7.6 KiB

Vulnerable Application

Piwik can be downloaded from the official site piwik.org. Older builds are also available from builds.piwik.org.

This module was tested with Piwik versions 2.14.0, 2.16.0, 2.17.1 and 3.0.1

Piwik disabled custom plugin uploads in version 3.0.3. From version 3.0.3 onwards you have to enable custom plugin uploads via the config file.

Verification Steps

Install Piwik (Debian/Ubuntu)

  1. Install dependencies

    sudo apt install apache2 php5 php5-mysql \
      libapache2-mod-php5 mariadb-server unzip php5-gd php5-curl
    
  2. Download latest version of piwik (or the version of your choice from builds.piwik.org)

    wget https://builds.piwik.org/piwik.zip
    
  3. Unzip Piwik into webroot

    unzip -d /var/www/html/ piwik.zip
    
  4. Make the webserver user the owner of piwik

    chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
    
  5. Create a new user and database for piwik. If you want to run multiple versions in parallel use a different database for each install (user is optional). This example assumes your MySQL root password is password

    mysql -u root -ppassword -e "CREATE DATABASE piwik;"
    mysql -u root -ppassword -e "CREATE USER piwik@localhost;"
    mysql -u root -ppassword -e "SET PASSWORD FOR piwik@localhost=PASSWORD('piwik');"
    mysql -u root -ppassword -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON piwik.* TO piwik@localhost;"
    mysql -u root -ppassword -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
    
  6. Add a config setting to PHP to stop piwik complaining about it

    echo always_populate_raw_post_data=-1 > /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/99-piwik.ini
    
  7. Finally restart Apache HTTPD

    service apache2 restart
    

Pwn Piwik

  1. Install the application (see installation steps above)
  2. Start msfconsole
  3. Do: use [module path]
  4. Do: set RHOST [Domain/IP]
  5. Do: set RPORT [Port]
  6. Do: set TARGETURI [installation directory]
  7. Do: set SSL [True/False]
  8. Do: set USERNAME [valid Piwik superuser credentials]
  9. Do: set PASSWORD [valid Piwik superuser credentials]
  10. Do: run
  11. You should get a shell.

Options

TARGETURI

Path of the Piwik installation.

USERNAME

Valid username for a Piwik superuser account.

PASSWORD
