Peplink Balance routers SQLi
Description
Firmware versions up to 7.0.0-build1904 of Peplink Balance routers are affected by an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the bauth cookie, successful exploitation of the vulnerability allows an attacker to retrieve the cookies of authenticated users, bypassing the web portal authentication. By default, a session expires 4 hours after login (the setting can be changed by the admin), for this reason, the module attempts to retrieve the most recently created sessions.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
