This Metasploit module exploits three separate vulnerabilities found in the Riverbed SteelCentral NetProfiler/NetExpress virtual appliances to obtain remote command execution as the root user. A SQL injection in the login form can be exploited to add a malicious user into the application's database. An attacker can then exploit a command injection vulnerability in the web interface to obtain arbitrary code execution. Finally, an insecure configuration of the sudoers file can be abused to escalate privileges to root.

This module exploits three separate vulnerabilities found in the Riverbed SteelCentral NetProfiler/NetExpress
virtual appliances to obtain remote command execution as the root user. A SQL injection in the login form
can be exploited to add a malicious user into the application's database. An attacker can then exploit a
command injection vulnerability in the web interface to obtain arbitrary code execution. Finally, an insecure
configuration of the sudoers file can be abused to escalate privileges to root.
