Nuuo Central Management Server User Session Token Bruteforce

Description

Nuuo Central Management Server below version 2.4 has a flaw where it sends the heap address of the user object instead of a real session number when a user logs in. This can be used to reduce the keyspace for the session number from 10 million to 1.2 million, and with a bit of analysis it can be guessed in less than 500k tries. This module does exactly that - it uses a computed occurrence table to try the most common combinations up to 1.2 million to try to guess a valid user session. This session number can then be used to achieve code execution or download files - see the other Nuuo CMS auxiliary and exploit modules. Note that for this to work a user has to be logged into the system.

Module Options

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/nuuo_cms_bruteforce
msf auxiliary(nuuo_cms_bruteforce) > show actions
    ...actions...
msf auxiliary(nuuo_cms_bruteforce) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(nuuo_cms_bruteforce) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(nuuo_cms_bruteforce) > 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.
