Loading vulnerability…
ARRIS VAP2500 devices running firmware versions prior to FW08.41 do not properly validate passwords during the authentication process. This flaw allows remote attackers to bypass authentication controls and gain unauthorized access to the device.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting Arris VAP2500 access points. The exploit leverages a command injection vulnerability in the web management portal's /tools_command.php page. Although authentication is required, it can be bypassed by setting a cookie ('p') to the MD5 hash of a valid username (e.g., 'super'). The module allows an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the device by sending a POST request to /tools_command.php with the 'txt_command' parameter containing the payload. The exploit supports both direct command execution and session-based payloads, and is classified as OPERATIONAL maturity due to its ability to deliver and execute arbitrary commands. The module references CVE-2014-8423 and CVE-2014-8424, and is written in Ruby for the Metasploit framework.
