Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox Hard Coded Cryptographic Vulnerability
Gladinet · CentreStack and Triofox
Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox contain a hard-coded cryptographic flaw in their AES implementation, where fixed values are used in place of per-deployment secrets, affecting versions before 16.12.10420.56791. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to a publicly exposed endpoint can send a specially crafted request to perform arbitrary local file inclusion, and the weakened cryptography may also enable further exploitation, including chaining with earlier vulnerabilities to reach full system compromise.
Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox prior to version 16.12.10420.56791 used hardcoded values for their implementation of the AES cryptoscheme. This degrades security for public exposed endpoints that may make use of it and may offer arbitrary local file inclusion when provided a specially crafted request without authentication. This opens the door for future exploitation and can be leveraged with previous vulnerabilities to gain a full system compromise.
