The RSCD agent in BMC Server Automation before 8.6 SP1 Patch 2 and 8.7 before Patch 3 on Windows contains a vulnerability that may allow remote attackers to bypass authorization checks and make unauthorized RPC calls. The specific vectors for exploitation are not disclosed.

This repository contains four Python scripts targeting vulnerabilities in the BMC BladeLogic RSCD agent (CVE-2016-1542, CVE-2016-1543, CVE-2016-5063) on both Linux and Windows platforms. The scripts are: - BMC_changePwd.py: Exploits the agent to change the password of an arbitrary user without authorization by sending crafted XMLRPC requests over a TLS-wrapped socket. - BMC_getUsers.py: Enumerates system users (both Linux and Windows) by querying the agent via XMLRPC, parsing the returned XML data. - BMC_rexec.py: Achieves remote code execution by sending arbitrary commands to the agent using XMLRPC. This is the most critical exploit, allowing attackers to run any command on the target system. - BMC_winUsers.py: Specifically targets Windows agents to enumerate user accounts and gather system information. All scripts use Python and require the attacker to specify the target host and (optionally) port. The default port is 4750, which is the standard for the RSCD agent. The exploits work by establishing a TLS connection, then sending HTTP/XMLRPC requests to the '/xmlrpc' endpoint. The README provides context, references, and credits, and confirms the scripts have been published on Exploit-DB. The repository is operational in maturity, providing working exploit code for remote code execution, password changes, and user enumeration against vulnerable BMC BladeLogic RSCD agents.
