In the last few months, I have been testing several Trend Micro products with Steven Seeley ( @steventseeley ). Together, we have found more than 200+ RCE (Remote Code Execution) vulnerabilities and for the first time we presented the outcome of our research at Hack In The Box 2017 Amsterdam  in April. The presentation is available as a PDF or as a Slideshare . Since it was not possible to cover all discovered vulnerabilities with a single presentation, this blog post will cover and analyze a further vulnerability that did not make it to the slides, and which affects the Trend Micro Threat Discovery Appliance (TDA) product. CVE-2016-8584 - TDA Session Generation Authentication Bypass This was an interesting vulnerability, discovered after observing that two consecutive login attempts against the web interface returned the same session_id token. Following this observation, our inference was that time factor played a role. After further analysis and reversing of the TDA libra

It's time for another advisory ( CVE-2015-3326 ), a simple one, for a vulnerability which can be found quickly and trivially. For those of you who just want to give a glance at the post, I suggest to directly watch the picture which says it all! The following vulnerability was discovered on TrendMicro SMEX (ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange) 10 SP2 but it affects other versions as well. While surfing the SMEX web administrative interface using a web proxy, I have noticed something in the HTTP request - the session token itself and its format, a number. After observing a significant number of logins, the session token was always represented with an number composed of minimum 4 digits and maximum 5 digits, as shown in the screen shot below:   Although the observed session tokens were never generated sequentially, the lack of a cryptographically strong PRNG for the session identifier, allows a malicious user to trivially guess the token. This attack can be easily automated.
