CVE-2020-8657 affects EyesOfNetwork 5.3. The product installation uses the same default API key across installations, hardcoded as EONAPI_KEY in include/api_functions.php for API version 2.4.2. Because this secret is not unique per deployment and is effectively embedded in the application, an attacker can derive, calculate, or guess the administrator access token generated from or protected by that key. The core issue is the use of a hardcoded credential/secret shared by all installations, which undermines the trust model of the API authentication mechanism.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting EyesOfNetwork versions 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 running on Linux. The exploit leverages multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-8654, CVE-2020-8655, CVE-2020-8656, CVE-2020-8657, CVE-2020-9465) to achieve remote code execution as root. The main attack vector is via the web interface, exploiting command injection in the 'target' parameter of the AutoDiscovery feature. The module can bypass authentication using a hardcoded API key or SQL injection, depending on the version. It writes a malicious Nmap NSE script to disk and triggers it via a privileged Nmap execution, resulting in code execution as root. The module supports multiple payloads, including Meterpreter and reverse bash shells. The code is mature, weaponized, and part of the Metasploit framework, making it easy to use and customize. The only file present is a Ruby Metasploit module, and it contains all logic for exploitation, authentication bypass, and cleanup.
