CVE-2013-10044 is an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability affecting OpenEMR version 4.1.1 Patch 14 and earlier. The issue allows a low-privileged authenticated user to inject SQL queries and extract sensitive data from the backend database, including administrator credentials. By obtaining administrator credentials, the attacker can escalate privileges within the application. The provided context further indicates that, after privilege escalation, the attacker can abuse an unrestricted file upload flaw to achieve remote code execution, leading to full compromise of the OpenEMR application and potentially the underlying host system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting OpenEMR version 4.1.1 Patch 14 and lower (CVE-2013-10044). The exploit leverages a SQL injection vulnerability in 'new_comprehensive_save.php' to extract the admin password hash while authenticated as any non-admin user. Using this hash, it logs in as the admin user and abuses the 'manage_site_files.php' functionality to upload a PHP payload (webshell). The payload is then executed by requesting it from the '/sites/default/images/' directory, resulting in remote code execution. The module is written in Ruby and is structured according to Metasploit conventions, using the HttpClient and FileDropper mixins. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring HTTP(S) access to the vulnerable OpenEMR instance. The module requires valid non-admin credentials to initiate the attack. All endpoints and actions are clearly defined within the module, and the exploit is operational, providing a working remote code execution path.
