Module Overview
Name: VMware vCenter Server Analytics (CEIP) Service File Upload
Module: exploit/linux/http/vmware_vcenter_analytics_file_upload
Source code: modules/exploits/linux/http/vmware_vcenter_analytics_file_upload.rb
Disclosure date: 2021-09-21
Last modification time: 2021-10-20 14:16:46 +0000
Supported architecture(s): cmd, x86, x64
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-2021-22005
This module exploits a file upload in VMware vCenter Server's analytics/telemetry (CEIP) service to write a system crontab and execute shell commands as the root user. Note that CEIP must be enabled for the target to be exploitable by this module. CEIP is enabled by default.
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/vmware_vcenter_analytics_file_upload
msf exploit(vmware_vcenter_analytics_file_upload) > exploit
Required Options
- RHOSTS: The target host(s), see https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Using-Metasploit
Knowledge Base
Vulnerable Application
Setup
Follow VMware's official documentation or the unorthodox steps below.
- Download ISO
- Extract OVA from ISO
- Import OVA
- Boot VM
- Set root password in console
- Complete setup at https://change-this-to-your-target-host:5480/
- Ensure that CEIP is enabled
- (Optional) Upgrade to desired patch level
Initialization may take a while before the target is exploitable.
