Module Overview

Name: HP Data Protector 6.1 EXEC_CMD Command Execution
Module: auxiliary/admin/hp/hp_data_protector_cmd
Source code: modules/auxiliary/admin/hp/hp_data_protector_cmd.rb
Disclosure date: 2011-02-07
Last modification time: 2022-01-23 15:28:32 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): -
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): 5555
List of CVEs: CVE-2011-0923

This module exploits HP Data Protector's omniinet process, specifically against a Windows setup. When an EXEC_CMD packet is sent, omniinet.exe will attempt to look for that user-supplied filename with kernel32!FindFirstFileW(). If the file is found, the process will then go ahead execute it with CreateProcess() under a new thread. If the filename isn't found, FindFirstFileW() will throw an error (0x03), and then bails early without triggering CreateProcess(). Because of these behaviors, if you try to supply an argument, FindFirstFileW() will look at that as part of the filename, and then bail. Please note that when you specify the 'CMD' option, the base path begins under C:.
