List of CVEs: -

This module allows users to query an LDAP server using either a custom LDAP query, or a set of LDAP queries under a specific category. Users can also specify a JSON or YAML file containing custom queries to be executed using the RUN_QUERY_FILE action. If this action is specified, then QUERY_FILE_PATH must be a path to the location of this JSON/YAML file on disk. Users can also run a single query by using the RUN_SINGLE_QUERY option and then setting the QUERY_FILTER datastore option to the filter to send to the LDAP server and QUERY_ATTRIBUTES to a comma seperated string containing the list of attributes they are interested in obtaining from the results. As a third option can run one of several predefined queries by setting ACTION to the appropriate value. These options will be loaded from the ldap_queries_default.yaml file located in the MSF configuration directory, located by default at ~/.msf4/ldap_queries_default.yaml. All results will be returned to the user in table, CSV or JSON format, depending on the value of the OUTPUT_FORMAT datastore option. The characters || will be used as a delimiter should multiple items exist within a single column.

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.

Stability:

  • crash-safe: Module should not crash the service.

Side Effects:

  • ioc-in-logs: Module leaves signs of a compromise in a log file (Example: SQL injection data found in HTTP log).

Basic Usage

msf > use auxiliary/gather/ldap_query
msf auxiliary(ldap_query) > show targets
    ... a list of targets ...
msf auxiliary(ldap_query) > set TARGET target-id
msf auxiliary(ldap_query) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(ldap_query) > exploit

Required Options

  • RHOSTS: The target host(s), see https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Using-Metasploit

Knowledge Base

Vulnerable Application

This module allows users to query an LDAP server using either a custom LDAP query, or a set of LDAP queries under a specific category. Users can also specify a JSON or YAML file containing custom queries to be executed using the RUN_QUERY_FILE action. If this action is specified, then QUERY_FILE_PATH must be a path to the location of this JSON/YAML file on disk.

Users can also run a single query by using the RUN_SINGLE_QUERY option and then setting the QUERY_FILTER datastore option to the filter to send to the LDAP server and QUERY_ATTRIBUTES to a comma seperated string containing the list of attributes they are interested in obtaining from the results.

As a third option can run one of several predefined queries by setting ACTION to the appropriate value. These options will be loaded from the ldap_queries_default.yaml file located in the MSF configuration directory, located by default at ~/.msf4/ldap_queries_default.yaml.

Note that you can override the default query settings in this way by defining a query with an action name that is the same as one of existing actions in the file at data/auxiliary/gather/ldap_query/ldap_queries_default.yaml. This will however prevent any updates for that action that may be made to the data/auxiliary/gather/ldap_query/ldap_queries_default.yaml file, which may occur as part of Metasploit updates/upgrades, from being used though, so keep this in mind when using the ~/.msf4/ldap_queries_default.yaml file.

All results will be returned to the user in table, CSV or JSON format, depending on the value of the OUTPUT_FORMAT datastore option. The characters || will be used as a delimiter should multiple items exist within a single column.

Verification Steps

  1. Do: use auxiliary/gather/ldap_query
  2. Do: set ACTION <target action>
  3. Do: set RHOSTS <target IP(s)>
  4. Optional: set RPORT <target port> if target port is non-default. 5: Optional: set SSL true if the target port is SSL enabled. 6: Do: run

Options

OUTPUT_FORMAT

The output format to use. Can be either csv, table or json for CSV, Rex table output, or JSON output respectively.

BASE_DN

The LDAP base DN if already obtained. If not supplied, the module will automatically attempt to find the base DN for the target LDAP server.

QUERY_FILE_PATH

If the ACTION is set to RUN_QUERY_FILE, then this option is required and must be set to the full path to the JSON or YAML file containing the queries to be run.

The file format must follow the following convention:

queries:
  - action: THE ACTION NAME
    description: "THE ACTION DESCRIPTION"
    filter: "THE LDAP FILTER"
    attributes:
      - dn
      - displayName
      - name
      - description

Where queries is an array of queries to be run, each containing an action field containing the name of the action to be run, a description field describing the action, a filter field containing the filter to send to the LDAP server (aka what to search on), and the list of attributes that we are interested in from the results as an array.

QUERY_FILTER

Used only when the RUN_SINGLE_QUERY action is used. This should be set to the filter aka query that you want to send to the target LDAP server.

QUERY_ATTRIBUTES

Used only when the RUN_SINGLE_QUERY action is used. Should be a comma separated list of attributes to display from the full result set for each entry that was returned by the target LDAP server. Used to filter the results down to manageable sets of data.

RUN_QUERY_FILE with Table Output

Here is the sample query file we will be using:

$ cat test.yaml
---
queries:
  - action: ENUM_USERS
    description: "Enumerate users"
    filter: "(|(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountType=805306368)(objectClass=posixAccount))"
    columns:
      - dn
      - displayName
      - name
      - description
  - action: ENUM_ORGUNITS
    description: "Enumerate organizational units"
    filter: "(objectClass=organizationalUnit)"
    columns:
      - dn
      - displayName
      - name
      - description
  - action: ENUM_GROUPS
    description: "Enumerate groups"
    filter: "(|(objectClass=group)(objectClass=groupOfNames)(groupType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2147483648)(objectClass=posixGroup))"
    columns:
      - dn
      - name
      - groupType
      - memberof

Here is the results of using this file with the RUN_QUERY_FILE action which will run all queries within the file one after another.

Description:
  This module allows users to query an LDAP server using either a 
  custom LDAP query, or a set of LDAP queries under a specific 
  category. Users can also specify a JSON or YAML file containing 
  custom queries to be executed using the RUN_QUERY_FILE action. If 
  this action is specified, then QUERY_FILE_PATH must be a path to the 
  location of this JSON/YAML file on disk. Users can also run a single 
  query by using the RUN_SINGLE_QUERY option and then setting the 
  QUERY_FILTER datastore option to the filter to send to the LDAP 
  server and QUERY_ATTRIBUTES to a comma seperated string containing 
  the list of attributes they are interested in obtaining from the 
  results. As a third option can run one of several predefined queries 
  by setting ACTION to the appropriate value. These options will be 
  loaded from the ldap_queries_default.yaml file located in the MSF 
  configuration directory, located by default at 
  ~/.msf4/ldap_queries_default.yaml. All results will be returned to 
  the user in table, CSV or JSON format, depending on the value of the 
  OUTPUT_FORMAT datastore option. The characters || will be used as a 
  delimiter should multiple items exist within a single column.
