The new threat

Programmable embedded devices have the capability of being detected as a HID device , just like a keyboard or mouse. So if you have physical access and a minute alone you can basically own a system with something the size of your thumb. The possibilities are endless, HTTP/FTP download, injecting binaries into debug or Powershell etc.. Also this device is cross platform which means Windows,Linux,UNIX and Apple are all vulnerable. Here’s an example we made for a Windows7 box that adds a new Admin user to the system and hides that user from the logon screen. the whole process takes about 16 seconds , with most of the time taken by the device being detected as a keyboard and the driver installed. The device costs about $20 and can be found here

Seems Comcast has a hidden admin user account on their business class modems other than the usual user:cusadmin-pw:highspeed. You can log in locally using the username mso and password: D0nt4g3tme . Furthermore you can also use Cross Site Request Forgery in iframes to set the modem to open up its remote admin ports to all IP’s not just the ones Comcast has preconfigured. If you wanna test this out you can visit this URL http://illmob.org/comcast BEWARE, if you are on vulnerable Comcast modem it will open remote access to your modem on http port 80, https port 8181 and telnet 2323.

Props to the guys @ Trustwave for the iframe POC.
