Loading vulnerability…
AlienVault OSSIM versions before 4.7.0 contain a command-injection vulnerability in the av-centerd SOAP service. Crafted requests to the update_system_info_debian_package, ossec_task, sync_rserver, or set_ossim_setup operations—including the admin_ip and framework_ip parameters—can cause arbitrary command execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting AlienVault OSSIM (versions 4.6.1 and prior) for a remote command injection vulnerability (CVE-2014-3804). The exploit abuses the av-centerd SOAP web service, specifically the 'update_system_info_debian_package' method, which is vulnerable to command injection due to unsafe use of Perl backticks. The module constructs a malicious SOAP request to the /av-centerd endpoint (default port 40007, SSL enabled), injecting a base64-encoded payload that is executed on the target using Perl. The exploit provides remote code execution as a privileged user. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with methods for checking vulnerability, building SOAP requests, and sending the exploit payload. No detection-only or fake code is present; this is a functional exploit module.
