Gladinet CentreStack/Triofox ASP.NET ViewState Deserialization

Description

A vulnerability in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox application using hardcoded cryptographic keys for ViewState could allow an attacker to forge ViewState data. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as remote code execution. Both applications make use of a hardcoded machineKey in the IIS web.config file, which is responsible for securing ASP.NET ViewState data. If an attacker obtains the machineKey, they can forge ViewState payloads that pass integrity checks. This can result in ViewState deserialization attacks, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE) on the web server. Gladinet CentreStack versions up to 16.4.10315.56368 are vulnerable (fixed in 16.4.10315.56368). Gladinet Triofox versions up to 16.4.10317.56372 are vulnerable (fixed in 16.4.10317.56372). NOTE: There are other rebranded services that might be vulnerable and can be detected by this module.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
