openDCIM install.php SQL Injection to RCE

Description

This module exploits a SQL injection vulnerability in openDCIM's install.php
endpoint (CVE-2026-28515) to achieve remote code execution. The install.php
script remains accessible after installation and processes LDAP configuration
parameters via UpdateParameter() without authentication or input sanitization,
allowing stacked SQL queries.

The exploit chain works by injecting SQL through the LDAP configuration form
to overwrite the Graphviz dot binary path in fac_Config, then triggering
report_network_map.php which calls exec() with the poisoned value. A backup
of the original configuration is created before exploitation and restored
after payload delivery.

Tested against openDCIM 23.04 through 25.01 on Ubuntu with Apache.
