A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Oracle Database Server 10g within the SYS.DBMS_CDC_SUBSCRIBE and SYS.DBMS_CDC_ISUBSCRIBE packages. The vulnerability is due to improper sanitization of the SUBSCRIPTION_NAME parameter, allowing remote authenticated users to inject and execute arbitrary SQL commands with elevated privileges. This is distinct from CVE-2005-1197 and affects the Change Data Capture (CDC) subscription management routines.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a SQL injection vulnerability in Oracle Database Server's SYS.DBMS_CDC_SUBSCRIBE.ACTIVATE_SUBSCRIPTION package (CVE-2005-4832). The exploit allows an attacker with valid database credentials to execute arbitrary SQL as the database user, with the default action being privilege escalation to DBA. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's Oracle exploitation mixins. The main exploit logic creates a malicious PL/SQL function, triggers the SQL injection via the vulnerable package, and then cleans up by removing the function. The attack vector is network-based, requiring access to the Oracle database service. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the vulnerable Oracle package/function. The repository is operational in maturity, providing a working exploit for supported Oracle versions.
