Add FreeSwitch Login auxiliary module #16723

krastanoel · 2022-06-28T13:51:15Z

This module is a login utility to find the password of the FreeSWITCH event socket service by bruteforcing the login interface. Note that this service does not require a username to log in; login is done purely via supplying a valid password.

Docker Installation

docker pull drachtio/drachtio-freeswitch-mrf
docker run -d --rm --name FS1 --net=host \
-v /home/deploy/log:/usr/local/freeswitch/log  \
-v /home/deploy/sounds:/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds \
-v /home/deploy/recordings:/usr/local/freeswitch/recordings \
drachtio/drachtio-freeswitch-mrf freeswitch --sip-port 5038 --tls-port 5039 --rtp-range-start 20000 --rtp-range-end 21000 --password hunter

Thanks @krastanoel for this contribution! I tested against a Docker installation and it works great! I also left a few comments/suggestions for you to review, when you get a chance.

Please, could run msftidy_docs.rb and address what it reports?

ruby tools/dev/msftidy_docs.rb documentation/modules/auxiliary/scanner/misc/freeswitch_event_socket_login.md

Thank you @cdelafuente-r7 for reviewing the module and thanks for the hint I didn't know this. I've run the msftidy docs and there are 5 warnings that I've corrected.

+    @check = check_host(ip)
+    case @check.code
+    when 'safe'
+      fail_with(Failure::NoAccess, @check.reason)
+    when 'unknown'
+      fail_with(Failure::Unknown, @check.reason)
+    end


This can be handled automatically by the AutoCheck mixin, which calls the #check_host method and fails or continues according to the check code that is returned. You can remove these lines and just prepend the mixin at the beginning of the class definition:

... include Msf::Auxiliary::AuthBrute prepend Msf::Exploit::Remote::AutoCheck

Suggested change

@check = check_host(ip)

case @check.code

when 'safe'

fail_with(Failure::NoAccess, @check.reason)

when 'unknown'

fail_with(Failure::Unknown, @check.reason)

end

Thanks I forgot this mixin. Also added rescue when NoMethodError raised in case user use ForceExploit against unknown services.

Thanks!

Is there a specific location where this exception might be raised when scanning against unknown services?

Usually, NoMethodError exceptions are related to an issue in the code and should not happen. If such exception is raised, this means something needs to be fixed in the code to add the necessary checks or use the safe navigation operator to avoid it.

Thank you again for the hint! You're right the issue is in the code:

[*] 192.168.56.1:4444 - Running automatic check ("set AutoCheck false" to disable) [!] 192.168.56.1:4444 - Cannot reliably check exploitability. Unable to determine the service fingerprint ForceExploit is enabled, proceeding with exploitation.

I didn't pay attention on the error message for the strip method to use the safe navigation operator.

+    cred_collection = Metasploit::Framework::PrivateCredentialCollection.new(
+      password: datastore['PASSWORD'],
+      pass_file: datastore['PASS_FILE']
+    )


There is one potential issue when using the LoginScanner with credentials without usernames. During the scan, scan! will iterate around the credentials and keep track of successful login in successful_users data structure. Since there is no username, nil will be stored. The next iterations will check if the user's password has been already found by checking if the username (also nil) is present in successful_users. Since the unique username is nil, this will skip all the subsequent credentials.

As a result of this, all the credentials after the one that has been successful will be skipped. This means the datastore option STOP_ON_SUCCESS has no effect, even if it is set to false. This is something we could improve in Framework, but in the meantime, it might be a good idea to document this behavior and deregister the datastore option STOP_ON_SUCCESS to avoid confusion.

I didn't know this, I've deregister the STOP_ON_SUCCESS option but not sure where and how to document this behavior.

Thanks! You can add a line to documentation/modules/auxiliary/scanner/misc/freeswitch_event_socket_login.md, in the Description section, saying that the module stops as soon as a valid password is found. It will be fine.

I noticed this option is still used by the module line 73 and should also be removed. The stop_on_success attribute cannot be removed entirely, otherwise the scanner validation routine will fail. So, setting this attribute to true should be fine. Also, that would be a good idea to add a comment explaining this attribute will have no effect due to the scanner behavior when scanning without usernames.

scanner = Metasploit::Framework::LoginScanner::FreeswitchEventSocket.new( host: ip, port: rport, cred_details: cred_collection, stop_on_success: true, connection_timeout: 10 )

Thanks for updating this @krastanoel! Everything looks good now. I tested against a docker installation of FreeSwitch and verified the brute force attack worked. I'll go ahead and land it. This is a great module, thank you for your contribution!
