An eval injection vulnerability exists in the FrontView web interface (frontview/lib/np_handler.pl) of NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator versions prior to 4.1.12 and 4.2.x prior to 4.2.24. The vulnerability is due to improper handling of user input in the 'forgot password workflow', allowing remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary Perl code via crafted requests.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/netgear_readynas_exec.rb) that exploits a Perl code injection vulnerability (CVE-2013-2751) in the web interface of NETGEAR ReadyNAS devices (specifically firmware 4.2.23). The exploit targets the /np_handler endpoint, abusing insecure use of Perl's eval() function in the np_handler.pl component. By sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the device's web interface (typically over HTTPS on port 443), the attacker can inject and execute arbitrary Perl code, which is used to run system commands on the device. The module supports arbitrary command payloads, encoded in base64 and executed via Perl's system() function. The exploit is operational and provides remote code execution capabilities, but is not weaponized for mass exploitation. The repository is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
