Home / exploits Kemp LoadMaster Local sudo Privilege Escalation
Posted on 13 May 2024
This Metasploit module abuses a feature of the sudo command on Progress Kemp LoadMaster. Certain binary files are allowed to automatically elevate with the sudo command. This is based off of the file name. Some files have this permission are not write-protected from the default bal user. As such, if the file is overwritten with an arbitrary file, it will still auto-elevate. This module overwrites the /bin/loadkeys file with another executable.
