Linksys WRT54GL Remote Command Execution
Description
Some Linksys Routers are vulnerable to OS Command injection. You will need credentials to the web interface to access the vulnerable part of the application. Default credentials are always a good starting point. admin/admin or admin and blank password could be a first try. Note: This is a blind OS command injection vulnerability. This means that you will not see any output of your command. Try a ping command to your local system and observe the packets with tcpdump (or equivalent) for a first test. Hint: To get a remote shell you could upload a netcat binary and exec it. WARNING: this module will overwrite network and DHCP configuration.

- 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.
