Summary
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in an attacker bypassing authentication and gaining administrator privileges, forging JWT tokens to bypass authentication, writing arbitrary files to the server and acheiving code execution, gaining access to services with the privileges of a Powerpanel Business application, gaining access to the testing or production server, learning passwords and authenticating with user or administrator privileges, injecting SQL syntax, writing arbitrary files to the system, executing remote code, impersonating any client in the system and sending malicious data, or obtaining data from throughout the system after gaining access to any device.
Vulnerabilities 9
-
Critical 9.8
CyberPower PowerPanel business Active Debug Code
Hard-coded credentials for the CyberPower PowerPanel test server can be found in the production code. This might result in an attacker gaining access to the testing or production server.
-
Critical 9.8
CyberPower PowerPanel business Use of Hard-coded Credentials
Hard-coded credentials are used by the CyberPower PowerPanel platform to authenticate to the database, other services, and the cloud. This could result in an attacker gaining access to services with the privileges of a Powerpanel business application.
-
Critical 9.8
CyberPower PowerPanel business Use of Hard-coded Password
CyberPower PowerPanel business application code contains a hard-coded JWT signing key. This could result in an attacker forging JWT tokens to bypass authentication.
-
Critical 9.8
CyberPower PowerPanel business Use of Hard-coded Password
CyberPower PowerPanel business application code contains a hard-coded set of authentication credentials. This could result in an attacker bypassing authentication and gaining administrator privileges.
-
High 8.8
CyberPower PowerPanel business SQL Injection
An attacker with certain MQTT permissions can create malicious messages to all CyberPower PowerPanel devices. This could result in an attacker injecting SQL syntax, writing arbitrary files to the system, and executing remote code.
-
High 8.8
CyberPower PowerPanel business Relative Path Traversal
A specially crafted Zip file containing path traversal characters can be imported to the CyberPower PowerPanel server, which allows file writing to the server outside the intended scope, and could allow an attacker to achieve remote code execution.
-
High 7.7
CyberPower PowerPanel business Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key
The devices which CyberPower PowerPanel manages use identical certificates based on a hard-coded cryptographic key. This can allow an attacker to impersonate any client in the system and send malicious data.
-
Medium 6.5
CyberPower PowerPanel business Incorrect Authorization
Certain MQTT wildcards are not blocked on the CyberPower PowerPanel system, which might result in an attacker obtaining data from throughout the system after gaining access to any device.
-
Medium 4.9
CyberPower PowerPanel business Storing Passwords in a Recoverable Format
The key used to encrypt passwords stored in the database can be found in the CyberPower PowerPanel application code, allowing the passwords to be recovered.
