Description

Apache APISIX has a default, built-in API token edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1 that can be used to access all of the admin API, which leads to remote LUA code execution through the script parameter added in the 2.x version. This module also leverages another vulnerability to bypass the IP restriction plugin.

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.
