ZIP Shotgun - Utility Script To Test Zip File Upload Functionality (And Possible Extraction Of Zip Files) For Vulnerabilities

Utility script to test zip file upload functionality (and possible extraction of zip files) for vulnerabilities. Idea for this script comes from this post on Silent Signal Techblog - Compressed File Upload And Command Execution and from OWASP - Test Upload of Malicious Files

This script will create archive which contains files with "../" in filename. When extracting this could cause files to be extracted to preceding directories. It can allow attacker to extract shells to directories which can be accessed from web browser.

Default webshell is wwwolf's PHP web shell and all the credit for it goes to WhiteWinterWolf. Source is available HERE

Installation

Install using Python pip
pip install zip-shotgun --upgrade
Clone git repository and install
git clone https://github.com/jpiechowka/zip-shotgun.git
Execute from root directory of the cloned repository (where setup.py file is located)
pip install . --upgrade

Usage and options

Usage: zip-shotgun [OPTIONS] OUTPUT_ZIP_FILE
 
 Options:
   --version                       Show the version and exit.
   -c, --directories-count INTEGER
                                   Count of how many directories to go back
                                   inside the zip file (e.g 3 means that 3
                                   files will be added to the zip: shell.php,
                                   ../shell.php and ../../shell.php where
                                   shell.php is the name of the shell you
                                   provided or randomly generated value
                                   [default: 16]
   -n, --shell-name TEXT           Name of the shell inside the generated zip
                                   file (e.g shell). If not provided it will be
                                   randomly generated. Cannot have whitespaces
   -f, --shell-file-path PATH      A file that contains code for the shell. If
                                   this option is not provided wwwolf
                                   (https://github.com/WhiteWinterWolf/wwwolf-
                                   php-webshell) php shell will be added
                                   instead. If name is provided it will be
                                   added to the zip with the provided name or
                                   if not provided the name will be randomly
                                   generated.
   --compress                      Enable compression. If this flag is set
                                   archive will be compressed using DEFALTE
                                   algorithm with compression level of 9. By
                                   default there is no compression applied.
   -h, --help                      Show this message and exit.
