Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in VICIdial versions 2.9 RC 1 to 2.13 RC1 which allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary operating system commands as the web server user if password encryption is enabled (disabled by default). When password encryption is enabled the user's password supplied using HTTP basic authentication is used in a call to exec(). This module has been tested successfully on version 2.11 RC2 and 2.13 RC1 on CentOS.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/unix/webapp/vicidial_user_authorization_unauth_cmd_exec
msf exploit(vicidial_user_authorization_unauth_cmd_exec) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(vicidial_user_authorization_unauth_cmd_exec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(vicidial_user_authorization_unauth_cmd_exec) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(vicidial_user_authorization_unauth_cmd_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.
