Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2014-125124. PoCs published by Metasploit, including Metasploit module exploits/linux/http/pandora_fms_exec.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability in Pandora FMS's Anyterm service on port 8023, allowing remote code execution as the 'pandora' user. It includes privilege escalation to root via the 'artica' user, which has passwordless sudo access in certain versions.

Description

An unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability exists in Pandora FMS versions up to and including 5.0RC1 via the Anyterm web interface, which listens on TCP port 8023. The anyterm-module endpoint accepts unsanitized user input via the p parameter and directly injects it into a shell command, allowing arbitrary command execution as the pandora user. In certain versions (notably 4.1 and 5.0RC1), the pandora user can elevate privileges to root without a password using a chain involving the artica user account. This account is typically installed without a password and is configured to run sudo without authentication. Therefore, full system compromise is possible without any credentials.
