WAN Emulator v2.3 Command Execution
Description
This module exploits a command execution vulnerability in WAN Emulator version 2.3 which can be abused to allow unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary commands under the context of the 'www-data' user. The 'result.php' script calls shell_exec() with user controlled data from the 'pc' parameter. This module also exploits a command execution vulnerability to gain root privileges. The 'dosu' binary is suid 'root' and vulnerable to command execution in argument one.

- 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.
