Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2014-4977 describes multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Dell SonicWall Scrutinizer 11.0.1. Remote authenticated users can exploit these vulnerabilities by supplying crafted input to the selectedUserGroup parameter in cgi-bin/admin.cgi (create new user request), or to the user_id, methodDetail, and xcNetworkDetail parameters in various functions within d4d/exporters.php. These parameters are not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting Dell SonicWALL Scrutinizer 11.01 (Windows and Linux) via a SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2014-4977) in the 'methodDetail' parameter of 'exporters.php'. The exploit requires authentication, but uses default credentials (admin:admin) to log in. It leverages SQL injection to write a PHP backdoor to the server's file system (in the d4d directory), then uses this backdoor to upload and execute a custom payload (EXE for Windows, ELF for Linux), achieving remote code execution as SYSTEM or Apache. The module is weaponized, allowing easy payload customization through Metasploit. The main endpoints involved are '/cgi-bin/login.cgi' for authentication and '/exporters.php' for the SQL injection. The exploit is operational for both Windows and Linux appliances, and the code is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
