Loading vulnerability…
In Cambium Networks ePMP firmware version 3.5 and prior, the non-administrative users 'installer' and 'home' can change passwords for other accounts, including the 'admin' account, by disabling a client-side protection mechanism. This allows privilege escalation from low-privileged users to administrative access.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting Cambium ePMP 1000 wireless device management portals. The module exploits an access control vulnerability (CVE-2017-5254) present in firmware versions 3.0 through 3.5-RC7 (all <=3.5). By authenticating with non-admin credentials (such as installer/installer or home/home), the module can reset the password of any user, including the admin account, via a crafted HTTP POST request to the device's management interface. The module is written in Ruby and is structured to be used within the Metasploit framework. It requires the attacker to specify the target device, valid non-admin credentials, the username to reset, and the new password. The exploit provides privilege escalation by allowing the attacker to gain admin access. The only endpoint involved is the device's HTTP management portal, typically on port 80 but configurable. The repository is operational and not a proof-of-concept, as it performs the actual password reset if the conditions are met.
