CVE-2019-11580:Proof-of-Concept for Critical Atlassian Crowd Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Now Available
A proof-of-concept for critical Atlassian Crowd vulnerability patched on May 22 is now available.
Antecedentes
On July 14, security researcher Corben Leo published a blog detailing the analysis of a recently patched vulnerability in Atlassian Crowd, a user management application for access control for Active Directory (AD), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), OpenLDAP and Microsoft Azure AD.
Análisis
On May 22, Atlassian published Crowd Security Advisory 2019-05-22 to address CVE-2019-11580. According to the advisory, Crowd and Crowd Data Center incorrectly enabled a development plugin for pdkinstall in release builds. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to install arbitrary plugins by sending unauthenticated or authenticated requests to vulnerable Crowd or Crowd Data Center instances, which could grant them the ability to execute code.
Leo’s blog post provides analysis of the pdkinstall plugin and the PdkInstallFilter servlet, which he used to craft a proof-of-concept (PoC) that allowed him to gain pre-authenticated remote code execution in Atlassian Crowd.
