Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in OpenEMR version 4.1.1 Patch 14 and lower. When logging in as any non-admin user, it's possible to retrieve the admin SHA1 password hash from the database through SQL injection. The SQL injection vulnerability exists in the "new_comprehensive_save.php" page. This hash can be used to log in as the admin user. After logging in, the "manage_site_files.php" page will be used to upload arbitrary code.

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.
