Description

Obtain remote code execution in Palo Alto Expedition version 1.2.91 and below. The first vulnerability, CVE-2024-5910, allows to reset the password of the admin user, and the second vulnerability, CVE-2024-9464, is an authenticated OS command injection. In a default installation, commands will get executed in the context of www-data. When credentials are provided, this module will only exploit the second vulnerability. If no credentials are provided, the module will first try to reset the admin password and then perform the OS command injection.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/linux/http/paloalto_expedition_rce
msf exploit(paloalto_expedition_rce) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(paloalto_expedition_rce) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(paloalto_expedition_rce) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(paloalto_expedition_rce) > exploit

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.
