Hak5 WiFi Pineapple versions 2.0 through 2.3 generate CSRF tokens in a predictable manner. This weakness allows attackers to potentially guess or calculate valid CSRF tokens, undermining the protection against cross-site request forgery attacks. The vulnerability is due to insufficient randomness in the CSRF token generation algorithm.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/pineapple_bypass_cmdinject.rb) that exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2015-4624) in Hak5 WiFi Pineapple devices running versions 2.0.0 up to 2.3.0. The exploit bypasses login and CSRF checks by targeting the vulnerable PHP file '/components/system/configuration/functions.php' via a crafted HTTP POST request to a normalized URI. The module allows the attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the device, leveraging Metasploit's command payloads (including support for python, netcat, and telnet). The default target is the device at IP 172.16.42.1 on port 1471, but these can be configured. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'Hak5 WiFi Pineapple Preconfiguration Command Injection'. The module exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2015-4624) in Hak5 WiFi Pineapple devices running firmware versions 2.0.0 up to 2.3.0, prior to initial configuration. The exploit leverages default credentials and a weakness in anti-CSRF token generation to achieve remote command execution via HTTP POST requests to the device's web interface. If default credentials fail, the module can attempt to brute-force the device's proof-of-ownership challenge (an LED puzzle) to reset the password. The main endpoints targeted are various PHP scripts on the device's management interface, typically accessible at http://172.16.42.1:1471/. The exploit is operational and allows for arbitrary command execution, with payloads delivered through the Metasploit framework. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with Metasploit, and all logic is contained within this file.
