RE: custom xp_cmdshell on SQL Server

Hi Andy,

1) The problem with CREATE PROCEDURE is that it has to be the first
statement in a batch query. Within a sql injection you are always, at least,
the second statement after the one you injected into.

2) Sometimes xp_cmdshell seems not to be working (especially if you are
doing it through openrowset which ends up being blind). You may have SQL
Server running with an unprivileged user. Did you try a ping to localhost
and check for the 4 sec delay? That almost always works.

3) Even if you do get execution by restoring xp_cmdshell, injecting through
openrowset has severe complications when trying complex queries. The best
way I have found to overcome these limitations is by temporarily increasing
privileges of the user you are going through.

' and 1=(select * from
openrowset('SQLOLEDB','DRIVER={SQLServer};SERVER=<server>;UID=sa;PWD=<passwo
rd>',N'select user; declare @u varchar(50); set @u = (select system_user);
exec master.dbo.sp_addsrvrolemember @u, ''sysadmin'''))--

Regards,
Victor Chapela
