Modules

  • PR 17670 - Adds a new rpyc_rce module to exploit CVE-2019-16328 and achieve remote command executionas the vulnerable server’s service user.

  • PR 17936 - This adds an exploit module that leverages an authentication bypass to get remote code execution on PaperCut NG version 8.0.0 to 19.2.7 (inclusive), version 20.0.0 to 20.1.6 (inclusive), version 21.0.0 to 21.2.10 (inclusive) and version 22.0.0 to 22.0.8 (inclusive). This vulnerability is identified as CVE-2023-27350. Due to an improper access control in the SetupCompleted class, it is possible to bypass authentication and abuse the built-in scripting functionality for printers to obtain code execution as the SYSTEM user on Windows and the less privileged papercut user on Linux.

  • PR 17946 - This adds an exploit for CVE-2023-21839 which is an unauthenticated RCE in Oracle Weblogic. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution as the oracle user.

  • PR 18002 - This adds a command payload module that creates a new privileged user on a *nix target system.

  • PR 18016 - This adds an exploit for CVE-2023-28771 which is a remote, unauthenticated OS command injection in IKE service of several Zyxel devices. Successful exploitation results in remote command execution as the root user.

  • PR 18018 - This adds an exploit module for CVE-2023-29084 which is an authenticated RCE in Zoho ManageEngine ADManager Plus. A remote attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute OS commands by crafting a request to update the server's configuration. The modified configuration's value is restored by the exploit once it is completed. This exploit is incompatible with HTTP payloads due to the exploit modifying the HTTP proxy configuration of the server during exploitation.

  • PR 18022 - This adds the post/windows/manage/make_token module which is capable of creating new tokens from known credentials and then setting them in a running instance of Meterpreter, which can allow that session to access resources it might not have previously been able to access.

  • PR 18039 - This adds an exploit leverages an authenticated arbitrary file read on Github 16.0.0. This vulnerability is identified as CVE-2023-2825.

  • PR 18044 - Add MIPS64 Linux Fetch Payloads.

  • PR 18063 - This adds an exploit for TerraMaster NAS devices running TOS 4.x versions. The logic in include/makecvs.php permits shell metacharacters through the Event parameter in a GET request, permitting the upload of a webshell without authentication. Through this, an attacker can achieve remote code execution as the user running the TOS web interface.

  • PR 18070 - This exploits a series of vulnerabilities including session crafting and command injection in TerraMaster NAS versions 4.2.15 and below to achieve unauthenticated RCE as the root user.

  • PR 18072 - A module has been added for CVE-2023-1133, an unauthenticated .NET deserialization vulnerability in Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master versions below v1.0.5 in the ParseUDPPacket() method of the 'Device-Gateway-Status' process. Successful exploitation leads to unauthenticated code execution as the user running the 'Device-Gateway-Status' process.

  • PR 18075 - This PR adds a version scanner for Apache RocketMQ.

  • PR 18077 - This adds an exploit for Symmetricom SyncServer appliances (S100-S300 series) vulnerable to an unauthenticated command injection in the hostname parameter in a request to the /controller/ping.php endpoint. The command injection vulnerability is patched in the S650 v2.2. Requesting the endpoint will result in a redirect to the login page; however, the command will still be executed, resulting in RCE as the root user.

  • PR 18086 - This exploits an administrative password leak and command injection vulnerability on TerraMaster devices running TerraMaster Operating System (TOS) versions 4.2.29 and below to achieve unauthenticated RCE as the root user.

  • PR 18100 - Adds a new module targeting the MOVEit Transfer web application that allows an unauthenticated attacker to gain access to MOVEit Transfer’s database.
