Cassandra Web 0.5.0 Remote File Read

Cassandra Web is vulnerable to directory traversal due to the disabled Rack::Protection module. Apache Cassandra credentials are passed via the CLI in order for the server to auth to it and provide the web access, so they are also one thing that can be captured via the arbitrary file read. Version 0.5.0 is affected.

# Cassandra Web 0.5.0 Remote File Read Exploit

#
# Cassandra Web is vulnerable to directory traversal due to the disabled
# Rack::Protection module. Apache Cassandra credentials are passed via the
# CLI in order for the server to auth to it and provide the web access, so
# they are also one thing that can be captured via the arbitrary file read.
#
# Usage
# > cassmoney.py 10.0.0.5 /etc/passwd
# root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
# daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin
# bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/usr/sbin/nologin
# ...
#
# > cassmoney.py 10.0.0.5 /proc/self/cmdline
# /usr/bin/ruby2.7/usr/local/bin/cassandra-web--usernameadmin--passwordP@ssw0rd
#
# (these creds are for auth to the running apache cassandra database server)
#
# Fix
# - fixed in github repo
# - v0.6.0 / ruby-gems when available
# (still recommended to containerize / run this in some sandbox, apparmor, etc)
