# Exploit Title: CSRF # Date: Wed, Aug 30, 2017 # Software Link: https://www.metasploit.com/ # Exploit Author: Dhiraj Mishra # Contact: http://twitter.com/mishradhiraj_ # Website: http://datarift.blogspot.in/ # CVE: CVE-2017-15084 (R7-2017-22) # Category: Metasploit Pro, Express, Ultimate, and Community 1. Description Metasploit Pro, Express, Ultimate, and Community can encounter an issue of cross site request forgery (also known as one-click attack and is abbreviated as CSRF or XSRF), which is a type of malicious exploit of a website where unauthorized commands are transmitted from a user that the web application trusts. A CSRF attack attempts to exploit the trust that a specific website has in a user's browser. 2. Proof of concept The MSF did not protect the logout form with csrf token, therefore i can logout any user by sending this url https://Metasploit-Server-IP:3790/logout Here's an attack vector: 1) Set up a honeypot that detects MSF scans/attacks (somehow). 2) Once I get a probe, fire back a logout request. 3) Continue to logout the active user forever. It's less damaging than a traditional "hack back" but is sure to irritate the local red team to no end. It's essentially a user DoS. This attack may have been useful as a denial of service against Metasploit instances, allowing an attacker to prevent normal Metasploit usage. 3.
