This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting AlienVault 4.6.1 and below (CVE-2014-5383). The module exploits an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the 'newpolicyform.php' script, specifically via the 'insertafter' GET parameter. By leveraging the SQL injection, the module can read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem using the MySQL LOAD_FILE() function. The exploit requires valid user credentials (administrator privileges are not necessary) and interacts with the web interface over HTTPS (default port 443). The module first authenticates to the application, then iteratively extracts the contents of the specified file in 50-byte chunks, storing the result as loot in Metasploit. The main endpoints involved are '/ossim/session/login.php' for authentication and '/ossim/policy/newpolicyform.php' for the SQL injection. The default file targeted for reading is '/etc/passwd', but this can be changed by the user. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a typical Metasploit module, making it easy to use within the framework.
