5 Key Vulnerabilities in Global Payroll
The cyber threat against payroll is growing in sophistication and frequency, according to the latest FBI cybercrime report. Many of these attacks exploit fixable vulnerabilities
This vulnerability occurs, for example, when a page receives, as input,
the path to the file that has to be included and this input is not
properly sanitized, allowing directory traversal characters (such as
dot-dot-slash) to be injected. Although most examples point to
vulnerable PHP scripts, we should keep in mind that it is also common in
other technologies such as JSP, ASP and others.
Liffy is a tool written in Python designed to exploit local file
inclusion vulnerabilities using three different techniques that will get
you a working web shell. The first two make use of the built-in PHP
wrappers php://input and data://. The third makes use of the process control extension called ‘expect’.
Current features include:
Liffy requires the following libraries: requests, argparse, blessings, urlparse
In order to host the payload you may use Node’s HTTP server: https://github.com/nodeapps/http-server
Or you can simply spawn python’s SimpleHTTPServer in /tmp on port
8000. Further development of the tool will eventually include spawning a
built-in web server in order to download, for now you can adjust the
location and port in the source code for your needs. These can be
changed in core.py under the execute functions.
