Bluecoat ASG 6.6/CAS 1.3 - Privilege Escalation Exploit

# Exploit Title: OS Command Injection Vulnerability in BlueCoat ASG and CAS
# Date: April 3, 2017
# Exploit Authors:  Chris Hebert, Peter Paccione and Corey Boyd
# Vendor Security Advisory: https://bto.bluecoat.com/security-advisory/sa138
# Version: CAS 1.3 prior to 1.3.7.4 & ASG 6.6 prior to 6.6.5.4 are vulnerable
# Tested on: BlueCoat CAS 1.3.7.1
# CVE : cve-2016-9091

08/31/2016 (Vulnerablities Discovered)
03/31/2017 (Final Vendor Patch Confirmed)
04/03/2017 (Public Release)
 
Description:
The BlueCoat ASG and CAS management consoles are susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerablity.
A malicious user with tomcat privileges can escalate to root via the vulnerable mvtroubleshooting.sh script.
 
Proof of Concept:
 
Metasploit Module - root priv escalation (via mvtroubleshooting.sh)

        'Description'   => %q{
          This module abuses the sudo access granted to tomcat and the mvtroubleshooting.sh script to escalate
          privileges. In order to work, a tomcat session with access to sudo on the sudoers
          is needed. This module is useful for post exploitation of BlueCoat
          vulnerabilities, where typically web server privileges are acquired, and this
          user is allowed to execute sudo on the sudoers file.
