Elasticsearch up to 1.4.4/1.5.1 Site Plugin path traversal

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability was found in Elasticsearch up to 1.4.4/1.5.1. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is some unknown functionality of the component Site Plugin. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in Elasticsearch before 1.4.5 and 1.5.x before 1.5.2, when a site plugin is enabled, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.

The weakness was published 05/01/2015 by John Heasman with DocuSign (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at elastic.co. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2015-3337 since 04/20/2015. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1006 according to MITRE ATT&CK.

A public exploit has been developed by pandujar in Python and been published 3 weeks after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 84413 (FreeBSD : elasticsearch -- directory traversal attack with site plugins (a71e7440-1ba3-11e5-b43d-002590263bf5)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family FreeBSD Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 10502 (Elasticsearch Directory Traversal Vulnerability).

Upgrading to version 1.4.5 or 1.5.2 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Exploit-DB (37054), Tenable (84413), SecurityFocus (BID 74353†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-50003†). Similar entries are available at VDB-102624, VDB-102623, VDB-102625 and VDB-102626.
