Technical Analysis

The SharePoint WorkFlow component is affected by a vulnerability within .NET which can be abused to run arbitrary code when compiling XOML files. An authenticated user would need to issue an HTTP request with crafted XOML-formatted data (for which there are public examples). The vulnerability was patched for on-premises installations of SharePoint on January 2020.

A correct crafted XOML request will result in extra C# code being written to a temporary file on disk as part of the exploitation process. This is how an OS command is then executed.

Both patched and unpatched systems will return compiler error information in the XML response to the HTTP request. A patched system will have an error stating "Compilation failed. The type name: ... is not a valid language-independent type name.". Malformed requests will include relevant information in the compiler error text, which is usually a character escaping issue. For best results escape all characters that are non-alphanumeric as unicode like \u####.
