This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting Meteocontrol WEBlog appliances vulnerable to authentication bypass (CVE-2016-2296, CVE-2016-2298). The module attempts to identify the target as a Meteocontrol WEBlog device by requesting '/html/en/index.html' and checking for specific server headers or page content. If confirmed, it sends a GET request to '/html/en/confAccessProt.html' to extract the administrator password from the szWebAdminPassword field in the HTML response. The exploit is operational, providing direct credential extraction if the target is vulnerable. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a typical Metasploit auxiliary module, making use of the framework's HTTP client and reporting features. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the module is designed to be run against user-specified targets.
