CVE-2012-10047 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Cyclope Employee Surveillance Solution 6.x affecting the login mechanism. The username parameter supplied to the auth-login POST request is not properly sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries. An attacker can inject arbitrary SQL statements through this parameter. According to the provided content, the SQL injection can be leveraged to write a malicious PHP file to disk and then execute it, resulting in remote code execution. The resulting code execution occurs in the context of the SYSTEM user.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/http/cyclope_ess_sqli.rb) targeting Cyclope Employee Surveillance Solution v6.2 or older. The exploit leverages a SQL injection vulnerability in the web application's login functionality, allowing an attacker to write a malicious PHP file to the server's filesystem. This PHP file, when accessed, decodes and writes an EXE payload (generated by Metasploit) to disk and executes it, resulting in arbitrary code execution under the SYSTEM context. The module includes version fingerprinting, payload generation, and cleanup routines. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the web interface (default port 7879). The exploit is operational and provides a Meterpreter session or other payload as configured. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
