McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Authenticated XXE Credential Exposure

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Authenticated XXE Credential Exposure
Posted Jan 6, 2015
Authored by Brandon Perry | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module will exploit an authenticated XXE vulnerability to read the keystore.properties off of the filesystem. This properties file contains an encrypted password that is set during installation. What is interesting about this password is that it is set as the same password as the database 'sa' user and of the admin user created during installation. This password is encrypted with a static key, and is encrypted using a weak cipher at that (ECB).

This module will exploit an authenticated XXE vulnerability to read the keystore.properties
off of the filesystem. This properties file contains an encrypted password that is set during
installation. What is interesting about this password is that it is set as the same password
as the database 'sa' user and of the admin user created during installation. This password
is encrypted with a static key, and is encrypted using a weak cipher at that (ECB). By default,
if installed with a local SQL Server instance, the SQL server is listening on all interfaces.

Recovering this password allows an attacker to potentially authenticate as the 'sa' SQL Server
user in order to achieve remote command execution with permissions of the database process. If
the administrator has no changed the password for the initially created account since installation,
the attacker also now has the password for this account. By default, 'admin' is recommended.

Any user account can be used to exploit this, all that is needed is a pair of credentials.

The most data that can be successfully retrieved is 255 characters due to length restrictions
on the field used to perform the XXE attack.
