CVE-2017-12557 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Hewlett Packard Enterprise Intelligent Management Center (iMC) PLAT version 7.3 E0504P2 and earlier. The flaw resides in the WebDMDebugServlet component, which listens on TCP ports 8080 and 8443 by default. The vulnerability is caused by improper validation of user-supplied data, leading to deserialization of untrusted data. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM on the affected system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2017-12557) in Hewlett Packard Enterprise Intelligent Management Center (IMC) 7.3 E0504P2 and earlier on Windows. The exploit leverages a Java deserialization flaw in the WebDMDebugServlet, which is accessible via HTTP on TCP ports 8080 or 8443. The module sends a crafted serialized Java object (using the ysoserial JSON1 gadget) to the vulnerable servlet, resulting in arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM. The module includes both a check method (to verify vulnerability) and an exploit method (to deliver the payload). The only file present is a Ruby script structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, making use of Metasploit's Java deserialization utilities and HTTP client mixins. No hardcoded IPs or external domains are present; all targeting is via user-supplied host and port. The exploit is weaponized, allowing for customizable payloads via the Metasploit framework.
