 2024: IBM said this security bulletin was unrelated to the vulnerabilities I reported. * Apr 15, 2024: IBM confirmed that the final vulnerabilities would be fixed in ISVA 10.0.8. * Apr 15, 2024: I provided a list of unfixed vulnerabilities and asked for more information. * Apr 16, 2024: IBM confirmed that all the unfixed vulnerabilities would be fixed in ISVA 10.0.8 and asked to close the ticket. * Apr 16, 2024: I confirmed that this ticket can be closed only when the security patches are available. * Apr 16, 2024: IBM confirmed they wanted to close the ticket because nothing would be updated before mid-2024. * Apr 17, 2024: I replied that "It makes no sense to close this ticket until the vulnerabilities have been fixed. The fact that the vulnerabilities are fixed mid-year is a decision made by IBM. IBM was made aware of these vulnerabilities over a year ago, and yet we are still waiting for security patches. If this ticket is closed, I would consider that the vulnerabilities have been fixed and it is perfectly fine to publish the technical analysis." * May 6, 2024: IBM closed the existing ticket and opened new tickets for the remaining vulnerabilities. * May 6, 2024: I contacted IBM PSIRT asking if it was fine to publish the vulnerabilities since the ticket was closed by IBM. * May 7, 2024: I reopened the ticket stating that some of the patched vulnerabilities did not receive a CVE and there were also some unpatched vulnerabilities. I asked IBM to provide me with the CVE assigned to each vulnerability. I also asked IBM to confirm that, since this ticket had been closed by IBM, all the vulnerabilities had been fixed and that I would be able to publish the technical details. * May 8, 2024: IBM said they would review the list of vulnerabilities. * May 10, 2024: IBM PSIRT asked me not to publish technical details of unpatched vulnerabilities. * May 17, 2024: IBM provided me with an incomplete list of CVEs, with different vulnerabilities under the same CVE identifier and asked to close the ticket. * May 20, 2024: IBM asked for my comments on the list of CVEs. * May 20, 2024: I confirmed that several CVEs were missing and the list was incomplete. * May 21, 2024: IBM provided me with an explanation regarding the missing CVEs. * May 21, 2024: I asked IBM to quote their explanation in the security advisory. * May 21, 2024: IBM asked to have a meeting. * May 22, 2024: I replied that I would prefer written communication since it was very difficult to track the status of the vulnerabilities with (1) CVEs obtained only several months after the release of security bulletins, (2) tickets closed by IBM for unpatched vulnerabilities, (3) vulnerabilities in ibmsecurity which could be corrected by IBM and which could then no longer be managed by IBM, and (4) missing CVEs. * May 22, 2024: IBM asked to have a meeting to remove any confusion. * May 23, 2024: I replied that there's not much confusion except missing CVEs for silently patched vulnerabilities and lack of communication from IBM when releasing security patches. I asked IBM to share the CVEs with the corresponding vulnerabilities and indicate the security bulletins with the list of corresponding vulnerabilities. * May 24, 2024: IBM stated they would provide me with additional CVEs. * May 30, 2024: I confirmed that the creation of additional CVEs is fair. * Jun 2, 2024: IBM confirmed 3 new CVEs in a new security bulletin: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7155356. * Jun 3, 2024: I asked IBM the release date of the 10.0.8 version. * Jun 3, 2024: IBM confirmed that the exact date was not yet decided. * Jun 6, 2024: IBM asked if I had comments about the remaining vulnerabilities. * Jun 8, 2024: I asked IBM the status of a previously patched vulnerability. * Jun 10, 2024: IBM confirmed that this vulnerability had not been previously patched and would be patched in the 10.0.8 release. * Jun 11, 2024: IBM asked to create separate cases for the remaining vulnerabilities. * Jun 19, 2024: IBM asked if I needed assistance. * Jun 23, 2024: IBM confirmed that the 10.0.8 version was released and that they would close the ticket tracking the vulnerabilities. * Jun 26, 2024: I asked IBM to provide the corresponding CVEs and the link of the security bulletin. * Jun 27, 2024: IBM provided me with the link to the security bulletin: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7158790 and said that the 10.0.8 version was released with all the patched vulnerabilities. IBM closed the ticket. * Jul 3, 2024: I reopened the ticket and asked IBM to provide me with the list of vulnerabilities with the corresponding CVEs since I was not able to correctly map the CVEs to the vulnerabilities I reported. * Jul 8, 2024: IBM provided me with the list of CVEs. IBM closed the ticket. * Sep 7, 2024: I sent an email to IBM PSIRT stating that I was going to publish the security advisory and that some CVEs were still missing. I also stated that CVE-2023-38371 seemed to be an error since it was confirmed not to be a vulnerability according to our previous email exchanges. * Sep 9, 2024: I asked IBM to provide me with an official link regarding the runtime authentication bypass, to publish it in the security advisory. * Sep 13, 2024: IBM PSIRT provided me with (1) links regarding the runtime authentication bypass and (2) additional CVEs. They also confirmed that at least one vulnerability was not fixed and asked me not to disclose this finding until it was patched. No information was provided when this vulnerability would be patched. * Nov 1, 2024: A security advisory is published. ## Credits These vulnerabilities were found by Pierre Barre aka Pierre Kim (@PierreKimSec). ## References https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibm-security-verify-access-32-vulnerabilities.html https://pierrekim.github.io/advisories/2024-ibm-security-verify-access.txt https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-11-01-ibmsecurity-4-vulnerabilities.html https://pierrekim.github.io/advisories/2024-ibmsecurity.txt https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7106586 https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7145400 https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7155356 https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7158790 ## Disclaimer This advisory is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike 3.0 License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEoSgI9MSrzxDXWrmCxD4O2n2TLbwFAmckrf4ACgkQxD4O2n2T LbzphQ//dkcrCH8Q+yNrjdYoxvY/wXwc1JfgXxmLK7Ns3N5qFJVT70Uea6HjIoHz eJQurricioTP8jG48J2uzIt7l4G4Kgv0zP+aPN/KXjfYghu46N4G29458OgXTHVe ecOmouy/za1DG6qtST+sbicDhX5oku4VtdQ+NtDXaoLUAkADp/wJ3rLv5Fdw7gxQ VR0OMUTsy50Vv1bRN2R77ZAs/odAY67pQfTw8QpKLDDLBZveeAwBLgc66rQ+KZjq mPbLUULFlZp3+EYnR+XyZXu2nNGZDhTVMKAYCGzuqr3/boIz1BF7rifK07tL8+EE +NQQK3kzauWuQ/Sl5X20kfvdC91g7d/G93Me+Uz9iSfB9cyDfAdCLNf6fyYi/xjE qz6HNe2capSG7GBeCK6Q8ffb95kojjKrmyL2eKj2Yz5ZCWuDXa0L6pLwHZ9KSyjj 24kykmiHI4bCKBCXazBVYcdguk+6PCcenAGxLIpKdmTcMvaUUbN/c2jUenjV8/As +akcA48mNjuITE+Qei9kn7R5huTSCZffws9j4r0P86dst0ZkYfNSWgThatk2NRwC V8D2DOXdxpXThuOAMfN4b9ViLYTeHm2/JGvl0RLQNyNSv2rWeeEch6Z69NsS/Fq7 Y7L55juYeCFtkTrdYA+tkaUHlvX8uQC9GoKkcUOfYV6utGQ4fnU= =3Ax6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Pierre Kim pierre.kim.sec () gmail com @PierreKimSec https://pierrekim.github.io/ _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
