The Motorola Wireless Router WR850G with firmware version 4.03 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the web management interface. By repeatedly requesting the ver.asp page over HTTP, an attacker can eventually gain administrator access without valid credentials, particularly when an administrator logs in during the attacker's repeated requests. This allows the attacker to access sensitive configuration information and perform administrative actions.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting the Motorola WR850G router with firmware version 4.03. The module exploits an information disclosure vulnerability (CVE-2004-1550) that allows an attacker to retrieve the administrator's username and password by sending an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the /ver.asp endpoint, but only if the administrator is currently logged in. The module connects to the router's HTTP interface (default port 80), sends the request, and parses the response for credentials. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, making it easy to use within the Metasploit framework. No hardcoded payload is delivered; the exploit simply extracts and displays credentials if the vulnerability is present.
