FUXA Vulnerable to Pre-auth RCE via Path Manipulation & Configuration Injection
FUXA is a web-based Process Visualization (SCADA/HMI/Dashboard) software. Versions 1.2.11 until 1.3.1 allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to achieve Full Remote Code Execution (RCE) as root. The exploit succeeds even when the platform is configured in its most secure state (Secure Mode Enabled and Node-RED Secure Auth Enabled). Version 1.3.1 fixes the issue.
FUXA 1.2.8 and prior contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The vulnerability exists in the server/api/jwt-helper.js middleware, which improperly trusts the HTTP "Referer" header to validate internal requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can bypass JWT authentication by spoofing the Referer header to match the server's host. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to access the protected /api/runscript endpoint and execute arbitrary Node.js code on the server.
FUXA v1.2.7 contains a hard-coded credential vulnerability in server/api/jwt-helper.js. The application uses a hard-coded secret key to sign and verify JWT Tokens. This allows remote attackers to forge valid admin tokens and bypass authentication to gain full administrative access.
A remote command execution (RCE) vulnerability in the /api/runscript endpoint of FUXA 1.1.13 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted POST request.
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attack in FUXA 1.1.3 can be carried out leading to the obtaining of sensitive information from the server's internal environment and services, often potentially leading to the attacker executing commands on the server.
