CVE-2023-36255 is an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Eramba Enterprise and Community edition version 3.19.1. The flaw resides in the improper handling of the 'path' parameter in the 'download-test-pdf' endpoint, allowing authenticated users to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the server. If debug mode is enabled, command output is returned in the HTTP response. The vulnerability was discovered by Trovent Security GmbH and affects both major editions of Eramba.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/eramba_rce.rb) targeting a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2023-36255) in Eramba (up to version 3.19.1) when debug mode is enabled. The exploit requires valid credentials for an authenticated user. It works by abusing the 'path' parameter in the /settings/download-test-pdf endpoint, allowing arbitrary command execution on the server. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient mixin for HTTP requests. The default payload is a reverse bash shell, but any Metasploit command payload for unix/linux can be used. The module checks for the presence of debug mode and the vulnerable version before attempting exploitation. The structure is typical for a Metasploit exploit, with clear separation of check and exploit logic, and it is operationally mature, providing a working exploit with customizable payloads.
