This module will escalate an Oracle DB user to DBA by exploiting a sql injection bug in the SYS.DBMS_CDC_SUBSCRIBE.ACTIVATE_SUBSCRIPTION package/function. This vulnerability affects to Oracle Database Server 9i up to 9.2.0.5 and 10g up to 10.1.0.4.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/sqli/oracle/dbms_cdc_subscribe_activate_subscription
msf auxiliary(dbms_cdc_subscribe_activate_subscription) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(dbms_cdc_subscribe_activate_subscription) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(dbms_cdc_subscribe_activate_subscription) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(dbms_cdc_subscribe_activate_subscription) > 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.
