This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/cisco_rv340_lan.rb) targeting Cisco RV160, RV260, RV340, and RV345 Small Business Routers running firmware 1.0.03.24 and below. The exploit leverages two vulnerabilities: an authentication bypass (CVE-2022-20705) via session ID directory traversal, and a command injection (CVE-2022-20707) in the /upload HTTP endpoint. The module supports both command execution (via reverse shell) and binary dropper payloads (ARMLE Meterpreter), making it weaponized and highly flexible. The main attack vector is network-based, exploiting the router's HTTPS interface (default port 443). The code is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with options for payload selection and target configuration. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution as the www-data user on vulnerable devices.
