Common Weakness Enumeration: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
This vulnerability is being tracked by BUG2043622

Description

VeloCloud Orchestrator (VCO) on-prem has a security issue where this issue may allow a remote attacker to access privileged internal functionality and impact the VCO host. Successful exploitation may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the orchestrator and data managed by the orchestrator.

On an affected system, any authenticated user can gain operator privileges and masquerade as a local “superuser operator” user. This includes access to functionality that is intended for internal use only and which is not intended to be remotely accessible.

Hosted, including Dedicated, versions of VCO were impacted and have already been patched.

This issue was detected by Arista and is known to be actively exploited.

Required Configuration for Exploitation

VCO is exposed by default. A successful attack requires network access to the VCO web interface and a valid authenticated session on the VCO portal. The minimum user role required is Enterprise Read Only, the lowest built-in tenant role. There is no configuration that can prevent the exposure.

Indicators of Compromise

Operators should review VCO web access logs for unexpected activity. Requests containing unusual URL-like path components, encoded characters, references to local or internal services, or high request rates should be investigated.

The following IP addresses have been observed conducting the attacks. It is advised to block these IPs and review logs to see if they are present:
 
  • 74.82.197.86
  • 38.54.50.151

If compromise is suspected, operators should preserve VCO web access logs, backend application logs, system logs, database logs, and relevant file-system timestamps before remediation where operationally feasible.

Mitigation

The recommended resolution is to upgrade to a fixed VCO release as soon as it is available. For VCOs which are not on a supported release train, customers can contact TAC to discuss possible upgrade options for your release.

Until the fixed software is deployed, operators should apply defense-in-depth controls appropriate for their environment:
 
  • Restrict access to the VCO web interface to trusted administrative networks.
  • Monitor the VCO for accesses from known malicious source IPs.
  • Monitor for unexpected outbound network activity from the VCO host.
  • Consider blocking outbound ports not needed for normal activities.
  • Monitor for backdoor daemons and webshells.
  • Review recent administrator activity for unexpected changes.

Resolution

The recommended resolution is to upgrade to a fixed VCO release at your earliest convenience.

These vulnerabilities have been fixed in the following releases:
 
  • VCO 5.2.3.18 and later in the 5.2 train
  • VCO 6.1.3.10 and later in the 6.1 train
  • VCO 6.4.2.12 and later in the 6.4 train
