Missing authorization in the JSON-RPC web services interface
of Extreme Networks Switch Engine (EXOS) allows an authenticated,
low-privileged (read-only) user to execute CLI show commands that are
restricted to that role through the command line interface. Successful
exploitation results in disclosure of sensitive information, including the
device configuration and the password hashes of local accounts. Configuration,
enable, and debug commands are not affected. Disclosed password hashes can be
attacked offline, and a weak password could lead to administrative access to
the device. This issue is fixed in Switch Engine 33.7.1-patch1-11,
33.1.100.133-patch1-9, and 32.7.4.15-patch1-11.

Fixes

Solution

Upgrade to Switch Engine 33.7.1-patch1-11, 33.1.100.133-patch1-9, or 32.7.4.15-patch1-11, or later.After upgrading, rotate local account passwords, especially administrative accounts.


Workaround

Restrict access to the device management interface to trusted networks and hosts. Disable the web services (JSON-RPC) interface where it is not required. Limit read-only accounts to users who require them, and enforce strong, unique passwords on all local accounts.
