Overview:

FAMOC is a mobile device management software by FancyFon supporting
different kinds of mobile devices.

The vendor FancyFon describes the product as follows (see [1]):

"FAMOC is a flexible and open mobile device lifecycle management 
solution, enabling any number of smartphones using a variety of 
operating  systems, to be centrally and remotely managed, over the 
Internet."

Vulnerability Details:

The SySS GmbH found out that user passwords are stored as raw, unsalted
MD5 hash values in the table tb_user of the database of the FAMOC mobile
device management software.

The use of a cryptographic one-way hash function MD5 without using a
salt for storing sensitive data like user passwords allows an attacker
with access to this data to perform efficient password guessing attacks
using pre-computed dictionaries, for instance rainbow tables.


Proof of Concept (PoC):

By having access to the database of the FAMOC mobile device management 
software, for example by exploiting an SQL injection vulnerability, an 
attacker can extract hashed user passwords from the table tb_user, as
the following sqlmap output illustrates:

sql-shell> select pass from tb_user where login='syss'
[10:25:57] [INFO] fetching SQL SELECT statement query output: 'select pass from tb_user where login='syss''
[10:25:57] [INFO] retrieved: 1
[10:26:01] [INFO] retrieving the length of query output
[10:26:01] [INFO] retrieved: 32
[10:26:50] [INFO] retrieved: 3c7bdf8ab364c1ef5c951d1cc5d7239d             
select pass from tb_user where login='syss' [1]:
[*] 3c7bdf8ab364c1ef5c951d1cc5d7239d


The stored user passwords are raw MD5 hashes, as the following output
for the sample password "syss" shows:

$ echo -n "syss" | md5sum
3c7bdf8ab364c1ef5c951d1cc5d7239d  -

Solution:

Update to FAMOC software version 3.17.4.
