Documentation Format
This documentation is slightly different from the standard module documentation due to the variation in variables/privileges/versions that can affect how exploitation happens. This documentation is broken down by OS, Tomcat version, then privilege to show exploitation in each variation.
tomcat_mgr_deploy
This module is VERY similar to exploit/multi/http/tomcat_mgr_deploy, the main difference is this uses a POST HTTP request through the GUI, instead of a PUT HTTP request. This module also automatically undeploys (clean up) the malicious app.
Windows (xp sp2)
Tomcat 6 (6.0.48)
Setup
The install was default, other than adding a user during install. No other options were changed. The install assgined the new user the role manager-gui, which is Tomcat 7+ syntax.
For this exploitation, it was changed to simply manager.
Exploitation
-
Edit
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\tomcat-users.xmlto add the following under the<tomcat-users>line:<role rolename="manager"/> <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager"/> -

Tomcat 7 (7.0.73)
Of note, as of Tomcat 7, the permission role manager has been divided into several sub-roles. The manager-gui permission is required for this exploit.
Setup
The install was default, other than adding a user during install. No other options were changed.
Exploitation
-
If a user was not defined at install, you will need to add a
manager-guipermission user. EditC:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\tomcat-users.xmlto add the following under the<tomcat-users>line:<role rolename="manager-gui"/> <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager-gui"/> -

Create payload
This was performed on Windows XP with the following permissions as the user that was used to login:
- Tomcat 6.0.48:
manager - Tomcat 7.0.73:
manager-gui - Tomcat 8.0.39:

Deploy
- With a web browser, browse to
http://<ip>:<port>/manager/html - Enter credentials (no default)
- Under
Deploy>WAR file to deploy, click browse to selectmeterp.war, clickDeploy meterpshould now be listed underApplications, meaning it was successfully deployed.- Either click the link for
/meterpor browse tohttp://<ip>:<port>/meterp/
Callback
After browsing to that page, code execution will happen, and your callback will hit.
