ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus Unauthenticated SAML RCE

Description

This exploits an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability that affects Zoho ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus versions 14003 and below (CVE-2022-47966). Due to a dependency to an outdated library (Apache Santuario version 1.4.1), it is possible to execute arbitrary code by providing a crafted `samlResponse` XML to the ServiceDesk Plus SAML endpoint. Note that the target is only vulnerable if it has been configured with SAML-based SSO at least once in the past, regardless of the current SAML-based SSO status.

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.
