Description

This module exploits a code execution flaw in AlienVault 4.6.1 and prior. The vulnerability exists in the av-centerd SOAP web service, where the update_system_info_debian_package method uses perl backticks in an insecure way, allowing command injection. This module has been tested successfully on AlienVault 4.6.0.

Module Options

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/ids/alienvault_centerd_soap_exec
msf exploit(alienvault_centerd_soap_exec) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(alienvault_centerd_soap_exec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(alienvault_centerd_soap_exec) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(alienvault_centerd_soap_exec) > 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.
