File name CVE-2021-21972.py
written by tijl[dot]deneut[at]howest[dot]be for www.ic4.be
CVE-2021-21972 is an unauthenticated file upload and overwrite,
exploitation can be done via SSH public key upload or a webshell
The webshell must be of type JSP, and its success depends heavily on the specific vCenter version
# Manual verification: https://<ip>/ui/vropspluginui/rest/services/checkmobregister
# A white page means vulnerable
# A 401 Unauthorized message means patched or workaround implemented (or the system is not completely booted yet)
# Notes:
# * On Linux SSH key upload is always best, when SSH access is possible & enabled
# * On Linux the upload is done as user vsphere-ui:users
# * On Windows the upload is done as system user
# * vCenter 6.5 <=7515524 does not contain the vulnerable component "vropspluginui"
# * vCenter 6.7U2 and up are running the Webserver in memory, so backdoor the system (active after reboot) or use SSH payload
This is a native implementation without requirements, written in Python 3.
Works equally well on Windows as Linux (as MacOS, probably ;-)
