The DefaultActionMapper class in Apache Struts 2 supports a Dynamic Method Invocation feature via the "method:" prefix. The information contained in this prefix is not properly sanitized before being evaluated as OGNL expressions on the server side, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code on the server. This module exploits the vulnerability in any web application built on top of vulnerable versions of the Apache Struts 2 framework with the "struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation" configuration parameter in struts.xml set to True.
This module exploits a user-after-free vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. When bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, ...) was invoked with a BPF program whose bytecode references a non-map file descriptor as a map file descriptor, the error handling code called fdput() twice instead of once (in __bpf_map_get() and in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr()). If the file descriptor table of the current task is shared, this causes f_count to be decremented too much, allowing the struct file to be freed while it is still in use (use-after-free). This can be exploited to gain root privileges by an unprivileged user.
The Password Manager component installed by various Trend Micro products runs a Node.js HTTP server by default. This web server opens multiple HTTP RPC ports for handling API requests. For example, the openUrlInDefaultBrowser API function, which internally maps to a ShellExecute function call, allows and attacker to execute arbitrary commands on localhost without the need of any type of credentials. This module will wait for a vulnerable target to connect and deploy an agent by abusing the mentioned API functionallity provided by the vulnerable component.
The default error page in Spring Boot (also know as "Whitelabel Error Page"), when a type error is detected in a parameter configured in a controller, will display the provided value. The page's rendering expands Spring Expression Language (SPEL) expressions found in the page, and it does so recursively. Because of this, a string containing an expression language provided as the value for an URL parameter may be evaluated server side while rendering the page if it's from a different type to the expected for said parameter. The "Whitelabel Error Page" is provided by default, but it can be customized. This attack has only been tested with the default error page. In particular, if SPEL is not used a the templating language for another page, or if the page doesn't print the exception due to type mismatch, the attack is not possible.
An authenticated user may inject arbitrary xauth commands by sending an x11 channel request that includes a newline character in the x11 cookie. The newline acts as a command separator to the xauth binary. The injected xauth commands are performed with the effective permissions of the logged in user. This attack requires the server to have 'X11Forwarding yes' enabled. This module injects source xauth command to retrieve arbitrary files.
This module exploits an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Advantech WebAccess. The specific flaw exists within the WebAccess Dashboard Viewer. Insufficient validation within the FileUpload script allows unauthenticated callers to upload arbitrary code to directories in the server where the code can be automatically executed under the high-privilege context of the IIS AppPool. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
