AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately audit and restrict file system permissions on the web document root directory (C:\F2MAdmin\F2E) to remove modify rights from non-administrative local users. Limit local user accounts on the appliance to only trusted personnel and enforce strong authentication controls. Monitor and log local user activities and HTTP requests to detect unauthorized script modifications or suspicious access patterns. If possible, isolate the appliance network segment to reduce exposure. Engage with AudioCodes support for any available patches or configuration updates addressing this issue. Until patches are available, consider disabling or restricting web server functionality if not essential. Conduct regular security assessments of telephony infrastructure and implement endpoint protection on devices with local access. Educate administrators and users on the risks of local privilege abuse and enforce strict access control policies. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups of appliance configurations to enable recovery in case of compromise.

Description

AudioCodes Fax Server and Auto-Attendant IVR appliances versions up to and including 2.6.23 configure the web document root at C:\\F2MAdmin\\F2E with overly permissive file system permissions. Authenticated local users have modify rights on this directory, while the associated web server process runs as NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM. As a result, any local user can create or alter server-side scripts within the webroot and then trigger them via HTTP requests, causing arbitrary code to execute with SYSTEM privileges.
