List of CVEs: CVE-2012-3001
This module exploits an authenticated command injection vulnerability in the Mutiny appliance. Versions prior to 4.5-1.12 are vulnerable. In order to exploit the vulnerability the mutiny user must have access to the admin interface. The injected commands are executed with root privileges. This module has been tested successfully on Mutiny 4.2-1.05.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- excellent: The exploit will never crash the service. This is the case for SQL Injection, CMD execution, RFI, LFI, etc. No typical memory corruption exploits should be given this ranking unless there are extraordinary circumstances. More information about ranking can be found here.
Basic Usage
msf > use exploit/multi/http/mutiny_subnetmask_exec
msf exploit(mutiny_subnetmask_exec) > exploit
Required Options
- RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'
