List of CVEs: CVE-2022-41622, CVE-2022-41800
This module exploits a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in F5 Big-IP's iControl interface to write an arbitrary file to the filesystem. While any file can be written to any location as root, the exploitability is limited by SELinux; the vast majority of writable locations are unavailable. By default, we write to a script that executes at reboot, which means the payload will execute the next time the server boots. An alternate target - Login - will add a backdoor that executes next time a user logs in interactively. This overwrites a file, but we restore it when we get a session Note that because this is a CSRF vulnerability, it starts a web server, but an authenticated administrator must visit the site, which redirects them to the target.
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
msf > use exploit/linux/http/f5_icontrol_soap_csrf_rce_cve_2022_41622
msf exploit(f5_icontrol_soap_csrf_rce_cve_2022_41622) > exploit
Required Options
- TARGET_HOST: The IP or domain name of the target F5 device
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
This is a CSRF vuln, so it requires a browser in addition to msf:
- Install the application
- Start
msfconsole - Do:
use exploit/linux/http/f5_icontrol_soap_csrf_rce_cve_2022_41622 - Do
set TARGET_HOST <target>/set LHOST <yourtest> - Do:
run - You should get a url such as:
http://10.0.0.179:8080/ddgjZO - Open a browser and visit that URL
- If you don't already have an HTTP Basic session, it'll ask for your credentials (the
adminaccount from earlier works great)
Options
TARGET_HOST / TARGET_URI / TARGET_SSL
These are the target that the user will be redirected to
FILENAME
If the TARGET is 2 (Custom), the file that will be overwritten with the payload

Then, a legit user that has HTTP Basic authentication (or who can be tricked into performing HTTP Basic authentication) needs to visit that URL. When any user connects, they'll be redirected to the SOAP endpoint and you'll see:

[*] Redirecting the admin to overwrite /shared/f5_update_action; if successful, your session will come approximately 2 minutes after the target is rebooted
We have no way to tell whether this was successful; however, if we already have access to the target (ie, if you're testing this), we can check if the file was successfully planted:
[root@bigip:Active:Standalone] config # cat /shared/f5_update_action
UpdateAction
https://localhost/success`echo exec\(__import__\(\'base64\'\).b64decode[...]
https://localhost/error
0
0

0
The code planted there will activate at reboot. So, ...wait till the target reboots. Perhaps when they update! Again, if you have shell access, you can check the log file when it boots:
[root@bigip:INOPERATIVE:] config # tail -f /var/log/f5_update_checker.out

Note that while this is written by root, you're in a pretty strict SELinux context so most obvious attacks (like writing to /etc/profile.d, /root/.ssh, etc., won't work).
