Description

This module exploits a command injection flaw within Oracle\'s VM Server Virtual Server Agent (ovs-agent) service. By including shell meta characters within the second parameter to the 'utl_test_url' XML-RPC methodCall, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands. The service typically runs with root privileges. NOTE: Valid credentials are required to trigger this vulnerable. The username appears to be hardcoded as 'oracle', but the password is set by the administrator at installation time.

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.
