EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2025-34112. PoCs published by Metasploit, including Metasploit module exploits/linux/http/riverbed_netprofiler_netexpress_exec.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a SQL injection in the login form to add a malicious user, then leverages a command injection vulnerability to achieve remote code execution, and finally abuses an insecure sudoers configuration to escalate privileges to root on Riverbed SteelCentral NetProfiler/NetExpress.

Description

An authenticated multi-stage remote code execution vulnerability exists in Riverbed SteelCentral NetProfiler and NetExpress 10.8.7 virtual appliances. A SQL injection vulnerability in the '/api/common/1.0/login' endpoint can be exploited to create a new user account in the appliance database. This user can then trigger a command injection vulnerability in the '/index.php?page=licenses' endpoint to execute arbitrary commands. The attacker may escalate privileges to root by exploiting an insecure sudoers configuration that allows the 'mazu' user to execute arbitrary commands as root via SSH key extraction and command chaining. Successful exploitation allows full remote root access to the virtual appliance.
