Control iD iDSecure passwordCustom Authentication Bypass

Critical

Synopsis

An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in Control iD iDSecure v4.7.32.0. The login routine used by iDS-Core.dll contains a "passwordCustom" option that allows an unauthenticated attacker to compute valid credentials that can be used to bypass authentication and act as an administrative user.

iDS-Core.dll!ControliD.iDSecure.Tools.ServerJWT.Login() allows login via "passwordCustom":
        public LoginResult Login(LoginRequest client)
        {
           [...]
                if (client.passwordCustom == null)
                {
              [...]
                }
                else
                {
                    if (!(client.passwordCustom == Operators.DesbloqueioGerenciador(ServerJWT.Serial, client.passwordRandom)))
                    {
                        throw new DALException(Localization.Translate("InvalidPassword"));
                    }
                    operators = DAL.LoadBy<Operators>("user", "admin");
                    if (operators == null)
                    {
                        Operators operators2 = new Operators();
                        operators2.user = "admin";
                        operators2.name = "Administrador";
                        operators2.newPassword = "admin";
                        operators2.idType = 1;
                        operators = operators2;
                        DAL.Save<Operators>(operators2, 0L, false, false);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        operators.newPassword = "admin";
                        operators.idType = 1;
                        DAL.Save<Operators>(operators, 0L, false, false);
                    }
              [...]

The passwordCustom value is computed from a user-supplied passwordRandom value and ServerJWT.Serial, which can be obtained by an unauthenticated remote attacker:

curl -sk '<https://<target-host>:30443/api/login/unlockGetData'>
{"passwordRandom":"redacted","serial":"redacted"}


With the disclosed ServerJWT.Serial value, the attacker can compute a correct passwordCustom value to authenticate to iDSecure as an administrative operator.

After successful login, a new operator with username 'admin' is created with the password set to 'admin'. If the 'admin' operator already exists the user password is reset to 'admin'.
