Exploits buffer overflow in WatchGuard Firebox and XTM appliances, allowing unauthenticated remote command execution. Vulnerable versions: Fireware OS before 12.7.2_U2, 12.x before 12.1.3_U8, and 12.2.x through 12.5.x before 12.5.9_U2. Upon successful exploitation, results in remote code execution as user nobody.

'Description' => %q{  
This module exploits a buffer overflow at the administration interface (8080 or 4117) of WatchGuard Firebox  
and XTM appliances which is built from a cherrypy python backend sending XML-RPC requests to a C binary  
called wgagent using pre-authentication endpoint /agent/login.  
This vulnerability impacts Fireware OS before 12.7.2_U2, 12.x before 12.1.3_U8, and 12.2.x through 12.5.x  
before 12.5.9_U2. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution as user nobody.
