Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Pandora FMS 5.0RC1 and lower. It will leverage an unauthenticated command injection in the Anyterm service on port 8023/TCP. Commands are executed as the user "pandora". In Pandora FMS 4.1 and 5.0RC1 the user "artica" is not assigned a password by default, which makes it possible to su to this user from the "pandora" user. The "artica" user has access to sudo without a password, which makes it possible to escalate privileges to root. However, Pandora FMS 4.0 and lower force a password for the "artica" user during installation.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
