CVE-2024-5910 is a critical missing-authentication vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition. A critical administrative function is exposed without proper authentication checks, allowing an attacker with network access to the Expedition instance to take over an Expedition administrator account. Because Expedition is used for configuration migration, tuning, and enrichment, successful exploitation can expose sensitive material stored or imported into the platform, including configuration secrets, credentials, and related administrative data. The issue has been reported as actively exploited in the wild.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting Palo Alto Expedition (version 1.2.91 and below) for remote code execution via two vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-5910 (admin password reset) and CVE-2024-9464 (authenticated OS command injection). The module can exploit the command injection directly if valid credentials are provided, or it can first reset the admin password to the default and then proceed. The exploit interacts with the Expedition web interface over HTTPS, using endpoints such as /bin/Auth.php for authentication, /OS/startup/restore/restoreAdmin.php for password reset, and /bin/CronJobs.php for command injection. The payload is a staged shell command, typically used to gain a shell as the www-data user. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, making it weaponized and easily customizable for attackers.
