## # This module requires Metasploit: http://metasploit.com/download # Current source: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework ## class MetasploitModule < Msf::Exploit::Remote Rank = ExcellentRanking include Msf::Exploit::Remote::HttpClient include Msf::Exploit::FileDropper def initialize(info={}) super(update_info(info, 'Name' => "ManageEngine Applications Manager < 14.0 - Authentication Bypass / Remote Command Execution", 'Description' => %q( This module exploits sqli and command injection vulnerability in the ManageEngine AM 14 and prior versions. It is completely different from the previous EDB-ID:46725 exploit. Module creates a new admin user with SQLi (MSSQL/PostgreSQL) and provides authentication bypass. Therefore an unauthenticated user can gain the authority of "system" on the server. It uploads malicious file using the "Execute Program Action(s)" feature of the app with the new admin account.
