This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in GroundWork 6.7.0. This software is used for network, application and cloud monitoring. The vulnerability exists in the monarch_scan.cgi, where user controlled input is used in the perl qx function, which allows any remote authenticated attacker, whatever his privileges are, to inject system commands and gain arbitrary code execution. The module has been tested successfully on GroundWork 6.7.0-br287-gw1571 as distributed within the Ubuntu 10.04 based VM appliance.
