One refers to the protection mechanisms implemented by the Struts maintainers, and the other relates to functionality reading the output of the command or make it cross-platform. Working with old Java applications, such as Struts 2. Setting a breakpoint on setClientName method is easy now: Furthermore, if the template engine allows it, an attacker could execute Operating System commands. More details on the issue are here and here. This is a compiled and ready to deploy demo application that uses Struts.

Getting familiar with Java may be tough for security researchers, but this will turn into an advantage in the end. After modifying the order, the client name will be parsed as OGNL, confirmed by successful execution of the mathematical operation. We have getters wwar setters for all Order properties, such as:. By abusing the functionality of the template engine.
Project 10x: Exploiting Apache Struts2 with CVE (10 pts. extra credit)
One refers to the protection mechanisms implemented by the Struts maintainers, and the other relates to functionality reading showcae output of the command or make it cross-platform.
To compile the application, we have just to cd into its directory and build it using Maven:. Full understanding of this framework to build web apps is not the scope of this article, which only scratches the surface to grasp the basic concepts.
That is why we have created this blog post.
Taking a look at the payload in the debugger helps understand why it works. A user may be able to execute user-provided Expression Language code, so this means that apps can be vulnerable to Expression Language Injection.
The result is the possibility to execute arbitrary OGNL expressions.
Maven Repository: » struts2-showcase »
Showcxse, if the template engine allows it, an attacker could execute Operating System commands. Multiple server-side template engines are available, such as FreeMarker, Velocity or Thymeleaf. Next, it will dive into some public exploits targeting the platform and using OGNL Injection flaws to understand this class of vulnerabilities.
In the end, the general idea is simple: The most useful public research knowledge on the topic is available on the LGTM blog. The following steps are showcade to compile it:. It is useful for applications because it is possible to separate major application components:.
Exploiting OGNL Injection in Apache Struts
After extracting the contents of the archive, you should have the file struts2-showcase. The debugger is the quickest way to learn the origin of shodcase vulnerability.
This is necessary because when setting values of parameters, as we do here, the method execution is denied as a protection measure, and we will not be able to execute any method. You can find here all the details about Java servlet specification latest version is 4. Useful details are available on this pagebut here is a short summary:.
The showcasw is then executed and the View component prepares the result and sends it to the user in the HTTP response. If you wonder why the payloads in public exploits are not like this: Contents Feel free to use the menu below to skip to the section of interest. An exploit is available from Exploit-DB - download and run it:. The advantages that come with debugging the vulnerable application include the ability to set breakpoints anywhere in the code, and inspecting and modifying all the variables.
Project 10x: Exploiting Apache Struts2 with CVE-2017-9805 (10 pts. extra credit)
A working exploit including plenty of technical implementation details is available here. The latest version of the package is available for download from here as a ZIP archive. This should trigger the call to the setClientName strhts2 hit the breakpoint. One thing to note is that before calling translateVariables function, we call setDenyMethodExecution. Like Java web apps, the apps that use the Apache Struts framework can have multiple servlets.
Below are some suggestions:. To strutw2 advantage of the vulnerability, we used the exploit written in C.
With all new research, patience is the most valuable quality.
