  • PR 15140  - Fixed msftidy_docs.rb so it doesn’t double warn on optional (and missing) Options headers.

Modules

  • PR 11130  - New module post/multi/gather/unix_cached_ad_hashes retrieves cached AD credentials from two different solutions on UNIX (SSSD and VAS).

  • PR 11130  - New module post/multi/gather/unix_kerberos_tickets retrieves cached Kerberos tickets from two different solutions on UNIX (SSSD and VAS).

By default, Apache Druid does not require authentication.

  • PR 15005  - New module exploits/linux/http/vmware_vrops_mgr_ssrf_rce exploits both a pre-auth SSRF and a post-auth file write via directory traversal to get code execution as the admin user on vulnerable VMware vRealize Operations Manager installs.

  • PR 15021  - New module post/android/local/koffee leverages the CVE-2020-8539  vulnerability on certain Kia Motors head units. This vulnerability is also known as KOFFEE.

  • PR 15030  - New module exploits/linux/http/gravcms_exec leverages an unauthenticated arbitrary YAML write/update vulnerability to get remote code execution on vulnerable GravCMS targets under the context of the web server user.
