This module exploits a buffer overflow within the CA Unified Infrastructure Management nimcontroller. The vulnerability occurs in the robot (controller) component when sending a specially crafted directory_list probe. Technically speaking the target host must also be vulnerable to CVE-2020-8010 in order to reach the directory_list probe.
Windows
x64
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/nimsoft/nimcontroller_bof
msf exploit(nimcontroller_bof) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(nimcontroller_bof) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(nimcontroller_bof) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(nimcontroller_bof) > 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.
