CVE-2014-8270 is a vulnerability in BMC Track-It! 11.3 where the password reset functionality allows remote attackers to create an account with the same name as a local system account and then reset its password. This enables attackers to gain privileges and potentially execute arbitrary code by obtaining administrator credentials without authentication.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting BMC TrackIt! (version 11.3 and prior) for CVE-2014-8270. The module exploits a flaw in the password reset mechanism, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to arbitrarily reset the password of any user, including domain administrators, if the password reset service is configured with domain admin credentials (the recommended setup). The exploit works by interacting with the /PasswordReset, /PasswordReset/Application/Register, and /PasswordReset/Application/ResetPassword HTTP endpoints on the target system. The module first checks if the target is vulnerable by extracting the Track-It! version, then registers a user for password reset, and finally resets the password to a value of the attacker's choosing (or a random value). The exploit is operational and can be used to gain administrative access to the target system. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be run within the Metasploit framework.
