# Log4j CVE-2021-44228 checker
Multithreaded checks a list of URLs with `POST` and `GET` requests in combination with parameters.
Heavily inspired by [NortwaveSecurity version](https://github.com/NorthwaveSecurity/log4jcheck).
# Set-up
## URLs to check
The list of URLs to check should be in the following format (`csv`):
```csv
description,URL,method,parameters
production,example.com/login,POST,"username,password"
staging,example.com/search,GET,"q"
development,example.com/,GETNP,""
```
This will subsequently run a `POST` request on `example.com/login` where the following raw body is posted:
```username={jndi:ldap...}&password={jndi:ldap...}```
Similarly, it will run the following `GET` request: `example.com/search?q={jndi:ldap...}`.
Alternatively you can specify `GETNP` (`GET` `N`o `P`arameters) to do the `GET` the url with the payload appended: `example.com/new/{jndi:ldap...}`.
Additionally the payload is also inserted in the `User-Agent`, `Referer`, `X-Forwarded-For`, `Authentication` headers to increase the chances for a hit.
If you want to check URLs for both `GET`, `POST` or `GETNP`, please duplicate the entry in the CSV.
## Canary Token
To set-up without any prior configurations you can use [https://canarytokens.org/generate](https://canarytokens.org/generate) and create a Log4Shell CanaryToken:
Alternatively, you can [set-up your own DNS server](https://github.com/NorthwaveSecurity/log4jcheck).
# Running the script
Install dependencies by using `pip install-r requirements.txt`. Edit the script to change the following line to your preferred canary token:
```
usage: log4jcheck.py [-h] -f FILE -u URL [-w WAIT] [-t TIMEOUT] [-p PREFIX] [-q THREADS] [-d DONE]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FILE, --file FILE The CSV filename containing the URLs
-u URL, --url URL DNS subdomain URL on which th callback is performed
-w WAIT, --wait WAIT Number of seconds to wait before next request (default: 1)
-t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
HTTP timeout in seconds to use (default: 5)
-p PREFIX, --prefix PREFIX
Type of prefix, see prefixes_injects for options. (default: 0, options 0-3)
-q THREADS, --threads THREADS
Number of threads to distribute the work
-d DONE, --done DONE File where we can keep track of items that are done
```
Generate the folder: `/run/logs` to output the logs to. Here you can track the progress, nothing will be send to `stdout`.
Now the script can be run, pointing the script to the prior created CSV with URLs to check.
```
python3 .\log4jcheck.py --file .\urls-example.csv --threads 2 --url "L4J.ujz5sgvgo7xuvn03ft9qrws5w.canarytokens.com/a" -w 0 -t 1
```
Check if the token has been triggered after the script has been completed. You will be able to cross correlate which application triggered based on the generated `UUID4` in combination with the injected parameter, e.g.: `40852c3b-2d6b-4bd5-a91f-4416aa730619-username`.
## Testing
Tested against [log4shell-vulnerable-app](https://github.com/christophetd/log4shell-vulnerable-app). Modify the `MainControll.java` as follows:
```
package fr.christophetd.log4shell.vulnerableapp;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestHeader;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
@RestController
public class MainController {
private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger("HelloWorld");
@GetMapping("/")
public String index(@RequestHeader("X-Api-Version") String apiVersion) {
logger.info("Received a request for API version " + apiVersion);
return "Hello, world!";
}
@GetMapping("/test")
public String testGet(@RequestParam String test) {
logger.info("Received a request for test " + test);
return "Test world!";
}
@PostMapping("/test")
public String test(@RequestBody String test) {
logger.info("Received a request for test " + test);
return "Test world!";
}
}
```
Compile and run:
```
gradle bootJar --no-daemon
java -jar .\build\libs\log4shell-vulnerable-app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
```
Run the `log4jcheck` with the following `urls.csv` file:
```
description,URL,method,parameters
test,http://localhost:8080/test,POST,"test"
test,http://localhost:8080/test,GET,"test"
```
The following information should appear in the canary token log:
## Coverage:
The following HTTP headers are covered:
* `X-Api-Version`
* `User-Agent`
* `Referer`
* `X-Druid-Comment`
* `Origin`
* `Location`
* `X-Forwarded-For`
* `Cookie`
* `X-Requested-With`
* `X-Forwarded-Host`
* `Accept`
For each injection, the following JNDI prefixes are possible:
* 0: `jndi:dns`
* 1: `jndi:${lower:l}${lower:d}ap`
* 2: `jndi:rmi`
* 3: `jndi:ldap`
## DISCLAIMER
Note that the script only performs checks the: *User Agent* and any parameters you specify to either the `POST` or `GET` request. This will cause false negatives in cases where other headers, missed input fields, etcetera need to be targeted to trigger the vulnerability. Feel free to add extra checks to the script.
