Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
PayPal is a global e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to 
be made through the Internet. Online money 
transfers serve as electronic alternatives to paying with traditional paper 
methods, such as checks and money orders. Originally, 
a PayPal account could be funded with an electronic debit from a bank account 
or by a credit card at the payer s choice. But some 
time in 2010 or early 2011, PayPal began to require a verified bank account 
after the account holder exceeded a predetermined 
spending limit. After that point, PayPal will attempt to take funds for a 
purchase from funding sources according to a specified 
funding hierarchy. If you set one of the funding sources as Primary, it will 
default to that, within that level of the hierarchy 
(for example, if your credit card ending in 4567 is set as the Primary over 
1234, it will still attempt to pay money out of your 
PayPal balance, before it attempts to charge your credit card). The funding 
hierarchy is a balance in the PayPal account; a 
PayPal credit account, PayPal Extras, PayPal SmartConnect, PayPal Extras Master 
Card or Bill Me Later (if selected as primary 
funding source) (It can bypass the Balance); a verified bank account; other 
funding sources, such as non-PayPal credit cards.
The recipient of a PayPal transfer can either request a check from PayPal, 
establish their own PayPal deposit account or request 
a transfer to their bank account.

PayPal is an acquirer, performing payment processing for online vendors, 
auction sites, and other commercial users, for which it 
charges a fee. It may also charge a fee for receiving money, proportional to 
the amount received. The fees depend on the currency 
used, the payment option used, the country of the sender, the country of the 
recipient, the amount sent and the recipient s account 
type. In addition, eBay purchases made by credit card through PayPal may incur 
extra fees if the buyer and seller use different currencies.

On October 3, 2002, PayPal became a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay. Its 
corporate headquarters are in San Jose, California, United 
States at eBay s North First Street satellite office campus. The company also 
has significant operations in Omaha, Nebraska, Scottsdale, 
Arizona, and Austin, Texas, in the United States, Chennai, Dublin, Kleinmachnow 
(near Berlin) and Tel Aviv. As of July 2007, across 
Europe, PayPal also operates as a Luxembourg-based bank.

On March 17, 2010, PayPal entered into an agreement with China UnionPay (CUP), 
China s bankcard association, to allow Chinese consumers 
to use PayPal to shop online.PayPal is planning to expand its workforce in Asia 
to 2,000 by the end of the year 2010.

Abstract Advisory Information:
==============================
An independent Vulnerability Laboratory Researcher discovered a remote code 
execution vulnerability in the official PayPal Inc Marketing online-service 
web-application.

Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
PayPal Inc
Product: Marketing Application & Service (HK) 2015 Q2


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
Critical


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A remote code execution vulnerability has been discovered in the JDWP protocol 
of the PayPal Inc Marketing online service web-server.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute system specific code 
against a target system to compromise the webserver.

The Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) is the protocol used for communication 
between a debugger and the Java virtual machine (VM) which it 
debugs (hereafter called the target VM). JDWP is one layer within the Java 
Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA). JDWP does not use any 
authentication and could be abused by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on 
the affected server. 

The tool that i used to disclose is the jdwp-shellifier. I scanned the 
marketing site and it had opened port 8000 (pre-auth) than i just 
executed after accepted connection my commands and finally disclosed a remote 
code execution issue.

Vulnerable Protocol(s):
                                [+] JDWP

Port(s):
                                [+] 8000


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The remote code execution web vulnerability can be exploited by remote 
attackers without privileged application user account or user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the security vulnerability follow 
the provided information and steps below to continue.

Manual steps to reproduce the security vulnerability ...
1. Scan the site with the jdwp-shellifier tool 
(https://github.com/IOActive/jdwp-shellifier)
2. Open port 8000 and connect to the service without auth
3. Execute own server-side commands as root user
4. Successful reproduce of the vulnerability!

Note: Please watch the poc demo video!


Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
2015-04-09: Vendor Fix/Patch (PayPal Inc - Developer Team)


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the remote code execution vulnerability in the jdwp 
protocol is estimated as critical. (CVSS 9.3)
