    Proxmox VE 3/4 Insecure Hostname Checking (Remote Root Exploit, XSS,
    Privileges escalation)
    =====================================================================
    
    Description
    ===========
    
    Proxmox is a popular virtualization solution based on KVM and Linux
    containers.
    
    A critical vulnerability has been found in Proxmox VE 3 (OpenVZ) and
    Proxmox VE 4 beta 1 (LXC) in the
    virtual machine creating form allowing authenticated remote users to
    overwrite configuration files settings.
    
    
    Configuration file overwriting
    ==============================
    
    Because the Proxmox VE application doesn't check the
    user-provided "hostname" POST parameter, it's
    possible to overwrite configuration files using a CRLF injection.
    In Proxmox VE 3, we successfully gained access to the host filesystem
    from a container and elevated our container capabilities, allowing us to
    obtain user credentials and sniff the network.
    In Proxmox VE 4b1, because LXC allows "hooks" to execute commands, we
    successfully gained root privileges on the host.
    It's also possible to exploit Proxmox clusters.
    
    **Access Vector**: remote
    
    **Security Risk**: high
    
    **Vulnerability**: CWE-915
    
    Proof of Concept
    ----------------
    
    The following exploit works for Proxmox VE 4 beta 1. The
    lxc.hook.pre-start configuration variable is used to trigger the ncat
    reverse-shell payload when the container is started.

     "password": password,
     "realm": realm})
    response = apireq.json()
