CVE-2020-7350Metasploit Framework Plugin Libnotify Command Injection
Medium 6.1
In plain English
A medium-severity OS command injection in Metasploit Framework from Rapid7. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 5.0% (higher than 92% of all known vulnerabilities). Ready-made attack tooling exists: Metasploit.
Official description
Rapid7 Metasploit Framework versions before 5.0.85 suffers from an instance of CWE-78: OS Command Injection, wherein the libnotify plugin accepts untrusted user-supplied data via a remote computer's hostname or service name. An attacker can create a specially-crafted hostname or service name to be imported by Metasploit from a variety of sources and trigger a command injection on the operator's terminal. Note, only the Metasploit Framework and products that expose the plugin system is susceptible to this issue -- notably, this does not include Rapid7 Metasploit Pro. Also note, this vulnerability cannot be triggered through a normal scan operation -- the attacker would have to supply a file that is processed with the db_import command.
