Description

This module exploits a SQL query functionality in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer v10.6
build 10060 and previous versions. Every authenticated user, including the default "guest"
account can execute SQL queries directly on the underlying Postgres database server. The
queries are executed as the "postgres" user which has full privileges and thus is able to
write files to disk. This way a JSP payload can be uploaded and executed with SYSTEM
privileges on the web server. This module has been tested successfully on ManageEngine
EventLog Analyzer 10.0 (build 10003) over Windows 7 SP1.
