Dragon-Fire IDS Vulnerability

The Dragon-Fire IDS is a network intrusion detection system used to monitor and alert on potential security threats. However, this vulnerability allows remote users to execute commands via shell metacharacters, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the system.

You're affected if you use Dragon-Fire IDS version 1.0.2 or earlier. To check for the presence of the vulnerable script, run the command find / -name "dfire.cgi" 2>/dev/null.

Note: This is a niche software, and if you don't recognize the name, you're probably not affected.

Version info: Not specified in the advisory.

To fix this vulnerability, upgrade to Dragon-Fire IDS version 1.0.3 or later. Alternatively, immediately mitigate by:

• Restricting network access to your Dragon-Fire IDS instance (firewall it from the public internet)
• Auditing admin account activity for suspicious access patterns
• Monitoring for unauthorized token creation
