Cogent DataHub Command Injection
Description
This module exploits an injection vulnerability in Cogent DataHub prior to 7.3.5. The vulnerability exists in the GetPermissions.asp page, which makes insecure use of the datahub_command function with user controlled data, allowing execution of arbitrary datahub commands and scripts. This module has been tested successfully with Cogent DataHub 7.3.4 on Windows 7 SP1. Please also note that after exploitation, the remote service will most likely hang and restart manually.

- 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.
