An improper ownership management vulnerability has been identified in Moxa’s Secure Router. Because of improper ownership management, a low-privileged authenticated user may access a configuration file containing the hashed password of the administrative account. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information. Exploitation is only possible under a specific condition — when the configuration file has been exported. This vulnerability does not impact the integrity or availability of the affected product, and no confidentiality, integrity, or availability impact to the subsequent system has been identified.
The product assigns the wrong ownership, or does not properly verify the ownership, of an object or resource.
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/282.html →Open in CWE collection →An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an adversary to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an adversary to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/17.html →Open in CAPEC collection →An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files. When the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high.
