Description

This module exploits vulnerabilities in multiple Zyxel devices including the VPN, USG and APT series. The affected firmware versions depend on the device module, see this module's documentation for more details. Note this module was unable to be tested against a real Zyxel device and was tested against a mock environment. If you run into any issues testing this in a real environment we kindly ask you raise an issue in metasploit's github repository: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/new/choose

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/zyxel_parse_config_rce
msf exploit(zyxel_parse_config_rce) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(zyxel_parse_config_rce) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(zyxel_parse_config_rce) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(zyxel_parse_config_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.
