Vulnerable Application

Description

Apache Shiro v1.2.4 is vulnerable to a Java deserialization vulnerability. An unauthenticated user can submit a YSoSerial payload to the Apache Shiro web server as the value to the rememberMe cookie. This will result in code execution in the context of the web server.

The YSoSerial CommonsCollections2 payload is known to work and is the one leveraged by this module.

Note that other versions of Apache Shiro may also be exploitable if the encryption key used by Shiro to encrypt rememberMe cookies is known.

Setup

You can use https://github.com/Medicean/VulApps/tree/master/s/shiro/1.

1. Pull the docker image
   • docker pull medicean/vulapps:s_shiro_1
2. Run the docker image, binding to port 8080
   • docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 medicean/vulapps:s_shiro_1

Verification Steps

1. use exploit/multi/http/shiro_rememberme_v124_deserialize
2. set rhosts <rhost>
3. run

Options

ENC_KEY The encryption key the target Apache Shiro server is using to encrypt its rememberMe cookies.

Scenarios

Tested on GNU/Linux x86_64 using Shiro-1.2.4
