# Exploit Title: Apache Portals Pluto 3.0.0 - Remote Code Execution
# Date: 2018-09-12
# Exploit Author: Che-Chun Kuo
# Vendor Homepage: https://portals.apache.org/pluto/
# Software Link: http://archive.apache.org/dist/portals/pluto/
# Version: 3.0.0
# Tested on: Windows
# Advisory: https://portals.apache.org/pluto/security.html
# Other Vulnerability Types: Authentication bypass, directory traversal, arbitrary file upload
# CVE: CVE-2018-1306
 
# Vulnerability 1: Authentication bypass via HTTP verb tampering
# Description: Apache Pluto uses web.xml security constraints to control access to resources. 
# These security constraints have been insecurely defined allowing authentication to be bypassed. 
# When specific http methods are listed within a security constraint, then only those 
# methods are protected. Pluto defines the following http methods: GET, POST, and PUT. 
# Since the HEAD method is not listed, a request with a HTTP HEAD method effectively 
# circumvents the security policy.
 
# Vulnerability 2: Remote code execution via arbitrary file upload
# Description: An attacker can call the PortletV3AnnotatedDemo Multipart Portlet and upload 
# an arbitrary file. The uploaded file is directly accessible within 
# the /PortletV3AnnotatedDemo/temp/ directory. This technique allows an unauthenticated 
# attacker to install a malicious JSP file and remotely execute code on a server running Apache Pluto.
# Insecure Remediation: This vulnerability was mitigated by moving the /temp directory 
# outside the /webapps directory and under the Tomcat directory. 
 
# Vulnerability 3: Directory traversal in multipart file upload 
# Description: Apache Pluto's multipart file uploader is vulnerable to directory traversal. 
# An attacker is able to upload a file outside the default /temp directory to an arbitrary location 
# on the filesystem. The following filename will drop a JSP webshell 
# into the /webapps/pluto public directory: filename="../../../webapps/pluto/jspshell.jsp". 
# Leveraging this technique, remote code execution via webshell is still possible despite 
# remediation in Vulnerability 2. 
 
# PROOF OF CONCEPT
# UPLOAD REQUEST 1 - TEMP DIR INSIDE WEBROOT
