CVE-2022-39986 is a command-injection vulnerability affecting RaspAP versions 2.8.0 through 2.8.7. Insufficient handling of the cfg_id parameter in OpenVPN configuration activation and deletion functionality permits unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands.

This repository contains an operational exploit toolkit targeting RaspAP installations vulnerable to CVE-2022-39986. The main script, 'raspap_hunter.sh', is a Bash script that automates the process of discovering vulnerable RaspAP instances using Shodan, testing them for the vulnerability, and, if found, deploying a PHP reverse shell payload ('php-reverse-shell.php') to gain remote shell access. The script checks for required dependencies, downloads the reverse shell payload if missing, and uses ngrok to facilitate a reverse TCP connection. The exploit works by abusing the '/ajax/openvpn/del_ovpncfg.php' endpoint on the target to execute arbitrary commands, including downloading and running the reverse shell. The repository structure is straightforward, with the main Bash exploit script, the PHP reverse shell payload, and supporting documentation. The exploit is operational and provides a working remote shell if the target is vulnerable and accessible.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module (raspap_rce.rb) that exploits an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability (CVE-2022-39986) in RaspAP versions 2.8.0 through 2.8.7. The exploit targets the /ajax/openvpn/activate_ovpncfg.php and /ajax/openvpn/del_ovpncfg.php endpoints, abusing the 'cfg_id' POST parameter to inject and execute arbitrary commands as the user running RaspAP. The module supports both direct command execution and staged payloads (such as reverse shells) using Metasploit's payload system. No authentication is required, and the exploit is effective against default installations of the vulnerable RaspAP versions. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, making it easily customizable and weaponized for offensive security testing.
