OrientDB versions through 2.2.22 fail to enforce privilege requirements when processing queries that use the 'where', 'fetchplan', or 'order by' clauses. This allows remote attackers to craft requests that bypass intended access controls and execute arbitrary operating system commands.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/orientdb_exec.rb) that exploits a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2017-11467) in OrientDB versions 2.2.2 through 2.2.22. The exploit leverages a privilege escalation flaw to create and execute unsandboxed OS commands via the OrientDB REST API. The module supports Linux, Unix, and Windows targets, and can deliver arbitrary payloads using Metasploit's command stagers. The attacker must have valid HTTP Basic Auth credentials (default: writer/writer). The exploit interacts with several OrientDB HTTP endpoints to list databases, create and trigger malicious functions, and manage user privileges. The code is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and supports customizable payloads. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file implementing the exploit logic, with clear separation of functions for checking vulnerability, executing commands, and cleaning up after exploitation.
