1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CVSS v3 9.8
ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low skill level to exploit
Vendor: Crestron
Equipment: TSW-X60 and MC3
Vulnerabilities: OS Command Injections, Improper Access Control,
Insufficiently Protected Credentials
2. RISK EVALUATION
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow remote code
execution with escalated system privileges.
3. TECHNICAL DETAILS
3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS
The following products and versions are affected:
TSW-X60, all versions prior to 2.001.0037.001; and
MC3, all versions prior to 1.502.0047.001
3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
3.2.1 OS COMMAND INJECTION CWE-78
This vulnerability may allow unauthenticated remote code execution via a Bash
shell service in Crestron Toolbox Protocol (CTP). This vulnerability only
affects TSW-X60 devices.
CVE-2018-11228 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score
of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
3.2.2 OS COMMAND INJECTION CWE-78
The vulnerability may allow unauthenticated remote code execution via command
injection in Crestron Toolbox Protocol (CTP). This vulnerability only affects
TSW-X60 devices.
CVE-2018-11229 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score
of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
3.2.3 IMPROPER ACCESS CONTROL CWE-284
The devices are shipped with authentication disabled, and there is no
indication to users that they need to take steps to enable it. When
compromised, the access to the CTP console is left open.
CVE-2018-10630 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score
of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
3.2.4 INSUFFICIENTLY PROTECTED CREDENTIALS CWE-522
The passwords for special sudo accounts may be calculated using information
accessible to those with regular user privileges. Attackers could decipher
these passwords, which may allow them to execute hidden API calls and escape
the CTP console sandbox environment with elevated privileges.
CVE-2018-13341 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score
of 8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

4. MITIGATIONS
Crestron recommends users upgrade their devices to the newest firmware located
at:
TSW-X60 (login required)
https://www.crestron.com/en-US/Software-Firmware/Firmware/Touchpanels/TSW-560-TSW-760-TSW-1060/2-001-0040-01
MC3 (login required)
https://www.crestron.com/en-US/Software-Firmware/Firmware/3-Series-Processors/MC3/1-502-0047-001
Crestron also recommends users refer to Crestrons Online Help for more
information about these and other vulnerabilities (Article #5471). Information
for hardening devices is available in Article #5571.
NCCIC recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of
exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and
ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.
Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and
isolate them from the business network.
When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be
updated to the most current version available. Also recognize that VPN is only
as secure as the connected devices.
NCCIC reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk
assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.
NCCIC also provides a section for control systems security recommended
practices on the ICS-CERT web page. Several recommended practices are
available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control
Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.
Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly
available on the ICS-CERT website in the Technical Information Paper,
ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation
Strategies.
Organizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their
established internal procedures and report their findings to NCCIC for
tracking and correlation against other incidents.
No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.
