MaxDB WebDBM Database Parameter Overflow
Description
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the MaxDB WebDBM service. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP request that contains an overly long database name. A remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with privileges of the wahttp process. This module has been tested against MaxDB 7.6.00.16 and MaxDB 7.6.00.27.

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.
