This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/gather/qnap_lfi.rb) targeting QNAP QTS and Photo Station installations vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) (CVE-2019-7192, CVE-2019-7194, CVE-2019-7195). The module allows unauthenticated attackers to download arbitrary files from the QNAP filesystem by exploiting vulnerable HTTP endpoints. The exploit works by first retrieving an album ID and access code from the Photo Station API, then sending a crafted POST request to the /photo/p/api/video.php endpoint with a path traversal payload to read files such as /etc/shadow. If /etc/shadow is retrieved, the module parses and stores password hashes in the Metasploit database. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient and credential storage features. The attack vector is network-based, requiring only HTTP access to the target device. The module is operational and provides credential extraction functionality if the targeted file is /etc/shadow.
This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit (gundy.py) targeting multiple QNAP Photo Station vulnerabilities (CVE-2019-7192 through CVE-2019-7195). The exploit leverages unauthenticated API endpoints to first obtain an album_id and access_code, then uses these to perform directory traversal attacks via the /photo/p/api/video.php endpoint. This allows the attacker to read arbitrary files from the target QNAP NAS device, including highly sensitive files such as /etc/shadow and /root/.ssh/id_rsa. The exploit is pre-authentication and does not require valid credentials. The repository includes a README with usage instructions and references, a requirements.txt for dependencies (requests), and the main exploit script. The attack vector is network-based, requiring only HTTP(S) access to the vulnerable endpoints.
