ManageEngine Endpoint Central Unauthenticated SAML RCE

Description

This exploits an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability that affects Zoho ManageEngine Endpoint Central and MSP versions 10.1.2228.10 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 Due to a dependency to an outdated library (Apache Santuario version 1.4.1), it is possible to execute arbitrary code by providing a crafted `samlResponse` XML to the Endpoint Central SAML endpoint. Note that the target is only vulnerable if it is configured with SAML-based SSO , and the service should be active.

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.
