CVE-2017-9333

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

OpenWebif version 1.2.5 allows remote code execution via a URL to the CallOPKG function in the IpkgController class in plugin/controllers/ipkg.py. The issue occurs when the URL points to an attacker-controlled site, allowing for the introduction of a malicious package.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to remote code execution by unauthorized users who can trigger CallOPKG by entering a malicious URL. This poses a serious threat in products that bundle OpenWebif.

Recommendation

It is recommended to restrict access to the CallOPKG function to trusted users only and to validate input URLs to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

OpenWebif 1.2.5 allows remote code execution via a URL to the CallOPKG function in the IpkgController class in plugin/controllers/ipkg.py, when the URL refers to an attacker-controlled web site with a Trojan horse package. This has security implications in cases where untrusted users can trigger CallOPKG calls, and these users can enter an arbitrary URL in an input field, even though that input field was only intended for a package name. This threat model may be relevant in the latest versions of third-party products that bundle OpenWebif, i.e., set-top box products. The issue of Trojan horse packages does NOT have security implications in cases where the attacker has full OpenWebif access.
