CVE-2016-6602 describes a vulnerability in Zoho WebNMS Framework versions 5.2 and 5.2 SP1, where a weak obfuscation algorithm is used to store passwords in the WEB-INF/conf/securitydbData.xml file. Attackers with access to this file can trivially recover cleartext passwords due to the insufficient obfuscation. This issue can be combined with CVE-2016-6601 (arbitrary file download) to enable remote, unauthenticated attackers to obtain all user credentials.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting WebNMS Framework Server 5.2 and 5.2 SP1 (Windows and Linux). The module exploits two vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-6601 and CVE-2016-6602): an unauthenticated file download via the FetchFile servlet, and weak password obfuscation. The exploit sends HTTP GET requests to download the 'conf/securitydbData.xml' file, which contains user credentials, and then deobfuscates the passwords using a custom algorithm. Extracted credentials are saved in a CSV file. The module is operational and can be used to extract all user credentials from a vulnerable WebNMS server without authentication. The only file in the repository is a Ruby script designed for use within the Metasploit framework.
