Description

This module exploits two vulnerabilities, a session ID directory traversal authentication bypass (CVE-2022-20705) and a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2022-20707), on Cisco RV160, RV260, RV340, and RV345 Small Business Routers, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands with www-data user privileges. This access can then be used to pivot to other parts of the network. This module works on firmware versions 1.0.03.24 and below.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/linux/http/cisco_rv340_lan
msf exploit(cisco_rv340_lan) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(cisco_rv340_lan) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(cisco_rv340_lan) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(cisco_rv340_lan) > exploit

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.
