# Title: Imperva SecureSphere <= v13 - Privilege Escalation
# Author: 0x09AL
# Date: 01/08/2018
# Tested on: Imperva SecureSphere 11.5,12.0,13.0
# Vendor: https://www.imperva.com/
# Vulnerability Description
# There is a program named PCE.py which runs as root and starts a unix domain socket listener in /tmp/PCEListener.
# The problem is that the permissions in this socket are misconfigured. Every user on the system can interact with it.
# Using this exploit you can add arbritary ssh keys to authorized_keys for the admin user and login as the admin.
# Steps to reproduce:
# 1. Be a low-privileged user like oracle,apache. (You can simulate it by using `su oracle`)
# 2. Create a keypair. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
# 3. Modify the ssh_key variable.
# 4. Run python exploit.py
# 5. Login as the admin user using ssh -i id_rsa admin@ip-address.
