AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits CVE-2022-28810, an authenticated command execution vulnerability in ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus. It leverages the 'custom script' feature to execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM when a user resets their password or unlocks their account.

Description

Zoho ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus before build 6122 allows a remote authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary operating OS commands as SYSTEM via the policy custom script feature. Due to the use of a default administrator password, attackers may be able to abuse this functionality with minimal effort. Additionally, a remote and partially authenticated attacker may be able to inject arbitrary commands into the custom script due to an unsanitized password field.
