NETGEAR Management System NMS300 versions 1.5.0.11 and earlier contain unrestricted file-upload vulnerabilities in the fileUpload.do and lib-1.0/external/flash/fileUpload.do endpoints. A remote attacker can upload a JSP file and directly request it through a /null URI to execute arbitrary Java code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/admin/http/netgear_auth_download.rb) targeting an authenticated arbitrary file download vulnerability (CVE-2016-1524) in Netgear ProSafe NMS300 network management software for Windows. The module exploits a flaw in the web interface, allowing an authenticated attacker to download any file from the system by abusing the /data/config/image.do endpoint. The exploit requires valid credentials and can brute-force path traversal if the direct file path is not successful. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP client and reporting features. The main entry point is the 'run' method, which handles authentication, file download attempts, and saving the retrieved file. The module is operational and can be used to extract sensitive files from vulnerable NMS300 installations.
