WatchGuard XTM Firebox Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution
Description
This module exploits a buffer overflow at the administration interface (8080 or 4117) of WatchGuard Firebox and XTM appliances which is built from a cherrypy python backend sending XML-RPC requests to a C binary called wgagent using pre-authentication endpoint /agent/login. This vulnerability impacts Fireware OS before 12.7.2_U2, 12.x before 12.1.3_U8, and 12.2.x through 12.5.x before 12.5.9_U2. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution as user nobody.

- 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.
