Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in Trend Micro Threat Discovery Appliance 2.6.1062r1 due to improper sanitization of the session_id cookie. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to delete arbitrary files on the system as root, potentially bypassing authentication or causing a denial of service.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting Trend Micro Threat Discovery Appliance version 2.6.1062r1. The exploit leverages two vulnerabilities: an authentication bypass (CVE-2016-7552) via a crafted request to logoff.cgi that resets the admin password, and a command injection (CVE-2016-7547) in the 'timezone' parameter of admin_sys_time.cgi. The module can optionally perform the authentication bypass (which requires a device reboot) or proceed with a known admin password. Once authenticated, it exploits the command injection to download and execute a payload (typically a Meterpreter or reverse shell) on the target. The payload is served via an HTTP server started by the module. The code is weaponized, allowing for customizable payloads and automated exploitation. The main endpoints involved are /cgi-bin/logoff.cgi, /cgi-bin/logon.cgi, /cgi-bin/admin_sys_time.cgi, and /cgi-bin/about.cgi. The exploit is designed for remote, network-based attacks against vulnerable appliances.
