LibreNMS Collectd Command Injection
Description
This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in the Collectd graphing functionality in LibreNMS. The `to` and `from` parameters used to define the range for a graph are sanitized using the `mysqli_escape_real_string()` function, which permits backticks. These parameters are used as part of a shell command that gets executed via the `passthru()` function, which can result in code execution.

- 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.
