# Title: Imperva SecureSphere 13 - Remote Command Execution
# Author: rsp3ar
# Date: 2018-10-08
# Vendor: https://www.imperva.com/products/securesphere/
# CVE: N/A
# Version: 13.0.10, 13.1.10, 13.2.10
# Tested on: SecureSphere (Virtual Appliance)

# Description
# PWS is a component in SecureSphere v13, which consists of Python CGIs to expose various cli utilities over https.
# The Python CGIs didn't properly sanitize user supplied command parameters, leading to command injection.
# The vulnerability could be exploited in below ways (depending on configuration status of SecureSphere):

# 1. Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (Pre-FTL mode)
# When SecureSphere VM is provisioned without running 'ftl' utility to configured into SOM/MX/Gateway mode,
# the vulnerable endpoint could be reached without authentication:

# $ python poc.py -t 192.168.146.201 'sudo id'
# [*] Sending payload to https://192.168.146.201/pws/impcli...
# [*] Received command execution output:
# uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

# 2. Authenticated Remote Code Execution (Gateway mode)
# When SecureSphere VM is configured as gateway mode via 'ftl' utility, the vulnerable endpoint
# could be reached with valid agent registration credential for user 'imperva':

# $ python poc.py -t 192.168.146.201 -p 'agent_registration_password' 'sudo id'
# [*] Sending payload to https://192.168.146.201/pws/impcli...
# [*] Received command execution output:
# uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
