CVE-2008-0926 describes a vulnerability in the SOAP interface to the eMBox module in Novell eDirectory versions 8.7.3.9 and earlier, and 8.8.x before 8.8.2 (including 8.7.3.10). The vulnerability arises because the SOAP interface relies on client-side authentication, which can be bypassed by remote attackers making requests to /SOAP URIs. Successful exploitation allows attackers to bypass authentication, potentially causing a denial of service (daemon shutdown) or reading arbitrary files on the system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting Novell eDirectory's eMBox service (CVE-2008-0926). The module exploits an unauthenticated SOAP interface exposed on TCP port 8028, allowing remote attackers to perform administrative actions without credentials. Supported actions include retrieving the server's distinguished name (GET_DN), reading all log files (READ_LOGS), listing available services (LIST_SERVICES), starting and stopping services (START_SERVICE, STOP_SERVICE), and manipulating log files (SET_LOGFILE). The module constructs and sends crafted SOAP XML requests to the /SOAP endpoint, parses the responses, and outputs the results. The exploit is operational and provides significant unauthorized access to the target system's administrative functions. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module.
