Title: Sielco PolyEco Digital FM Transmitter 2.0.6 Authentication Bypass Exploit
Advisory ID: ZSL-2023-5769
Type: Local/Remote
Impact: Privilege Escalation, Security Bypass, System Access
Risk: (5/5)
Release Date: 10.04.2023
Summary
PolyEco is the innovative family of high-end digitalFM transmitters of Sielco. They are especially suited as highperformance power system exciters or compact low-mid powertransmitters. The same cabinet may in fact be fitted with 50,100, 300, 500, 1000W power stage (PolyEco50, 100, 300, 500,1000).
All features can be controlled via the large touch-screen display4.3\” or remotely. Many advanced features are inside by defaultin the basic version such as: stereo and RDS encoder, audiochange-over, remote-control via LAN and SNMP, \”FFT\” spectralanalysis of the audio sources, SFN synchronization and much more.
Description
The application suffers from an authentication bypass andaccount takeover/lockout vulnerability that can be triggered bydirectly calling the users object and effectively modifying thepassword of the two constants user/role (user/admin). This canbe exploited by an unauthenticated adversary by issuing a singlePOST request to the vulnerable endpoint and gain unauthorizedaccess to the affected device with administrative privileges.
