CVE-2017-7581 is an SQL injection vulnerability in NewsController.php in the TYPO3 News module through version 5.3.2. Insufficient handling of the overwriteDemand input, specifically parameters involving order and OrderByAllowed, allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2017-7581) in the TYPO3 news module (version 5.3.2 and earlier). The exploit leverages a blind SQL injection in the NewsController.php, specifically via the 'overwriteDemand' and 'OrderByAllowed' POST parameters, to extract the administrator's username and password hash from the backend user table. The module is designed to work against TYPO3 installations with at least two news articles (for pattern matching) and requires the attacker to specify the TYPO3 base path and news page ID. The code is written in Ruby and uses Metasploit's HTTP client mixin to send crafted POST requests to '/index.php'. The exploit is operational, providing credential extraction but not a direct shell or code execution. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file within the Metasploit framework's auxiliary modules directory.
