A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the irccd.exe service of EMC Replication Manager Client prior to version 5.3 and in NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications 2.1.x and 2.2.x. The vulnerability is due to improper handling of input to the RunProgram function exposed on TCP port 6542, allowing remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/emc/replication_manager_exec.rb) that exploits a remote command injection vulnerability (CVE-2011-0647) in EMC Replication Manager client (irccd.exe) versions prior to 5.3. The exploit works by connecting to the target's TCP port 6542, performing a handshake, starting a session, and then sending a specially crafted XML message invoking the RunProgram function to execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM. The module uses Metasploit's command stager with a VBS flavor to deliver the payload, allowing for flexible command execution. The exploit is operational and provides full remote code execution on vulnerable systems. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the TCP port 6542, which is the default port for the vulnerable service. The code is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of initialization, exploitation, and command execution logic.
