CVE-2012-3001 is a command injection vulnerability in Mutiny Technology Mutiny Standard virtual appliance versions before 4.5-1.12. The flaw is present in the appliance's network-interface menu, where insufficient neutralization of attacker-controlled input allows commands to be injected into underlying system command execution. Available reporting indicates that successful exploitation results in execution of arbitrary commands with root privileges on the appliance.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (mutiny_subnetmask_exec.rb) that exploits an authenticated command injection vulnerability (CVE-2012-3001) in the Mutiny appliance (versions prior to 4.5-1.12). The exploit targets the web admin interface, requiring valid credentials (default: admin/mutiny). It leverages a vulnerability in the /admin/cgi-bin/netconfig endpoint, injecting commands via the 'netmasketh0' parameter. The module supports both command and ELF payloads, delivering them via HTTP and executing them as root on the target. The exploit includes logic for authentication, payload delivery (including hosting an ELF binary for the target to fetch), and post-exploitation cleanup. The code is written in Ruby and is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, making it weaponized and highly customizable. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the HTTP interface of the Mutiny appliance.
