BMC PATROL Agent through version 11.3.01 contains a vulnerability in the PatrolCli application, where authentication only checks for correct username and password, but does not verify the user's network permissions. As a result, any authenticated domain user can use PatrolCli to connect to a system running PATROL Agent (including domain controllers) and execute commands as SYSTEM, leading to privilege escalation and lateral movement within a Windows Active Directory environment.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'modules/exploits/multi/misc/bmc_patrol_cmd_exec.rb'. The module is designed to exploit a command execution vulnerability in BMC Patrol, a systems management platform. The exploit leverages a network-based attack vector, connecting to the target's TCP service and sending specially crafted data to achieve remote code execution. The module includes custom cryptographic routines (DES-based) to interact with the protocol used by BMC Patrol. As a Metasploit module, it supports a variety of payloads, including reverse shells and Meterpreter sessions, making it highly weaponized and flexible. No hardcoded IP addresses, URLs, or file paths are present in the code, as the target is specified by the user at runtime. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, including integration with Metasploit's payload and session management. The exploit is operational and ready for use within the Metasploit framework, targeting BMC Patrol installations accessible over the network.
