LibreNMS addhost Command Injection

This Metasploit module exploits a command injection vulnerability in the open source network management software known as LibreNMS. The community parameter used in a POST request to the addhost functionality is unsanitized. This parameter is later used as part of a shell command that gets passed to the popen function in capture.inc.php, which can result in execution of arbitrary code. This module requires authentication to LibreNMS first.
