A vulnerability in radexecd.exe in Persistent Systems Radia Client Automation (RCA) versions 7.9, 8.1, 9.0, and 9.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by sending a specially crafted request to TCP port 3465. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input, leading to command injection.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/misc/persistent_hpca_radexec_exec.rb) that exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2015-1497) in HP (Persistent Systems) Client Automation 9.00. The vulnerability resides in the radexecd.exe Notify Daemon, which by default does not authenticate execution requests on TCP port 3465. The exploit allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as a privileged user on both Windows and Linux targets. The module supports both platforms, using a VBS-based command stager for Windows and direct shell command injection for Linux. The exploit is operational and can deliver custom payloads, such as reverse shells or Meterpreter sessions. The only fingerprintable network endpoint is TCP port 3465, and the main target is the radexecd.exe service. The repository is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
