Kong Gateway Admin API Remote Code Execution
Description
This module uses the Kong admin API to create a route and a serverless function plugin that is associated with the route. The plugin runs Lua code and is used to run a system command using os.execute(). After execution the route is deleted, which also deletes the plugin.

- 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.
