## # This module requires Metasploit: https://metasploit.com/download # Current source: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework ## class MetasploitModule < Msf::Exploit::Remote Rank = ExcellentRanking include Msf::Exploit::Remote::HttpClient include Msf::Exploit::FileDropper include Msf::Exploit::Remote::AutoCheck def initialize(info = {}) super( update_info( info, 'Name' => 'Agent Tesla Panel Remote Code Execution', 'Description' => %q{ This module exploits a command injection vulnerability within the Agent Tesla control panel, in combination with an SQL injection vulnerability and a PHP object injection vulnerabilty, to gain remote code execution on affected hosts. Panel versions released prior to Sepetember 12, 2018 can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to gain remote code execution as user running the web server. Agent Tesla panels released on or after this date can still be exploited however, provided that attackers have valid credentials for the Agent Tesla control panel. Note that this module presently only fully supports Windows hosts running Agent Tesla on the WAMP stack. Support for Linux may be added in a future update, but could not be confirmed during testing. }, 'Author' => [ 'Ege Balcı <ege.balci@invictuseurope.com>', # discovery and independent module 'mekhalleh (RAMELLA Sébastien)', # Added windows targeting and authenticated RCE 'gwillcox-r7' # Multiple edits to finish porting the exploit over to Metasploit ], 'References' => [ ['EDB', '47256'], # Original PoC and Metasploit module ['URL', 'https://github.com/mekhalleh/agent_tesla_panel_rce/tree/master/resources'], # Agent-Tesla WebPanel's available for download ['URL', 'https://www.pirates.re/agent-tesla-remote-command-execution-(fighting-the-webpanel)'], # Writeup in French on this module and its surrounding research.
