# Exploit Author: xort [email protected]
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.barracuda.com/
# Software Link: https://www.barracuda.com/products/loadbalance & https://www.barracuda.com/products/webapplicationfirewall
# Version: Load Balancer Firmware <= v5.4.0.004 (2015-11-26) & Web App Firewall Firmware <= v8.0.1.007 (2016-01-07)
# Tested on: Load Balancer Firmware <= v5.4.0.004 (2015-11-26) & Web App Firewall Firmware <= 8.0.1.007 (2016-01-07)
# CVE : None.
# This exploit combines 2 bugs to leverage root access
# Vuln 1: ondefined_view_template trigger - File upload vuln
# Vuln 2: ondefined_remove_corefiles trigger - Command injection vuln (from loaded file data)

'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in
the Barracuda Web App Firewall Firmware Version <= 8.0.1.007 and Load Balancer Firmware <= v5.4.0.004
by exploiting a two vulnerabilities in the web administration interface. The first bug leverages a Arbitrary File
Upload vulnerability to create a malicious file containing shell commands before using a second bug meant to clean
up left-over core files on the device to execute them. By sending a specially crafted requests
it's possible to inject system commands while escalating to root do to relaxed sudo configurations on the applianaces.
