CVE-2022-38108 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in the SolarWinds Platform, specifically affecting the Network Performance Monitor (NPM) and related products. The flaw arises from insecure deserialization of untrusted data in the BytesToMessage function, which processes messages received via RabbitMQ (AMQP 0-9-1 protocol on TCP port 5671). An authenticated attacker with Orion admin-level access can send crafted JSON.NET serialized objects, leveraging known deserialization gadgets, to the SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS), resulting in arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM on the affected server. The vulnerability is due to the lack of proper type validation (e.g., not using BlackListBinder) during deserialization.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2022-38108) in SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS) via AMQP deserialization. The exploit connects to the target's AMQP service (default port 5671), authenticates using provided credentials, and publishes a maliciously crafted .NET serialized object to the 'SwisPubSub' routing key. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary OS command execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on the target Windows system. The module is weaponized, allowing customizable payloads and is suitable for operational use. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
