TeamCity IntelliJ IDEA Plugin credential interception (CVE-2020-35667)

Quick Links

Proof-of-Concept Report | Workflow Analysis | Server script

Description

This is a reproduction of CVE-2020-35667 by building a fake XML-RPC TeamCity endpoint.
CVE-2020-35667 is a SSRF vulnerability in the JetBrains TeamCity Plugin for IntelliJ IDE.
The old TeamCity IntelliJ plugin requests a public key from the server, encrypts the password with it, and sends it back.
Since the server is attacker-controlled, the attacker decrypts and logs the plaintext credentials.

The vulnerability was reported by Jonathan Leitschuh (https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2021/02/03/jetbrains-security-bulletin-q4-2020/).

The impact of exploiting this vulnerability is the Interception of plaintext user credentials during plugin login process, via attacker controlled XML-RPC endpoint.

Reproduction Environment

This is my setup for reproducing the issue:

  • IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2018.1.8

    • https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/other.html
  • TeamCity 2020.2.1 (build 85633)

    • https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/previous-releases-downloads.html#TeamCity+2020.2.1
  • Vulnerable TeamCity IntelliJ Plugin

    • Download using the TeamCity Dashboard UI after running TeamCity
    • Plugin .zip file name: TeamCity-IDEAplugin.zip;
    • SHA256 hash: 98aaaea4276f718c6c9cf3cb5383da1be6af9daa29e5b17fda8fa70d6bc1342f
  • OS: Windows 10

  • Python version: 3.12.7

  • Python requirements are located in cve2020-35667/requirements.txt

Quick Start

root@kitploit:~
pip install -r requirements.txt
python poc_server.py
# Server listens on http://127.0.0.1:8888
  1. In IntelliJ, install or enable the old TeamCity plugin.
  2. From IntelliJ menu: TeamCity -> Login -> Server URL: http://127.0.0.1:8888.
  3. Enter a test username and password and Connect.

Expected result (vulnerable): User credentials are logged to the server console.

Expected behavior if secure: Client validates server identity and key authenticity, credentials are not exposed to a spoofed endpoint.
