Asterisk AMI Originate Authenticated RCE
Description
On Asterisk, prior to versions 18.24.2, 20.9.2, and 21.4.2 and certified-asterisk versions 18.9-cert11 and 20.7-cert2, an AMI user with 'write=originate' may change all configuration files in the '/etc/asterisk/' directory. Writing a new extension can be created which performs a system command to achieve RCE as the asterisk service user (typically asterisk). Default parking lot in FreePBX is called "Default lot" on the website interface, however its actually 'parkedcalls'. Tested against Asterisk 19.8.0 and 18.16.0 on Freepbx SNG7-PBX16-64bit-2302-1.

- 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.
