CVE-2012-5932 is an eval injection vulnerability in the ldapagnt_eval function within ldapagnt.dll, used by unifid.exe in NetIQ Privileged User Manager 2.3.x prior to 2.3.1 HF2. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Perl code by sending a specially crafted application/x-amf request, which is improperly evaluated by the vulnerable function.

This repository contains a Metasploit module targeting a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2012-5932) in NetIQ Privileged User Manager 2.3.1 on Windows 2003 SP2. The exploit abuses a lack of authorization in the 'ldapagnt' module of the unifid.exe service, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary Perl code remotely. The module works by sending a crafted POST request to the target's root HTTP(S) endpoint, exploiting the eval functionality to drop and execute a VBS script. This script downloads a payload EXE (such as a Meterpreter shell) from the attacker's HTTP server and executes it with SYSTEM privileges. The module is fully weaponized, allowing for customizable payloads and automated cleanup of dropped files. The only file in the repository is a Ruby script structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, making use of Metasploit's HttpServer, HttpClient, and FileDropper mixins.
