CVE-2019-1935 is a vulnerability in Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) Supervisor, Cisco UCS Director, and Cisco UCS Director Express for Big Data, where an unauthenticated remote attacker can log in to the CLI via SSH using the 'scpuser' account, which is configured with a default password ('scpuser'). The vulnerability exists because the default password is not enforced to be changed during installation, and the account has incorrect permission settings. This allows attackers to gain access with the privileges of the scpuser account, including full read and write access to the system's database.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/ssh/cisco_ucs_scpuser.rb) that exploits a default credentials vulnerability (CVE-2019-1935) in Cisco UCS Director virtual appliances (versions prior to 6.7.2.0). The exploit attempts to log in to the target system via SSH using the default username and password ('scpuser'/'scpuser'). If successful, it provides the attacker with an interactive command shell. The module is operational and leverages the Metasploit framework's SSH capabilities. The only required endpoint is the SSH service (typically port 22) on the target appliance. The exploit is not a detection script and does not contain any fake or destructive code. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file, following standard Metasploit module conventions.
