Source: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/collaboration-endpoints/unified-ip-phone-7800-series/data-sheet-c78-729488.html Business recommendation: ------------------------ SEC Consult recommends to update the devices to the newest firmware listed below, where, according to the vendor, the documented issue is fixed. We want to thank Cisco for the very professional response and great coordination. Vulnerability overview/description: ----------------------------------- 1) Cleartext Storage of Phone Password The phone is storing the "phone password", which is needed to access its administrative settings, in cleartext (in multiple locations) in the flash memory. Because the password is not hashed using a suitable cryptographic hash function and the storage is unencrypted, a physical attacker can easily recover the password and reuse it on other phones, if they are not configured to use unique administrative passwords. Proof of concept: ----------------- 1) Cleartext Storage of Phone Password Steps to take: - Configure a phone password via the TFTP XML provisioning feature. - Desoldering the memory and reading its content. - Analyzing the memory content. As example, the Linux command 'strings' can be used below to show the identified password in cleartext in the dumped data. ---------------------------------------- $ strings nand.dump | grep phonePassword phonePassword>sectest</,x phonePassword>sectest</,x phonePassword>sectest</,x phonePassword>sectest</,x ---------------------------------------- Vulnerable / tested versions: ----------------------------- The following firmware/device has been tested: * Cisco IP Phone 7821: Firmware version 12.8.1-0001-455 The vendor confirmed that the following devices are affected: * Cisco IP Phone 78x1 all releases before firmware version 14.1.1 * Cisco IP Phone 88x5 all releases before firmware version 14.1.1 * Cisco IP Phone 88x1 all releases before firmware version 14.1.1 * Cisco IP Phone 7832 all releases before firmware version 14.1.1 * Cisco IP Phone 8832 all releases before firmware version 14.1.1 * Cisco IP Phone 8821 all releases before firmware version 11.0(6)SR2 * Cisco IP Phone 3905 all releases before firmware version 9.4(1)SR5 Vendor contact timeline: ------------------------ 2021-05-19: Contacting vendor through psirt@cisco.com.
