CVE-2024-27130 in QNAP: When 'Secure' is Just a Marketing Term
The article "QNAP QTS - QNAPping At The Wheel (CVE-2024-27130 and friends)" from WatchTowr Labs provides a detailed analysis of several vulnerabilities found in QNAP NAS devices.
CVE-2024-27130. Stack Buffer Overflow in share.cgi: The vulnerability arises from the unsafe use of the strcpy function in the No_Support_ACL function, which is accessible via the get_file_size function in share.cgi. This leads to a stack buffer overflow, which can be exploited to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE).
Attack Scenario:
📌Step 1: Initial Access: An attacker needs a valid NAS user account to exploit this vulnerability. This could be achieved through phishing, credential stuffing, or exploiting another vulnerability to gain initial access.
📌Step 2: File Sharing: The attacker shares a file with an untrusted user. This action triggers the get_file_size function in share.cgi.
📌Step 3: Exploitation: The get_file_size function calls No_Support_ACL, which uses strcpy unsafely, leading to a stack buffer overflow. The attacker crafts a payload that overflows the buffer and injects malicious code.
📌Step 4: Remote Code Execution: The overflowed buffer allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the NAS device, potentially gaining full control over the system.
