Business recommendation:
------------------------
SEC Consult recommends to install the latest patch to fix the identified
vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the Cisco Prime Infrastructure should be
reachable only from trusted internal network and/or whitelisted IP addresses.
Since SEC Consult only performed a short security crash test on this product
it is highly recommended to perform a thorough security review as there are
indications for further vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
SEC Consult was able to identify some serious vulnerabilities with the
low privileged "monitor-only" user.
1) XML External Entity Injection (CVE-2017-6662)
The used XML parser is resolving external XML entities which allows attackers
to read files and send requests to systems on the internal network (e.g port
scanning).
The vulnerability can be exploited by a low privileged read-only user
to read sensitive information files with malicious XML code.
The hashed password of the local admin user can be accessed without
authorization.
2) SQL Injection (CVE-2017-6698)
The identified SQL injection vulnerability enables an authenticated attacker
with low privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
3) Cross site scripting (CVE-2017-6699, CVE-2017-6700)
Due to the lack of input validation, an attacker can insert malicious JavaScript
code to be executed under a victim's browser context.
4) Local File Disclosure (no CVE assigned)
Because of insufficient input validation, arbitrary local files can be
disclosed. Files that include passwords and other sensitive information can
be accessed.
Proof of concept:
-----------------
1) XML External Entity Injection (CVE-2017-6662)
Login with a low privileged user and navigate to Settings > Export >
select Format 'PDF' click 'Export'.
Make sure the 'Chart' option is selected, this chart uses XML to build SVG
images.

2) SQL Injection (CVE-2017-6698)
A low privileged user such as "monitor-only" user can read the admin's
password hashes via SQL injection.
