This Metasploit module leverages an insecure deserialization of data to get remote code execution on the target OS in the context of the user running the website which utilized AjaxPro. To achieve code execution, the module will construct some JSON data which will be sent to the target. This data will be deserialized   show more ...  

by the AjaxPro JsonDeserializer and will trigger the execution of the payload. All AjaxPro versions prior to 21.10.30.1 are vulnerable to this issue, and a vulnerable method which can be used to trigger the deserialization exists in the default AjaxPro namespace. AjaxPro 21.10.30.1 removed the vulnerable method, but if a custom method that accepts a parameter of type that is assignable from ObjectDataProvider (e.g. object) exists, the vulnerability can still be exploited. This module has been tested successfully against official AjaxPro on version 7.7.31.1 without any modification, and on version 21.10.30.1 with a custom vulnerable method added.

This Metasploit module exploits a flaw in F5's BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMU) that enables an external, unauthenticated attacker to create an administrative user. Once the user is created, the module uses the new account to execute a command payload. Both the exploit and check methods automatically delete any temporary accounts that are created.

This Metasploit module exploits a command injection vulnerability in MagnusBilling application versions 6.x and 7.x that allows remote attackers to run arbitrary commands via an unauthenticated HTTP request. A piece of demonstration code is present in lib/icepay/icepay.php, with a call to an exec(). The parameter to   show more ...  

exec() includes the GET parameter democ, which is controlled by the user and not properly sanitised/escaped. After successful exploitation, an unauthenticated user is able to execute arbitrary OS commands. The commands run with the privileges of the web server process, typically www-data or asterisk. At a minimum, this allows an attacker to compromise the billing system and its database.
