Thecus NAS Server N8800 contains multiple vulnerabilities

Overview

Thecus NAS server N8800 with firmware version 5.03.01, and possibly earlier versions, contains multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The 7 Elements advisory states that the Thecus NAS server N8800 device contains the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2013-5667 - Thecus NAS Server N8800 Firmware 5.03.01 get_userid OS Command Injection
The application accepts user input through the get_userid parameter that can be used to create OS commands that are redirected to the operating system. An attacker can use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands.

CVE-2013-5668 - Thecus NAS Server N8800 Firmware 5.03.01
The Domain Administrator Password within the ADS/NT Support page is disclosed due to clear text storage of sensitive information within the GUI. Any user who has access to this page is able to retrieve the ADS/NT administrator ID and password. This could enable an attacker to gain access to the domain hosting the storage server.

CVE-2013-5669 - Thecus NAS Server N8800 Firmware 5.03.01 plain text administrative password
The Administration Web Page transmits passwords in cleartext, which allows remote attackers to sniff the administrative password.
