Loading vulnerability…
The NET_TCP_LISTEN function in net.c in Zabbix Agent before 1.6.7, when running on FreeBSD or Solaris, allows remote attackers to bypass the EnableRemoteCommands setting and execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the argument to net.tcp.listen. This vulnerability is only exploitable from trusted IP addresses as defined in the Zabbix Agent configuration.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/unix/misc/zabbix_agent_exec.rb) that exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2009-4502) in the Zabbix agent on FreeBSD and Solaris systems. The exploit targets the 'net.tcp.listen' command, injecting arbitrary shell commands via metacharacter injection. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to hijack the IP address of an authorized server as defined in the Zabbix agent's configuration. The module connects to the Zabbix agent's default TCP port 10050, sends a specially crafted request containing the payload, and achieves remote command execution if the target is vulnerable. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be used within the Metasploit framework. The repository is operational in maturity, providing a working exploit with customizable command payloads.
