Exploiting authenticated XXE vulnerability to read the keystore.properties file, containing encrypted password for 'sa' and admin user. Password can be used for remote command execution & account access. XXE attack allows retrieval of 255 chars due to length restrictions.

Code
`##  
# This module requires Metasploit: http://metasploit.com/download  
# Current source: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework  
##  
  
require 'msf/core'  
require 'openssl'

def initialize(info = {})  
super(update_info(info,  
'Name' => 'McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Authenticated XXE Credentials Exposure',  
'Description' => %q{  
This module will exploit an authenticated XXE vulnerability to read the keystore.properties  
off of the filesystem. This properties file contains an encrypted password that is set during  
installation. What is interesting about this password is that it is set as the same password  
as the database 'sa' user and of the admin user created during installation. This password  
is encrypted with a static key, and is encrypted using a weak cipher at that (ECB). By default,  
if installed with a local SQL Server instance, the SQL server is listening on all interfaces.  
  
Recovering this password allows an attacker to potentially authenticate as the 'sa' SQL Server  
user in order to achieve remote command execution with permissions of the database process. If  
the administrator has no changed the password for the initially created account since installation,  
the attacker also now has the password for this account. By default, 'admin' is recommended.  
  
Any user account can be used to exploit this, all that is needed is a pair of credentials.  
  
The most data that can be successfully retrieved is 255 characters due to length restrictions  
on the field used to perform the XXE attack.
