This module exploits CVE-2022-37393, which is a vulnerability in Zimbra's sudo configuration that permits the zimbra user to execute the zmslapd binary as root with arbitrary parameters. As part of its intended functionality, zmslapd can load a user-defined configuration file, which includes plugins in the form of .so files, which also execute as root.
Linux
x86, x64
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/local/zimbra_slapper_priv_esc
msf exploit(zimbra_slapper_priv_esc) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(zimbra_slapper_priv_esc) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(zimbra_slapper_priv_esc) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(zimbra_slapper_priv_esc) > 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.
