Loading vulnerability…
HP Data Protector Client improperly validates arguments passed to EXEC_CMD. A remote attacker can supply a crafted command associated with the local bin directory and cause arbitrary Perl code to be executed.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting HP Data Protector 6.1 on Windows. The module exploits a vulnerability (CVE-2011-0923) in the omniinet process, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary files on the target system as SYSTEM by sending a specially crafted EXEC_CMD packet over TCP port 5555. The module requires the attacker to specify the path to an executable file on the target (default: C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe). The exploit is operational and can be used to gain SYSTEM-level code execution, provided the specified file exists on the target. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, with options for target port and command. No detection or fake code is present; this is a real exploit module.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module (hp_data_protector_cmd_exec.rb) that exploits a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2011-0923) in HP Data Protector versions 6.10, 6.11, and 6.20 running on Linux. The exploit targets the service listening on TCP port 5555 and abuses the EXEC_CMD command to traverse to /bin/sh, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands as root. The module constructs a specially crafted packet and sends it to the target service, appending the attacker's payload for execution. The exploit is operational and provides a shell or command execution capability. The only fingerprintable endpoints are the default TCP port 5555 and the use of /bin/sh on the target. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
