RAU_crypto
Combined exploit for Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX.
- File upload for CVE-2017-11317 and CVE-2017-11357 - will automatically upload the file
- .NET deserialisation for CVE-2019-18935
Now supports testing for the target's ability to pull in remote payloads from an attacker-hosted SMB service. Use Burp Collaborator and/or Responder to facilitate testing whether the necessary pre-requisites are in place.
For exploitation to work, you generally need a version with hard coded keys, or you need to know the key, for example if you can disclose the contents of web.config. The exploit also allows for straightforward decryption and encryption of the rauPostData used with Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd?type=rau
Requirements
- python >= 3.6 with pycryptodome (https://www.pycryptodome.org/en/latest/src/installation.html) - installed with
pip3 install pycryptodomeorpip3 install pycryptodomex
Published on exploit-db (old version)

My other Telerik UI exploit (for CVE-2017-9248) will probably also be of interest. It is available here:
To do
- Missing HMAC functionality for later versions.
- Ability to specify custom key.
- Command line argument for execution of a mixed mode dll (in the meantime use the example .NET deserialisation payload provided below).
- Command line arguments for testing capability of and loading remotely (SMB) hosted mixed mode dlls
- Separate utility for testing mixed mode dll.
- Provide source code/compilation instructions for mixed mode dll.
- Brute force versions.
Note - the last four items are complete but not released.
Vulnerabilities
The file upload (CVE-2017-11317) vulnerability was discovered by others, I believe credits due to @straight_blast @pwntester @olekmirosh . Shortly after it was announced, I encountered the Telerik library during the course of my work, so I researched it and the vulnerability and wrote this exploit in July 2017. I also reported CVE-2017-11357 for the related insecure direct object reference.
The .NET deserialisation (CVE-2019-18935) vulnerability was discovered by @mwulftange.

Custom payload (.NET deserialisation)
For details on custom payloads for .NET deserialisation, there is a great article by @mwulftange who discovered this vulnerability on the Code White blog at the following link.
Update - There is an alternative exploit by Caleb Gross @noperator, which incorporates features from this exploit, with a great blog article explaining everything. Thanks also to Caleb for contributing to RAU_Crypto.
