ZyXEL GS1510-16 Password Extractor

Created
05/30/2018

Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in ZyXEL GS1510-16 routers to extract the admin password. Due to a lack of authentication on the webctrl.cgi script, unauthenticated attackers can recover the administrator password for these devices. The vulnerable device has reached end of life for support from the manufacturer, so it is unlikely this problem will be addressed.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
