CVE-2024-7066
📋 TL;DR
This critical vulnerability in F-logic DataCube3 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands via command injection in the ntp_server parameter of the /admin/config_time_sync.php endpoint. Attackers can exploit this to gain full control of affected systems. Organizations using F-logic DataCube3 1.0 are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- F-logic DataCube3
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise allowing attackers to install malware, steal sensitive data, pivot to other systems, and maintain persistent access.
Likely Case
Remote code execution leading to data theft, system disruption, or deployment of ransomware.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper network segmentation, web application firewalls, and input validation are in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details have been publicly disclosed, making weaponization likely. The vulnerability requires access to the admin interface.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None found
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Check with F-logic vendor for updates. Consider workarounds or replacement if vendor is unresponsive.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Block Vulnerable Endpoint
allUse web application firewall or reverse proxy to block access to /admin/config_time_sync.php
# Apache: RewriteRule ^/admin/config_time_sync\.php$ - [F,L]
# Nginx: location ~ /admin/config_time_sync\.php$ { deny all; }
Input Validation Filter
allImplement input validation to reject malicious characters in ntp_server parameter
# Example PHP validation: if (!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+$/', $_POST['ntp_server'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate affected systems in a segmented network with strict access controls
- Implement network-based intrusion detection to monitor for exploitation attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if DataCube3 version is 1.0 and /admin/config_time_sync.php endpoint exists and accepts ntp_server parameterCheck Version:
Check application documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test if command injection is possible by attempting to inject shell commands in ntp_server parameter📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual POST requests to /admin/config_time_sync.php with shell metacharacters in parameters
- Unexpected system command execution from web server process
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /admin/config_time_sync.php containing shell commands like ;, |, &, $(), or backticks
