Packet Fence 4.4.0
PacketFence is a network access control (NAC) system. It is actively maintained and has been deployed in numerous large-scale institutions. It can be used to effectively secure networks, from small to very large heterogeneous networks. PacketFence provides NAC-oriented features such as registration of new network devices, detection of abnormal network activities including from remote snort sensors, isolation of problematic devices, remediation through a captive portal, and registration-based and scheduled vulnerability scans.
ManageEngine Eventlog Analyzer Arbitrary File Upload
This Metasploit module exploits a file upload vulnerability in ManageEngine Eventlog Analyzer. The vulnerability exists in the agentUpload servlet which accepts unauthenticated file uploads and handles zip file contents in a insecure way. By combining both weaknesses a remote attacker can achieve remote code execution. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on versions v7.0 – v9.9 b9002 in Windows and Linux. Versions between 7.0 and < 8.1 are only exploitable via EAR deployment in the JBoss server, while versions 8.1+ are only exploitable via a JSP upload.
Railo 4.2.1 Remote File Inclusion
This Metasploit module exploits a remote file include vulnerability in Railo, tested against version 4.2.1. First, a call using a vulnerable cffile line in thumbnail.cfm allows an attacker to download an arbitrary PNG file. By appending a .cfm, and taking advantage of a directory traversal, an attacker can append cold fusion markup to the PNG file, and have it interpreted by the server. This is used to stage and execute a fully-fledged payload.
SolarWinds Storage Manager Authentication Bypass
This Metasploit module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability in Solarwinds Storage Manager. The vulnerability exists in the AuthenticationFilter, which allows to bypass authentication with specially crafted URLs. After bypassing authentication, is possible to use a file upload function to achieve remote code execution. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully in Solarwinds Store Manager Server 5.1.0 and 5.7.1 on Windows 32 bits, Windows 64 bits and Linux 64 bits operating systems.
Lynis Auditing Tool 1.6.1
Lynis is an auditing tool for Unix (specialists). It scans the system and available software to detect security issues. Beside security related information it will also scan for general system information, installed packages and configuration mistakes. This software aims in assisting automated auditing, software patch management, vulnerability and malware scanning of Unix based systems.
