CVE-2023-45498 is a command injection vulnerability in VinChin Backup & Recovery versions 5.0., 6.0., 6.7., and 7.0.. The vulnerability arises from improper input sanitization in an HTTP API endpoint, allowing attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server. The API could be accessed using hardcoded credentials, bypassing access controls and enabling high-privilege actions such as managing storage, backups, jobs, cloud accounts, hypervisors, and users.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a command injection vulnerability in Vinchin Backup & Recovery (CVE-2023-45498, CVE-2023-45499) for versions 5.0.*, 6.0.*, 6.7.*, and 7.0.* (prior to 7.0.2) on Linux/Unix. The exploit leverages insufficient input validation in the 'checkIpExists' API endpoint, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the web server user. The module uses Metasploit's command stager to deliver and execute a payload via a POST request to the '/api/' endpoint, using a hardcoded API key. The exploit checks the target's version by accessing '/login.php' and stages the payload in a writable directory on the target. The code is weaponized, allowing for customizable payloads and reliable exploitation through the Metasploit framework.
