Github Enterprise Default Session Secret And Deserialization Vulnerability
Description
This module exploits two security issues in Github Enterprise, version 2.8.0 - 2.8.6. The first is that the session management uses a hard-coded secret value, which can be abused to sign a serialized malicious Ruby object. The second problem is due to the use of unsafe deserialization, which allows the malicious Ruby object to be loaded, and results in arbitrary remote code execution. This exploit was tested against version 2.8.0.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
