Loading vulnerability…
Array Networks vAPV 8.3.2.17 and vxAG 9.2.0.34 contain a privilege-escalation vulnerability caused by hardcoded SSH credentials or a hardcoded DSA private key combined with insecure permissions on a startup script. An attacker can remotely authenticate with limited privileges using the shipped SSH material, overwrite the world-writable monitor script with arbitrary commands, and trigger its elevated execution through the backend debug-monitor function, resulting in root-level command execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby) targeting Array Networks vAPV 8.3.2.17 and vxAG 9.2.0.34 appliances. The exploit leverages a default hardcoded SSH private key or default credentials to gain SSH access as an unprivileged user. Once authenticated, it overwrites the world-writable /ca/bin/monitor.sh script with attacker-supplied code (the payload), then uses the setuid /ca/bin/backend tool to trigger execution of this script as root, achieving privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution. The module is operational, providing a working exploit with customizable payloads. Key fingerprintable endpoints include the SSH service (default port 22), /ca/bin/monitor.sh, and /ca/bin/backend. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
