Description

This module exploits XXE and SQL injection flaws in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager versions 11.0, 12.0 and 12.1. When supplying a specially crafted XML external entity (XXE) request an attacker can reach SQL injection affected components. As xp_cmdshell is enabled in the included database instance, it's possible to execute arbitrary system commands on the target with SYSTEM privileges.

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/windows/antivirus/symantec_endpoint_manager_rce
msf exploit(symantec_endpoint_manager_rce) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(symantec_endpoint_manager_rce) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(symantec_endpoint_manager_rce) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(symantec_endpoint_manager_rce) > 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.
