This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the WordPress wp-automatic plugin versions prior to 3.92.1 to achieve remote code execution. The vulnerability allows the attacker to inject and execute arbitrary SQL commands, which can be used to create a malicious administrator account. The password for the new account is hashed using MD5. Once the administrator account is created, the attacker can upload and execute a malicious plugin, leading to full control over the WordPress site.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to username enumeration in the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can interact with the UserManager servlet to enumerate valid usernames on the system. Since jsonProxy.php proxies requests to internal services without requiring authentication, attackers can gain unauthorized insights into valid usernames.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to unauthorized information disclosure in the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can retrieve sensitive system information, including system time, uptime, memory usage, and network load statistics. The jsonProxy.php endpoint proxies these requests to internal services without requiring authentication, allowing attackers to obtain detailed system status data, which could aid in further attacks by revealing operational characteristics and resource utilization.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to unauthorized SSH service configuration changes via the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can enable or disable the SSH service on the server by accessing the FTControlServlet with the sshenable parameter. The jsonProxy.php script proxies requests to localhost without enforcing authentication, allowing attackers to modify SSH settings and potentially gain further unauthorized access to the system.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.01 is vulnerable to an unauthenticated denial of service attack in the jsonProxy.php endpoint. An attacker can remotely restart the main Java server by accessing the FTControlServlet with the restart parameter. The endpoint proxies requests to localhost without requiring authentication, enabling attackers to disrupt system availability by repeatedly triggering server restarts.
