Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2017-17560 is a vulnerability in the Western Digital MyCloud PR4100 (firmware 2.30.172) where the /web/jquery/uploader/multi_uploadify.php endpoint allows unauthenticated users to upload files to arbitrary locations on the device's filesystem. This can be exploited to upload a PHP shell, leading to arbitrary code execution as root.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits a file upload vulnerability (CVE-2017-17560) in Western Digital MyCloud NAS devices. The exploit targets the /web/jquery/uploader/multi_uploadify.php endpoint, which allows unauthenticated file uploads to arbitrary locations on the device. The module uploads a PHP payload to the webroot (/var/www), then triggers its execution, resulting in remote code execution as root. The code is operational and leverages Metasploit's payload system, allowing the attacker to specify arbitrary PHP code (commonly a shell). The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of check, upload, and exploit logic. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the vulnerable PHP upload script, and the attack vector is network-based, requiring HTTP access to the device's web interface.
