The vendor has not released a patch yet. Organizations are strongly advised to follow the steps in the mitigation section below. SonicWall customers are already protected with IPS signature 19786, released on March 18th.

Technical Overview:

An unauthenticated user can send an HTTP POST request to the “/wizard/wiz.wizard.progress.php” endpoint with the “build-js” query parameter.

             Figure 1: wiz.wizard.progress.php lines 10-16

During the “build-js” user input processing, it decodes the base64 value and sends it to the “unserialize” PHP function. This is depicted in Figure 2.

          Figure 2: wiz.wizard.progress.php buld.js function

 

This is the root cause of the vulnerability, as an unauthenticated attacker can control the base64 encoded input which is then directly deserialized.

Triggering the Vulnerability:

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to send an HTTP POST request to the Artica Proxy instance with the manipulated “build-js” parameter set to a base64-encoded payload. The public PoC code demonstrates this using the Linux “curl” command as shown in Figure 3.
