Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow on the Supermicro Onboard IPMI controller web interface. The vulnerability exists on the close_window.cgi CGI application, and is due to the insecure usage of strcpy. In order to get a session, the module will execute system() from libc with an arbitrary CMD payload sent on the User-Agent header. This module has been tested successfully on Supermicro Onboard IPMI (X9SCL/X9SCM) with firmware SMT_X9_214.

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.
