Run this auxiliary against the listening port of an IBM MQ Queue Manager to identify its name and version. Any channel type can be used to get this information as long as the name of the channel is valid.

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.

Basic Usage


This module is a scanner module, and is capable of testing against multiple hosts.

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/misc/ibm_mq_enum
msf auxiliary(ibm_mq_enum) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(ibm_mq_enum) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(ibm_mq_enum) > exploit

Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:

Example 1:

msf auxiliary(ibm_mq_enum) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200 

Example 2:

msf auxiliary(ibm_mq_enum) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24

Example 3:

msf auxiliary(ibm_mq_enum) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt

Required Options


  • RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'

Knowledge Base


Vulnerable Application


  • IBM Downloads page: https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/mq-downloads/
  • Tested on IBM MQ 7.5, 8 and 9
  • Usage:
    • Download and install MQ Server
    • Create a new Queue Manager
    • Create a new channel (without SSL)
    • Run the module

Verification Steps


  1. Install IBM MQ Server 7.5, 8, or 9
  2. Start msfconsole
  3. Do: use auxiliary/scanner/misc/ibm_mq_enum
  4. Do: set channel <channel_name>
  5. Do: set rhosts <target_IP>
  6. Do: set rport <port>
  7. Do: run

Options


CHANNEL

This option should contain the name of a valid MQ channel. This can be obtained using the module auxiliary/scanner/misc/ibm_mq_channel_brute

Scenarios


This module can be used to obtain the Queue Manager name as well as the version of the MQ being used on the target host. When the Queue Manager name and a valid MQI channel name without SSL is known , the module auxiliary/scanner/misc/ibm_mq_login can be used to identify usernames that can authenticate to the Queue Manager.

msf auxiliary(scanner/misc/ibm_mq_enum) > run

[+] 10.1.1.144:           - 10.1.1.144:1414 - Queue Manager Name: TESTQM - MQ Version: 9.1.0.0
[*] Scanned 1 of 1 hosts (100% complete)
[*] Auxiliary module execution completed
