This module exploits a SQL injection vulnerability in WhatsUp Gold, by changing the password of an existing user (such as of the default admin account) to an attacker-controlled one. WhatsUp Gold versions < v24.0.0 are affected.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/admin/http/whatsup_gold_sqli
msf auxiliary(whatsup_gold_sqli) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(whatsup_gold_sqli) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(whatsup_gold_sqli) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(whatsup_gold_sqli) > run
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
