CVE-2018-7600 | Drupal 8.5.x < 8.5.1 / 8.4.x < 8.4.6 / 8.x < 8.3.9 / 7.x? < 7.58 / < 6.x? - 'Drupalgeddon2' RCE (SA-CORE-2018-002)
Drupalggedon2 ~ https://github.com/dreadlocked/Drupalgeddon2/ (https://www.drupal.org/sa-core-2018-002)
Supports:
- Drupal < 8.3.9 / < 8.4.6 / < 8.5.1 ~
user/register
URL, attackingaccount/mail
&#post_render
parameter, using PHP'spassthru
function - Drupal < 7.58 ~
user/password
URL, attackingtriggering_element_name
form &#post_render
parameter, using PHP'spassthru
function - Works with direct commands (aka File-Less Method) or writes a PHP shell to the web root (
./
) or sub-directories (./sites/default/
&./sites/default/files/
) - Support Linux & Windows targets
- Auto detects Drupal version (or takes a good guess!)
The user/register
method was chosen for Drupal v8.x, as it will return HTTP 200
, and render the output in the data
JSON response (un-comment the code for timezone
/#lazy_builder
method, which will return HTTP 500
& blind!) (More Information)
Authors:
Notes:
- For advance users/setups there is a more customizable exploit. See the
drupalgeddon2-customizable-beta.rb
section - Before opening an issue, please, read the troubleshooting section at the end. Thanks!
Usage:
$ ruby drupalgeddon2.rb
Usage: ruby drupalggedon2.rb <target> [--verbose] [--authentication]
ruby drupalgeddon2.rb https://example.com
$
The --verbose
and --authentication
parameter can be added in any order after <target>
and they are both optional.
If --authentication
is specified then you will be prompted with a request to submit
- username,
- password,
- form field name for username,
- form field name for password,
- URL path to the web login page, e.g.,
user/login
- eventual suffix to append after the credentials in the form submission, e.g., form_id, etc.
This is to support exploiting websites that first require POST-based web login and who respond with a session cookie, upon successful authentication.

Proxy Support
For proxy support (e.g. Burp), edit the file, replacing with your values. Example:
proxy_addr = "192.168.0.130"
proxy_port = 8080
Experimental but usable: drupalgeddon2-customizable-beta.rb
drupalgeddon2-customizable-beta.rb
is intended for more advance users as its more customizable. It allows you to specify some more parameters as the PHP method to use (not only system()
or passthru()
) and the way to reach user/password form.
Usage examples:
Usage example: ./drupalgeddon-customizable-beta.rb -u http://example.com/ -v 7 -c id
More info: -h
-u, --url URL [Required] Service URL
-v, --version VERSION [Required] Target Drupal version {7,8}
-c, --command COMMAND [Required] Command to execute
-m, --method PHP_METHOD [Optional] PHP Method to use, by default: passthru
--form [Optional] Form to attack, by default '/user/password' in Drupal 7 and '/user/register' in Drupal 8
--cloudflare [Optional] Tries to bypass Cloudflare using Lua-Nginx +100 parameters WAF Bypass
-h, --help Prints this help
Troubleshooting:
-
Whenever getting a cannot load such file "LoadError" type of error, do run
sudo gem install <missing dependency>
. In particular, you may need to install the highline dependency withsudo gem install highline
-
The target may redirect to another path, where Drupal exists (such as
HTTP 30x
responses)- Solution: Make sure you are using the correct Drupal path
-
There is a limitations of a allowed characters that are able to be used in the payload/command
- Solution: This is due to how the vulnerability sees them and them being encoded for the URL request. Encode the payload, decode it on the target. Such as base64
-
If the target is Linux, and isn't using "GNU base64", it may be the BSD version (or its not installed all together!)
- Solution: which to
base64 -D
(rather thanbase64 -d
) or use the file-less method
- Solution: which to
-
If the target using Windows, writing the PHP shell always fails
- Solution: Use file-less method. This is because gets pipe to a unix program, rather than using
certutil
orPowerShell
- Solution: Use file-less method. This is because gets pipe to a unix program, rather than using
-
Drupal v8.x -
./.htaccess
will stop any PHP scripts from executing in./sites/default/
if that is the writeable folder- Solution: Switch to the file-less method
-
Drupal v8.x - "clean URL" isn't enabled on the target
- Solution: N/A - Not vulnerable =(
-
Drupal v7.x - If the
/user/password
form is disabled, you meed find another form (remember to change the exploit!)- Solution:
form_id
parameter will change depending on the form used to exploit the vulnerability
