Vulnerable Application

The administrator application was removed as of Tomcat 6. Tomcat 5.5.36 is available from apache. This does not have the admin app bundled though, and can be downloaded here.

To utilize the admin application, a user must have the permission admin applied to their account. The following user line will handle all necessary permissions:

<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="admin"/>

Verification Steps

  1. Install Tomcat 5.5 or older
  2. Install the admin app
  3. Start msfconsole
  4. Do: use auxiliary/admin/http/tomcat_administration
  5. Do: set rhosts [ips]
  6. Do: set tomcat_user [username]
  7. Do: set tomcat_pass [username]
  8. Do: set rport [port]
  9. Do: run
  10. Find all the Tomcat admin portals

Options

rport

The default is set to 8180, which is only default on FreeBSD. All other operating systems, and the software itself, default to 8080.

Scenarios

Example run against Tomcat 5.5.36 with admin module installed against Windows XP

msf auxiliary(tomcat_administration) > set rhosts 192.168.2.108
rhosts => 192.168.2.108
msf auxiliary(tomcat_administration) > set verbose true
verbose => true
msf auxiliary(tomcat_administration) > set tomcat_pass tomcat
tomcat_pass => tomcat
msf auxiliary(tomcat_administration) > set tomcat_user tomcat
tomcat_user => tomcat
