CVE-2010-20059 affects FreeNAS 0.7.2 prior to revision 5543. The web interface contains an exposed script, exec_raw.php, that accepts a cmd parameter and passes it directly to the underlying shell without sanitization. This creates an unauthenticated command-execution backdoor reachable through the management interface, allowing arbitrary shell command injection via crafted requests to the vulnerable PHP endpoint.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/freenas_exec_raw.rb) that exploits an arbitrary command execution vulnerability in FreeNAS versions 0.7.2 prior to revision 5543 (CVE-2010-20059). The exploit targets the 'exec_raw.php' page, abusing the 'cmd' parameter to write and execute arbitrary PHP code on the target system. The module is weaponized, allowing the attacker to deliver a customizable PHP payload (such as Meterpreter) and gain remote code execution. The exploit is triggered in two stages: first, a PHP file containing the payload is written to the target, and then it is executed via a subsequent HTTP request. The module is designed for use within the Metasploit framework and is highly effective against vulnerable FreeNAS installations.
