List of CVEs: CVE-2020-2038
An OS Command Injection vulnerability in the PAN-OS management interface that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges. This issue impacts PAN-OS versions < 10.0.1, < 9.1.4 and < 9.0.10
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:
- artifacts-on-disk: Modules leaves a payload or a dropper on the target machine.
- 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 exploit/linux/http/panos_op_cmd_exec
msf exploit(panos_op_cmd_exec) > exploit
Required Options
- RHOSTS: The target host(s), see https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Using-Metasploit
Knowledge Base
Vulnerable Application
This module exploits CVE-2020-2038, an authenticated OS Command Injection vulnerability in PAN-OS versions < 10.0.1, < 9.1.4 and <9.0.10 that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges. The Rest API allows authenticated users to send operational mode commands via the "op" request. Insufficient filtering of user inputs in the "op" request allows an attacker to inject commands.
A Palo Alto Firewall demo VM can be requested at the following link. PAN‑OS is the software that runs all Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls. PAN-OS will be running on the VM by default. The only setup necessary should be setting the administrator password.
Verification Steps
- Start msfconsole
- Do:
use exploit/linux/http/panos_auth_rce - Set the
RHOST,USERNAME, andPASSWORDoptions - Run the module
- Receive a Meterpreter session as the
rootuser.
