Summary
Array Networks vAPV (version 8.3.2.17) and vxAG (version 9.2.0.34) appliances are affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability caused by a combination of hardcoded SSH credentials (or SSH private key) and insecure permissions on a startup script. The devices ship with a default SSH login or a hardcoded DSA private key, allowing an attacker to authenticate remotely with limited privileges.
Once authenticated, an attacker can overwrite the world-writable /ca/bin/monitor.sh script with arbitrary commands. Since this script is executed with elevated privileges through the backend binary, enabling the debug monitor via backend -c "debug monitor on" triggers execution of the attacker's payload as root. This allows full system compromise.

"value": "Los dispositivos vAPV (versi\u00f3n 8.3.2.17) y vxAG (versi\u00f3n 9.2.0.34) de Array Networks se ven afectados por una vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios causada por una combinaci\u00f3n de credenciales SSH (o clave privada SSH) codificadas y permisos inseguros en un script de inicio. Los dispositivos se entregan con un inicio de sesi\u00f3n SSH predeterminado o una clave privada DSA codificada, lo que permite a un atacante autenticarse remotamente con privilegios limitados. Una vez autenticado, un atacante puede sobrescribir el script /ca/bin/monitor.sh, con permisos de escritura universal, con comandos arbitrarios. Dado que este script se ejecuta con privilegios elevados a trav\u00e9s del binario del backend, al habilitar el monitor de depuraci\u00f3n mediante backend -c \"debug monitor on\", se activa la ejecuci\u00f3n del payload del atacante como root. Esto permite una vulnerabilidad completa del sistema."
