TYPO3 Winstaller Default Encryption Keys - Metasploit
This page contains detailed information about how to use the auxiliary/admin/http/typo3_winstaller_default_enc_keys metasploit module. For list of all metasploit modules, visit the Metasploit Module Library.
Module Overview
Name: TYPO3 Winstaller Default Encryption Keys
Module: auxiliary/admin/http/typo3_winstaller_default_enc_keys
Source code: modules/auxiliary/admin/http/typo3_winstaller_default_enc_keys.rb
Disclosure date: -
Last modification time: 2017-07-24 06:26:21 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): -
Target service / protocol: http, https
Target network port(s): 80, 443, 3000, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8443, 8503, 8880, 8888
List of CVEs: -
This module exploits known default encryption keys found in the TYPO3 Winstaller. This flaw allows for file disclosure in the jumpUrl mechanism. This issue can be used to read any file that the web server user account has access to view. The method used to create the juhash (short MD5 hash) was altered in later versions of Typo3. Use the show actions command to display and select the version of TYPO3 in use (defaults to the older method of juhash creation).
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.
