Description

This module exploits an authenticated command injection vulnerabilty in the "restore_rrddata()" function of pfSense prior to version 2.7.0 which allows an authenticated attacker with the "WebCfg - Diagnostics: Backup & Restore" privilege to execute arbitrary operating system commands as the "root" user. This module has been tested successfully on version 2.6.0-RELEASE.

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.
