Details

Sierra Wireless is a wireless communications equipement designer and manufacturer. They provide both embedded solutions as well as wireless hardware solutions, including both the ES450 and GX450 devices. The AirLink ES450 is a LTE gateway designed for distributed enterprise. The ES450 is typically seen connecting Point-of-sale devices, remote SCADA equipment, or other business critical equipment. The AirLink ES450 also provides a terminal server for remote out-of-band administration.

ACEManager is the web server included with the AirLink ES450. This web server is responsible for the majority of interactions in the device. Some specific capabilities of the web server are routing, device reconfiguration, user authentication and certificate management. The vendor has stated that the ACEManager web application is not accessible by default from the Cellular WAN.

The /cgi-bin/template_load.cgi binary is responsible for loading the previously uploaded template file to be used for configuration of the device. If we bypass the upload stage of the process and utilize template_load.cgi directly we can disclosure internal paths on the device with directory traversal within the path parameter. The requests below show a file that does not exist, as well as a file that does exist. The error messages disclose the information we need to determine if a file exists at the provided path or not.
