[CVE-2013-2638] CTERA C200 – Access to ConfigurationTab as users

 | #CVE#vulnerability

Some CTERA cloud attached storage are vulnerable to Direct Object References permitting some information disclosure to authenticated user (with no administration permission). For example a user can obtain the full list of users with their emails etc.

CTERA R&D had solved this issue into 3.2.47 firmware release. So this issue must affect just version prior 3.2.47.

It’s not a critical vulnerability because usually this appliances are used into a company and or/corporate environment so the user info are often available to all. If this appliances were used to provide services to external users this can be a risky vulnerability.

Steps for reproduce the issue:

  1. Login into appliances with standard user

CTERA Login Page

  1. After loggedin. Change the URL parameter to ConfigTab

CTERA Access

  1. As you can see the standard user can access to configuration interface of appliance.

Direct Object References
