Ranjiva konfiguracija

Primer sa https://bierbaumer.net/security/php-lfi-with-nginx-assistance/

  • PHP kod:
<?php include_once($_GET['file']);
  • FPM / PHP konfiguracija:
...
php_admin_value[session.upload_progress.enabled] = 0
php_admin_value[file_uploads] = 0
...
  • Postavljanje / ojačavanje:
...
chown -R 0:0 /tmp /var/tmp /var/lib/php/sessions
chmod -R 000 /tmp /var/tmp /var/lib/php/sessions
...

Srećom, PHP se trenutno često implementira putem PHP-FPM i Nginx-a. Nginx nudi lako previdljivu funkcionalnost client body buffering koja će kreirati privremene fajlove ako je telo klijenta (ne samo ograničeno na POST) veće od određenog praga.

Ova funkcionalnost omogućava iskorišćavanje LFI-ja bez ikakvog drugog načina kreiranja fajlova, ukoliko Nginx radi kao isti korisnik kao i PHP (što je vrlo često slučaj, kao što je www-data).

Relevantan Nginx kod:

ngx_fd_t
ngx_open_tempfile(u_char *name, ngx_uint_t persistent, ngx_uint_t access)
{
ngx_fd_t  fd;

fd = open((const char *) name, O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR,
access ? access : 0600);

if (fd != -1 && !persistent) {
(void) unlink((const char *) name);
}

return fd;
}

Vidljivo je da se privremena datoteka odmah uklanja nakon što je otvorena od strane Nginx-a. Srećom, procfs može se koristiti da se i dalje dobije referenca na obrisani fajl putem trke:

...
/proc/34/fd:
total 0
lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 Dec 25 23:56 0 -> /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 Dec 25 23:56 1 -> /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 Dec 25 23:49 10 -> anon_inode:[eventfd]
lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 Dec 25 23:49 11 -> socket:[27587]
lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 Dec 25 23:49 12 -> socket:[27589]
lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 Dec 25 23:56 13 -> socket:[44926]
lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 Dec 25 23:57 14 -> socket:[44927]
lrwx------ 1 www-data www-data 64 Dec 25 23:58 15 -> /var/lib/nginx/body/0000001368 (deleted)
...

Napomena: U ovom primeru nije moguće direktno uključiti /proc/34/fd/15, jer bi PHP-ova include funkcija razrešila putanju u /var/lib/nginx/body/0000001368 (obrisano), koja ne postoji u fajl sistemu. Srećom, ovu manju restrikciju možemo zaobići korišćenjem neke vrste indirekcije kao što je /proc/self/fd/34/../../../34/fd/15, što će na kraju izvršiti sadržaj obrisanog fajla /var/lib/nginx/body/0000001368.

LFI to RCE via Nginx temp files

Description

This technique allows an attacker to escalate a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability to Remote Code Execution (RCE) by exploiting Nginx temporary files.

Exploitation

  1. Identify the LFI vulnerability in the target web application.
  2. Determine the location of the Nginx temporary directory. This can usually be found in the Nginx configuration file (nginx.conf).
  3. Craft a payload that will write a malicious PHP file to the Nginx temporary directory. For example:
<?php echo system($_GET['cmd']); ?>
  1. Use the LFI vulnerability to include the crafted payload into a PHP file on the target server.
  2. Trigger the inclusion of the PHP file containing the payload.
  3. The payload will be executed by the server, resulting in remote code execution.

Prevention

To prevent this type of attack, it is recommended to:

  • Regularly update Nginx to the latest version.
  • Restrict access to the Nginx temporary directory.
  • Implement input validation and sanitization to prevent LFI vulnerabilities.
  • Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to detect and block malicious requests.
