IBM Data Risk Manager a3user Default Password
Description
This module abuses a known default password in IBM Data Risk Manager. The 'a3user' has the default password 'idrm' and allows an attacker to log in to the virtual appliance via SSH. This can be escalate to full root access, as 'a3user' has sudo access with the default password. At the time of disclosure this was an 0day, but it was later confirmed and patched by IBM. Versions <= 2.0.6.1 are confirmed to be vulnerable.

- 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.
