![]() Command line string for Windows Argv->program.exe This is depicted in the flowchart shown below: Cmdline = “program.exe hello world”įigure 1. This requires the program to parse the command line itself by extracting the command line string using GetCommandLine() API and then parsing the arguments string using CommandLineArgvW() helper function. In Windows, arguments are not passed separately as an array of strings but rather in a single command-line string. Typically, the CGI Servlet is mapped to the URL pattern “/cgi-bin/*”, meaning any CGI applications that are executed must be present within the web application.Ī new process in Windows OS is launched by calling the CreateProcess() function, which takes the following command line as a string (the lpComandLine parameter to CreateProcess): This servlet supports the execution of external applications that conform to the CGI specification. The CGI Servlet is one of the servlets provided as default. In Apache Tomcat, the file web.xml is used to define default values for all web applications loaded into a Tomcat instance. However, Tomcat servers running on Windows machines that have the CGI Servlet parameter enableCmdLineArguments enabled are vulnerable to remote code execution due to a bug in how the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) passes command line arguments to Windows. The CGI Servlet, which is disabled by default, is used to generate command line parameters generated from a query string. These applications, called CGI scripts, are used to execute programs external to the Tomcat Java virtual machine (JVM). The CGI is a protocol that is used to manage how web servers interact with applications. This blog entry delves deeper into this vulnerability by expounding on what it is, how it can be exploited, and how it can be addressed. This high severity vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands by abusing an operating system command injection brought about by a Tomcat CGI Servlet input validation error. On April 15, Nightwatch Cybersecurity published information on CVE-2019-0232, a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability involving Apache Tomcat’s Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Servlet. It implements several Java EE specifications, including Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages (JSP), Java Expression Language (EL), and WebSocket, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment in which Java code can run. I have checked the 1.jsp file but it hasn't been created yet: GET /1.jsp/ HTTP/1.1Īccept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/* q=0.8,application/signed-exchange v=b3 q=0.Apache Tomcat, colloquially known as Tomcat Server, is an open-source Java Servlet container developed by a community with the support of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). (The POST request even does not appear any error or response). I have tried the POST but it just proves that there is a special thing in the PUT method: POST /1.jsp/ HTTP/1.1 It proves that the server has handled the request, it may works but not. The server may has decoded the content in the body of the request, but the % o is not a valid URL character, so the error turns out. I found that the error is from the Java URLDecoder. Whitelabel Error PageThis application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.Fri Apr 17 11:07:There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).URLDecoder: Illegal hex characters in escape (%) pattern - For input string: ' o' ![]() User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0 Win64 圆4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/.149 Safari/537.36Īccept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/* q=0.8,application/signed-exchange v=b3 q=0.9Ĭontent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencodedĬontent-Type: text/html charset=ISO-8859-1 But when I sent the exploit request, there is an error: PUT /1.jsp/ HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1 Win64 圆4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/.113 Safari/537.36Īccept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/* q=0.8Īccept-Language: en-US,en q=0.8,zh-CN q=0.6,zh q=0.4,zh-TW q=0.2Ĭookie: JSESSIONID=A27674F21B3308B4D893205FD2E2BF94Īnd after some testing, I found that the server enabled the PUT method.
