This module exploits a local file inclusion in QNAP QTS and Photo Station that allows an unauthenticated attacker to download files from the QNAP filesystem. Because the HTTP server runs as root, it is possible to access sensitive files, such as SSH private keys and password hashes. This module has been tested on QTS 4.3.3 (unknown Photo Station version) and QTS 4.3.6 with Photo Station 5.7.9.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
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.
