CVE-2018-1243: iDRAC6/iDRAC7/iDRAC8 - Weak CGI session ID vulnerability

Dell EMC iDRAC6, versions prior to 2.91, iDRAC7/iDRAC8, versions prior to 2.60.60.60 and iDRAC9, versions prior to 3.21.21.21, contain a weak CGI session ID vulnerability. The sessions invoked via CGI binaries use 96-bit numeric-only session ID values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to perform bruteforce session guessing attacks.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Some Dell EMC iDRAC management interfaces generated CGI session IDs with only numeric 96-bit values. That weakened session unpredictability and made remote session-guessing attacks easier. Compromise could affect server management functions, so exposed or broadly reachable iDRAC interfaces deserve prompt firmware review. Exposure is most likely on Dell EMC servers using affected iDRAC firmware where the iDRAC web or CGI interface is reachable from untrusted networks, broad internal networks, or shared administrative segments. Prioritize exposed management controllers first. iDRAC can control physical server operations, so successful session compromise may create business-impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability risk even though exploitation is not confirmed in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade iDRAC6 to version 2.91 or later.; Upgrade iDRAC7/iDRAC8 to version 2.60.60.60 or later.; For iDRAC9 systems, verify version 3.21.21.21 or later where applicable..
