This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2013-2050) in Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine 5.1 and ManageIQ Enterprise Virtualization Manager 5.0 and earlier. The exploit allows an attacker with valid credentials to reset the password of any user account (default: 'admin') by exploiting a SQL injection in the 'explorer' action of the 'miq_policy' controller. The module constructs and sends crafted HTTP requests (GET or POST) to the /miq_policy/explorer endpoint, injecting SQL to update the password field in the database. It then verifies the password reset by attempting to authenticate to /dashboard/authenticate. The exploit is operational, providing a working method to gain unauthorized access to user accounts by resetting their passwords. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with configurable options for target username, password, and HTTP method.
