F5 iControl iCall::Script Root Command Execution
Description
This module exploits an authenticated privilege escalation vulnerability in the iControl API on the F5 BIG-IP LTM (and likely other F5 devices). This requires valid credentials and the Resource Administrator role. The exploit should work on BIG-IP 11.3.0 - 11.6.0, (11.5.x < 11.5.3 HF2 or 11.6.x < 11.6.0 HF6, see references for more details)

- 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.
