This repository contains a single Metasploit module (sonicwall_xmlrpc_rce.rb) that exploits an unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability (CVE-2014-8420) in SonicWall Global Management System Virtual Appliance versions 8.1 (Build 8110.1197) and below. The exploit targets the XML-RPC service, typically running on TCP port 21009, and abuses the set_time_config method by injecting shell commands into the timezone parameter. The module checks the target's version and, if vulnerable, sends a crafted XML-RPC request to execute arbitrary commands. The payload is a command string, and the exploit does not require authentication. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be used within the Metasploit framework.
