Loading vulnerability…
A vulnerability in the UpLoadServlet class of NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary files due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data. This can be exploited to achieve remote code execution as SYSTEM. Authentication is required, but the authentication mechanism can be bypassed, making exploitation feasible by unauthenticated attackers.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/http/netgear_nms_rce.rb) targeting multiple vulnerabilities in NETGEAR ProSafe Network Management System 300 (NMS300) for Windows. The exploit leverages an authentication bypass and arbitrary file upload vulnerability to upload a malicious JSP file containing a base64-encoded Windows executable payload. The payload is then executed on the target system, resulting in remote code execution as the SYSTEM user. The module is operational and can deliver a Meterpreter shell or other payloads. It targets several versions of NMS300 and is associated with CVE-2023-38096, CVE-2023-38098, and CVE-2016-1525. The main attack vector is network-based, exploiting the web interface (default port 8080). The module defines two main HTTP endpoints: one for file upload and another for payload execution. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
