Metasploit Web UI Diagnostic Console Command Execution
Description
This module exploits the "diagnostic console" feature in the Metasploit Web UI to obtain a reverse shell. The diagnostic console is able to be enabled or disabled by an administrator on Metasploit Pro and by an authenticated user on Metasploit Express and Metasploit Community. When enabled, the diagnostic console provides access to msfconsole via the web interface. An authenticated user can then use the console to execute shell commands. NOTE: Valid credentials are required for this module. Tested against: Metasploit Community 4.1.0, Metasploit Community 4.8.2, Metasploit Community 4.12.0

- 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.
