CVE-2014-3996 is a blind SQL injection vulnerability in the LinkViewFetchServlet servlet of several ManageEngine products, including Desktop Central (and MSP), Password Manager Pro (and MSP), and IT360 (and MSP), prior to specific patched versions. The vulnerability is triggered via the 'sv' parameter in LinkViewFetchServlet.dat, allowing remote attackers or authenticated users to inject arbitrary SQL commands. In most affected products, exploitation is possible without authentication via crafted GET requests. The vulnerability has existed in affected products since at least 2006.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby) that exploits an unauthenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2014-3996) in ManageEngine Desktop Central and Password Manager Pro. The exploit targets the LinkViewFetchServlet endpoint, allowing remote code execution as SYSTEM (Windows) or as the running user (Linux) by leveraging SQL injection to upload and execute a payload. The module supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL backends, with specific handling for different product versions and platforms. The exploit is operational and allows for customizable payloads via the Metasploit framework. The code includes logic to detect product versions and select the appropriate exploitation method. The main attack vector is network-based, exploiting HTTP endpoints exposed by the vulnerable applications. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
