CVE-2018-7490 uWSGI PHP Plugin目录遍历

 

 

#攻击标题：uWSGI PHP Plugin目录遍历

#日期：2018年3月1日

#开发作者：Marios Nicolaides-RUNESEC

#评审人：西蒙·洛伊齐德斯和尼古拉斯·马基塔尼斯-鲁内塞克

#供应商主页：https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io

#受影响的软件：2.0.17之前的uWSGI PHP Plugin

#测试依据：uWSGI 2.0.12和2.0.15

#公司代码：CVE-2018-7490

#类别：Web应用程序

概述

--------

在没有指定“PHP allowed docroot”选项的情况下，2.0.17之前的uWSGI PHP插件容易被目录遍历。

该漏洞是由于请求通过“php docroot”指定的DOCUMENT_ROOT目录下的资源时对文件路径的验证不正确造成的。

远程攻击者可以利用此漏洞，使用路径遍历序列（“..%2f”）从易受攻击的系统中读取任意文件。

这在uWSGI 2.0.12和2.0.15上进行了测试。2.0.17之前的所有版本都会受到影响。

细节

-------

uWSGI的文档指出，phpdocroot选项用于将我们的php环境囚禁在一个项目目录中(http://uwsgi docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/PHP.html\run-php-apps-without-a-frontend-server）。

；将我们的php环境囚禁在project_dir中

php docroot=%（项目目录）

在测试过程中，观察到uWSGI在作为独立（没有前端web服务器）执行时受到目录遍历漏洞的影响，同时使用“php docroot”选项来强制web应用程序的DOCUMENT_ROOT。

uwsgi--http套接字：1337--protocol=http--plugin php--php索引索引.php--php docroot/home/testing/webapp/

攻击者可以通过使用路径遍历序列（“…%2f”）访问敏感信息来攻击此漏洞，如下所示：

http://example.runesec.com%2f….%2f….%2f….%2f/

我们注意到，当执行目录遍历攻击时，uWSGI发出以下安全错误：

[uwsgi fileserve]安全错误：/etc/passwd不在/home/testing/webapp下或安全路径下

但是，请求文件的内容（即/etc/passwd）仍然返回给用户。

在搜索了web上可能的解决方案之后，我们注意到“php-allowed-docroot”选项以前被添加到uWSGI中，以获得更好的安全性，并且可以用来列出允许的文档根，但是没有进一步的细节(http://lists.unbit.it/pipermail/uwsgi/2011-December/003180.html).

在进一步的测试中，我们发现当使用“php allowed docroot”而不是“php docroot”选项时，它不受目录遍历攻击的影响。

uwsgi--http套接字：1337--protocol=http--plugin php--php索引索引.php--允许的根目录/php/webapp测试/

在与uWSGI项目进行了一次非常有建设性和有帮助的谈话之后，他们发布了一个更新，在使用“php docroot”选项来防止目录遍历攻击时，强制执行文档根检查。请参阅缓解部分了解更多信息。

影响

------

攻击者可以利用此漏洞获取对位于web根目录之外的敏感文件的未经授权的读取权限。

缓解

----------

建议更新至uWSGI 2.0.17-https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Changelog-2.0.17.html

# Exploit Title: uWSGI PHP Plugin Directory Traversal
# Date: 01-03-2018
# Exploit Author: Marios Nicolaides - RUNESEC
# Reviewers: Simon Loizides and Nicolas Markitanis - RUNESEC
# Vendor Homepage: https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io
# Affected Software: uWSGI PHP Plugin before 2.0.17
# Tested on: uWSGI 2.0.12 and 2.0.15
# CVE: CVE-2018-7490
# Category: Web Application


OVERVIEW
--------
The uWSGI PHP plugin before 2.0.17 is vulnerable to Directory Traversal when used without specifying the "php-allowed-docroot" option.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of the file path when requesting a resource under the DOCUMENT_ROOT directory which is specified via "php-docroot".

A remote attacker could exploit this weakness to read arbitrary files from the vulnerable system using path traversal sequences ("..%2f").

This was tested on uWSGI 2.0.12 and 2.0.15. All versions before 2.0.17 are affected.


DETAILS
-------
The documentation of uWSGI states that the php-docroot option is used to jail our php environment to a project directory (http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/PHP.html#run-php-apps-without-a-frontend-server).

	; jail our php environment to project_dir
	php-docroot = %(project_dir)

During testing it was observed that uWSGI was affected by a Directory Traversal vulnerability when executed as a standalone (without a front-end web server) along with the "php-docroot" option to enforce the DOCUMENT_ROOT of the web application.

    uwsgi --http-socket :1337 --protocol=http --plugin php --php-index index.php --php-docroot /home/testing/webapp/

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using path traversal sequences ("..%2f") to access sensitive information as demonstrated below:

    http://example.runesec.com:1337/..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2fetc/passwd

We noticed that when a Directory Traversal attack was performed, uWSGI was issuing the following security error:

    [uwsgi-fileserve] security error: /etc/passwd is not under /home/testing/webapp or a safe path

However, the contents of the requested file (i.e., /etc/passwd) were still returned to the user.

After searching the web for possible solutions, we noticed that the "php-allowed-docroot" option was previously added to uWSGI for better security and could be used to list the allowed document roots but no further details were available (http://lists.unbit.it/pipermail/uwsgi/2011-December/003180.html).

Upon further testing, we observed that when the "php-allowed-docroot" was used instead of the "php-docroot" option, it was not affected by Directory Traversal attacks.

    uwsgi --http-socket :1337 --protocol=http --plugin php --php-index index.php --php-allowed-docroot /home/testing/webapp/

After a very constructive and helpful talk with the uWSGI Project, they released an update which enforces a DOCUMENT_ROOT check when using the "php-docroot" option to prevent Directory Traversal attacks. Please see the MITIGATION section for more information.


IMPACT
------
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized read access to sensitive files located outside of the web root directory.


MITIGATION
----------
It is recommended to update to uWSGI 2.0.17 - https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Changelog-2.0.17.html
