List of CVEs: CVE-2017-8835
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.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Knowledge Base
Vulnerable Application
Introduction
This module exploits an SQLi vulnerability in the web interface of Peplink routers running outdated firmware (confirmed on version 7.0.0-build1904 and below).
The vulnerability is due to the lack of sanitization applied to the bauth cookie, Successful exploitation of the vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to get into sessions of legitimate users (bypassing authentication).
Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that there is at least one active user session created in the last 4 hours (or session lifetime if it was modified).
Options
BypassLogin
If true, don't retrieve cookies, just use the SQL injection vulnerability to bypass the login In the case where expired and non-expired admin sessions exist, might select the expired session if enabled.
AdminOnly
Only attempt to retrieve cookies of privilegied users (admins)
EnumPrivs
Retrieve the privilege associated with each session
EnumUsernames
Retrieve the username associated with each session
LimitTries
The max number of sessions to try (from most recent), set to avoid checking expired ones needlessly
Scenarios
Vulnerable firmware downloadable from here. It's possible to reproduce the vulnerability without owning a peplink router, using FusionHub. Refer to its installation guide, use a free Solo license.

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.
