NitroSecurity ESM v8.4.0a Remote Code Execution
===============================================

-- Product description:
NitroView ESM is an enterprise-class security information and event
management system that identifies, correlates, and remediates threats
faster than any other SIEM on the market.
 
-- Problem Description:
During research it was found that perl module "ess.pm" is prone to
remote code execution vulnerability due to lack of user input
validation.
 
-- Research Environment:
The vulnerability was found and tested on ESM 8.4.0a (NitroSecurity
2.6.22.19-24nssmp64 GNU/Linux).
 
-- Requirements:
During the research "ESSPMDebug=1" option in
"/usr/local/ess/CPConsoleServer.cfg" was required. No authentication
in NitroSecurity ESM was required to successfuly conduct the attack.
 
-- Technical Details:
Because of the "system()" call in "ess.pm" module it's possible to
send specially crafted request to NitroSecurity ESM web interface,
which results in remote command execution. It's necessery to change
IFS (Internal Field Separator) to exploit this vulnerability. Probably
other methods also would work.
 
-- Proof Of Concept:
The following code was successfuly executed in testing environment
(remember to change x.x.x.x to your NitroSecurity ESM IP address for
testing purposes only):
