Description

This module scans for vulnerable N-able N-Central instances affected by
CVE-2025-9316 (Unauthenticated Session Bypass) and CVE-2025-11700 (XXE).

The module attempts to exploit CVE-2025-9316 by sending a sessionHello SOAP
request to the ServerMMS endpoint with various appliance IDs to obtain an
unauthenticated session. If successful, it then tests for CVE-2025-11700
by writing an XXE payload file and triggering it via importServiceTemplateFromFile.

Files of interest that can be read via XXE:
- /opt/nable/var/ncsai/etc/ncbackup.conf
- /var/opt/n-central/tmp/ncbackup/ncbackup.bin (PostgreSQL dump)
- /opt/nable/etc/keystore.bcfks (encrypted keystore)
- /opt/nable/etc/masterPassword (keystore password)

Affected versions: N-Central
