The devices are vulnerable to session hijacking due to insufficient
entropy in its session ID generation algorithm. The session IDs are
predictable, with only 32,768 possible values per user, which allows
attackers to pre-generate valid session IDs, leading to unauthorized
access to user sessions. This is not only due to the use of an
(insecure) rand() function call but also because of missing
initialization via srand(). As a result only the PIDs are effectively
used as seed.
Rittal CMC PU III Web management Version affected: V3.11.00_2. Version fixed: V3.17.10 is affected by a remote code execution vulnerablity. It is possible to introduce shell code to create a reverse shell in the PU-Hostname field of the TCP/IP Configuration dialog. Web application fails to sanitize user input on Network TCP/IP configuration page. This allows the attacker to inject commands as root on the device which will be executed once the data is received.
Rittal CMC PU III Web management (version V3.11.00_2) fails to sanitize user input on several parameters of the configuration (User Configuration dialog, Task Configuration dialog and set logging filter dialog). This allows an attacker to backdoor the device with HTML and browser-interpreted content (such as JavaScript or other client-side scripts). The XSS payload will be triggered when the user accesses some specific sections of the application.
The Web application on Rittal CMC PU III 7030.000 V3.00 V3.11.00_2 to V3.15.70_4 devices fails to sanitize user input on the system configurations page. This allows an attacker to backdoor the device with HTML and browser-interpreted content (such as JavaScript or other client-side scripts) as the content is always displayed after and before login. Persistent XSS allows an attacker to modify displayed content or to change the victim's information. Successful exploitation requires access to the web management interface, either with valid credentials or a hijacked session.
