Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2012-2962 is an SQL injection vulnerability in the d4d/statusFilter.php endpoint of Plixer Scrutinizer, also known as Dell SonicWALL Scrutinizer, before version 9.5.2. An authenticated remote user can supply crafted SQL through the q parameter, causing arbitrary SQL commands to be executed against the Scrutinizer database.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2012-2962) in Dell SonicWALL (Plixer) Scrutinizer version 9.5.1 and earlier. The exploit leverages improper sanitization of the 'q' parameter in the '/d4d/statusFilter.php' endpoint to inject SQL commands. This allows the attacker to write a PHP payload (webshell) to the web server's HTML directory (default: 'C:\Program Files\Scrutinizer\html\'), specifically under the '/d4d/' subdirectory. Once the payload is written, it is accessed via HTTP to achieve remote code execution. The exploit does not require authentication and is operational, providing a working method for arbitrary code execution on vulnerable systems. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with clear separation of initialization, vulnerability checking, and exploitation logic.
