CVE-2018-7600 | Drupal 8.5.x < 8.5.1 / 8.4.x < 8.4.6 / 8.x < 8.3.9 / 7.x? < 7.58 / < 6.x? - 'Drupalgeddon2' RCE (SA-CORE-2018-002)

Drupalggedon2 ~ https://github.com/dreadlocked/Drupalgeddon2/ (https://www.drupal.org/sa-core-2018-002)

Supports:

  • Drupal < 8.3.9 / < 8.4.6 / < 8.5.1 ~ user/register URL, attacking account/mail & #post_render parameter, using PHP's passthru function
  • Drupal < 7.58 ~ user/password URL, attacking triggering_element_name form & #post_render parameter, using PHP's passthru function
  • Works with direct commands (aka File-Less Method) or writes a PHP shell to the web root (./) or sub-directories (./sites/default/ & ./sites/default/files/)
  • Support Linux & Windows targets
  • Auto detects Drupal version (or takes a good guess!)

The user/register method was chosen for Drupal v8.x, as it will return HTTP 200, and render the output in the data JSON response (un-comment the code for timezone/#lazy_builder method, which will return HTTP 500 & blind!) (More Information)

Authors:

  • Hans Topo (@_dreadlocked)
  • g0tmi1k (@g0tmi1k)

Notes:

  • For advance users/setups there is a more customizable exploit. See the drupalgeddon2-customizable-beta.rb section
  • Before opening an issue, please, read the troubleshooting section at the end. Thanks!

Usage:

$ ruby drupalgeddon2.rb
Usage: ruby drupalggedon2.rb <target> [--verbose] [--authentication]
       ruby drupalgeddon2.rb https://example.com
$

The --verbose and --authentication parameter can be added in any order after and they are both optional. If --authentication is specified then you will be prompted with a request to submit

  • username,
  • password,
  • form field name for username,
  • form field name for password,
  • URL path to the web login page, e.g., user/login
  • eventual suffix to append after the credentials in the form submission, e.g., form_id, etc.

This is to support exploiting websites that first require POST-based web login and who respond with a session cookie, upon successful authentication.

Direct Commands / Non PHP Shell (aka File-Less Method)

If either you do not want to even try and write a PHP web shell to the web server, edit the file as shown (it will fall back if it can't find a writeable location anyway):

try_phpshelltryphpshell = false
