Axis Communication M1033-W IP Camera Remote Code Execution (CVE-2018-9157)

high Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 501940

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

An issue was discovered on AXIS M1033-W (IP camera) Firmware version 5.40.5.1 devices. The upload web page doesn't verify the file type, and an attacker can upload a webshell by making a fileUpload.shtml request for a custom .shtml file, which is interpreted by the Apache HTTP Server mod_include module with <!--#exec cmd= support. The file needs to include a specific string to meet the internal system architecture. After the webshell upload, an attacker can use the webshell to perform remote code execution such as running a system command (ls, ping, cat /etc/passwd, etc.). NOTE: the vendor reportedly indicates that this is an intended feature or functionality

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
