CVE-2024-12971 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Pandora FMS affecting versions 700 through 777.6. The issue is caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in a command, allowing attacker-controlled input to be incorporated into operating system command execution without sufficient sanitization or escaping. Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary command execution in the security context of the affected Pandora FMS component.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting CVE-2024-12971, a command injection vulnerability in Pandora FMS (Community, Free, and Enterprise editions). The exploit leverages a weakness in the 'chromium-path' or 'phantomjs-bin' settings on the Pandora FMS application settings page, allowing authenticated attackers to achieve remote command execution (RCE). If admin credentials for the Pandora FMS web application are not known, the module can attempt to exploit a default password vulnerability in the MySQL backend to create a new admin user. The module supports multiple payloads, including PHP Meterpreter, Linux/Unix command payloads, and a tiny reverse netcat command for older versions. The attack is performed over the network, requiring access to the Pandora FMS web interface and, optionally, the MySQL database. The code is written in Ruby and is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, making it weaponized and highly customizable. The main entry point is the Metasploit module file itself.
