This module abuses an XML External Entity Injection vulnerability on the OpenID module from Drupal. The vulnerability exists in the parsing of a malformed XRDS file coming from a malicious OpenID endpoint. This module has been tested successfully on Drupal 7.15 and 7.2 with the OpenID module enabled.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/gather/drupal_openid_xxe
msf auxiliary(drupal_openid_xxe) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(drupal_openid_xxe) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(drupal_openid_xxe) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(drupal_openid_xxe) > 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.
