CVE-2020-4427 is an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting IBM Data Risk Manager versions 2.0.1 through 2.0.6 when the product is configured to use SAML authentication. According to the provided description, a remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to bypass the authentication process. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to circumvent normal security restrictions and obtain full administrative access to the IBM Data Risk Manager system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (ibm_drm_download.rb) targeting IBM Data Risk Manager (IDRM) versions 2.0.2 to 2.0.4. The module exploits a chain of vulnerabilities (authentication bypass and path traversal, CVE-2020-4427 and CVE-2020-4429) to allow unauthenticated attackers to download arbitrary files from the target system via its HTTPS web interface (default port 8443). The exploit automates the process of session creation, admin password retrieval, authentication, CSRF token acquisition, and file download. By default, it attempts to download Tomcat's application.properties file, which may contain sensitive credentials. The module is written in Ruby and is intended for use within the Metasploit framework. The attack vector is network-based, and several fingerprintable HTTP endpoints are used in the exploitation process.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/ibm_drm_rce.rb) targeting IBM Data Risk Manager (IDRM) versions <= 2.0.4. The exploit chains three vulnerabilities (authentication bypass, command injection, and insecure default password) to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution as root. The module interacts with the IDRM web interface over HTTPS (default port 8443), performing a series of HTTP requests to bypass authentication, obtain admin credentials, upload a payload and script, and finally trigger command execution via a vulnerable nmap scan endpoint. The default payload is a reverse shell, but it can be customized using Metasploit's payload options. The exploit is operational and provides a root shell if successful. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of exploitation steps and post-exploitation cleanup.
