This module exploits a vulnerability in Eaton Network Shutdown Module version <= 3.21, in lib/dbtools.inc which uses unsanitized user input inside a eval() call. Additionally the base64 encoded user credentials are extracted from the database of the application. Please note that in order to be able to steal credentials, the vulnerable service must have at least one USV module (an entry in the "nodes" table in mgedb.db)

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/multi/http/eaton_nsm_code_exec
msf exploit(eaton_nsm_code_exec) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(eaton_nsm_code_exec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(eaton_nsm_code_exec) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(eaton_nsm_code_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.
