Exploits (8)
This exploit demonstrates an authentication bypass vulnerability in VMware vCenter Server 6.7 by manipulating LDAP packets to create a new user and add it to the Administrators group. It leverages improper access controls in upgraded vCenter instances.
This repository contains a functional Python exploit for CVE-2020-3952, which leverages an LDAP authentication bypass in VMware vCenter to create a new administrative user. The exploit performs an LDAP bind with invalid credentials, adds a new user, and grants it administrator privileges.
This repository contains a functional exploit PoC for CVE-2020-3952, a remote command injection vulnerability in VMware vCenter Server. The script sends a crafted payload to establish a reverse shell on the target system.
This script checks for the presence of CVE-2020-3952 by verifying vCenter upgrade logs and version details via SSH. It does not exploit the vulnerability but confirms susceptibility based on version and upgrade history.
This repository contains a functional Python exploit for CVE-2020-3952, which leverages an LDAP authentication bypass in VMware vCenter to create a new administrative user. The exploit performs an LDAP bind with invalid credentials, adds a new user, and grants it administrator privileges.
This repository contains a functional exploit PoC for CVE-2020-3952, which targets VMware vCenter Server. The exploit checks for vulnerability by attempting to modify the 'description' attribute of the built-in Administrators group via LDAP, demonstrating the vulnerability without creating an admin user.
This Metasploit module exploits an LDAP authentication bypass in VMware vCenter Server's vmdir service (CVE-2020-3952) to add an arbitrary administrator user. It leverages invalid credentials to bypass authentication and then adds a new user to the Administrators group.
This Metasploit module exploits CVE-2020-3952, an information disclosure vulnerability in VMware vCenter Server's vmdir LDAP service. It performs an anonymous or authenticated LDAP bind to dump sensitive data, including password hashes, from vulnerable systems.
