CVE-2024-38472 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server on Windows caused by improper validation and handling of Windows UNC paths during request processing. Crafted requests or attacker-controlled content can cause httpd to access a UNC resource on an attacker-controlled host, coercing the server to initiate NTLM authentication. The issue is addressed in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60.

This repository contains a Metasploit exploit module (apache_unc_ssrf.rb) targeting a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server on Windows (CVE-2024-38472). The exploit leverages the SSRF to interact with internal services, such as Jenkins, potentially achieving remote code execution (RCE) if the internal service is vulnerable to command execution via HTTP requests. The module allows the attacker to specify the internal service URL and the command to execute, making it adaptable to different environments. It also supports specifying a malicious UNC path to capture NTLM hashes. The repository includes a detailed README explaining the attack strategy, usage instructions, and considerations for safe testing. The main exploit file is written in Ruby and is designed to be used within the Metasploit Framework. The attack vector is network-based, exploiting HTTP requests to the vulnerable Apache server, and the module is operational, requiring some adaptation to the target environment (e.g., identifying a suitable internal service for RCE).
