This module exploits a command injection vulnerability on HP Client Automation, distributed actually as Persistent Systems Client Automation. The vulnerability exists in the Notify Daemon (radexecd.exe), which doesn't authenticate execution requests by default. This module has been tested successfully on HP Client Automation 9.00 on Windows 2003 SP2 and CentOS 5.

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/misc/persistent_hpca_radexec_exec
msf exploit(persistent_hpca_radexec_exec) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(persistent_hpca_radexec_exec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(persistent_hpca_radexec_exec) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(persistent_hpca_radexec_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.
