HP VAN SDN Controller Root Command Injection
Description
This module exploits a hardcoded service token or default credentials in HPE VAN SDN Controller <= 2.7.18.0503 to execute a payload as root. A root command injection was discovered in the uninstall action's name parameter, obviating the need to use sudo for privilege escalation. If the service token option TOKEN is blank, USERNAME and PASSWORD will be used for authentication. An additional login request will be sent.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
