This repository contains a single Metasploit module (acronis_cyber_protect_unauth_rce_cve_2022_3405.rb) that exploits CVE-2022-3405, an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Acronis Cyber Protect 15 (before build 29486) and Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 (before build 16545) on both Windows and Linux. The exploit leverages the agent registration API, which allows anonymous registration and provides a bearer token with admin privileges. This token can be used to execute arbitrary commands on the appliance and all registered agents via the management web console, which runs on the same port (default 9877, SSL enabled). The module supports both Unix/Linux and Windows command execution, and the payload is customizable via the Metasploit framework. The exploit is weaponized, allowing for easy payload selection and execution. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the management web console at https://<target>:9877/. The repository is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
