Accent Microcomputers LFI Module

What is the Accent Microcomputers LFI?

The Accent Microcomputers LFI module is a component of the Vidoc platform that specializes in detecting a local file inclusion vulnerability in Accent Microcomputers' software. This module targets microcomputers and is designed to identify misconfigurations or vulnerabilities that may pose a high risk to the security of the system.

This module has a severity level of high, indicating the potential impact it can have if a local file inclusion vulnerability is present in the Accent Microcomputers software.

Impact

A local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability can allow an attacker to read sensitive files on the server by exploiting a flaw in the application's file inclusion mechanism. If successfully exploited, this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to critical system files, sensitive information disclosure, and potential compromise of the entire system.

How the module works?

The Accent Microcomputers LFI module works by sending HTTP requests to the target system, specifically targeting the Accent Microcomputers software. It checks for the presence of a local file inclusion vulnerability by attempting to access sensitive files on the server.

For example, one of the HTTP requests sent by this module is:

GET /index.php?id=50&file=../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd

This request attempts to access the /etc/passwd file on the server, which is a common target for LFI attacks.

The module then applies matching conditions to determine if the vulnerability is present. In this case, it uses two matchers:

- A regex matcher that looks for the presence of the string root:[x*]:0:0 in the response. This indicates the presence of the root user in the /etc/passwd file. - A status matcher that checks if the HTTP response status is 200, indicating a successful request.

If both matchers evaluate to true, the module reports a vulnerability, indicating that a local file inclusion vulnerability has been detected in the Accent Microcomputers software.
