normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Basic Usage

msf > use auxiliary/gather/ibm_bigfix_sites_packages_enum
msf auxiliary(ibm_bigfix_sites_packages_enum) > show targets
    ... a list of targets ...
msf auxiliary(ibm_bigfix_sites_packages_enum) > set TARGET target-id
msf auxiliary(ibm_bigfix_sites_packages_enum) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(ibm_bigfix_sites_packages_enum) > exploit

Required Options

Knowledge Base

Description

This module performs unauthenticated requests to retrieve masthead, sites, and packages information from IBM BigFix Relay Servers. If the DOWNLOAD option is set then the module will attempt to download the identified packages. This module has been tested against Relay Server 9.5.10.79.

Vulnerable Application

BigFix Platform 9.2 - 9.2.16 and 9.5 - 9.5.11

Options

SHOW_MASTHEAD

Default: true. Read Organization name from /masthead/masthead.axfm

SHOW_PACKAGES

Default true. Read Action values and packages names from /cgi-bin/bfenterprise/BESMirrorRequest.exe

SHOW_SITES

Default true. Read Site URLs from /cgi-bin/bfenterprise/clientregister.exe?RequestType=FetchCommands

DOWNLOAD

Default true. Attempt to download identified packages.

ShowURL

Default false. Show full URL for the packages instead of the filename.

Verification Steps

./msfconsole -q
use auxiliary/gather/ibm_bigfix_sites_packages_enum
set rhosts <rhost>
