This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting CVE-2023-29084, an authenticated command injection vulnerability in ManageEngine ADManager Plus (prior to build 7181) on Windows. The exploit leverages insufficient input validation in the ChangePasswordAction function, allowing an authenticated attacker to inject OS commands via a specially crafted POST request to the /api/json/admin/saveServerSettings endpoint. The module requires valid credentials and interacts with the application's authentication endpoint (/j_security_check) before exploiting the vulnerability. The default payload is a Windows command (typically a reverse shell), but the module supports arbitrary command execution. The exploit is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and allows for customizable payloads. The repository is well-structured, containing only the exploit module written in Ruby, and is intended for use within Metasploit.
