Title
Security advisory: Pre-authentication RCE (default credentials + path traversal) in PulseNET Enterprise 6.0.3 (build 6975) (GE Vernova)
Summary
0day Rubbish Research Team is publicly disclosing a vulnerability in PulseNET Enterprise 6.0.3 (build 6975) (GE Vernova). The research is published and a proof-of-concept is available. Pre-authentication RCE (default credentials + path traversal) (CVSS 9.8, pre-authentication) GE Vernova PulseNET Enterprise 6.0.3 is the network-management software electric utilities use to monitor and manage the industrial wireless networks connecting substations and distribution automation. It ships with factory-default admin/admin credentials with no forced password change, and the resource-management console builds the target file path by raw string concatenation with no normalization. Because Tomcat runs as root with autoDeploy enabled, an attacker can upload a JSP file into a new web application directory and execute arbitrary commands as root. Dynamically verified with uid=0(root). Impact: Full compromise of the power-network management host as root. The attacker can read the host filesystem, execute arbitrary commands, and gain control of the system a utility relies on to manage communications with its grid. Advisory: https://0day-rubbish.com/blog/ge-pulsenet-resource-file-path-traversal-rce PoC and full analysis: https://github.com/Exploit-Garbage/0day-Rubbish Vendor has been notified. CVE ID is pending. -- 0day Rubbish Research Team https://0day-rubbish.com _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
