Pi-Hole heisenbergCompensator Blocklist OS Command Execution
Posted on 18 May 2020
This Metasploit module exploits a command execution in Pi-Hole versions 4.4 and below. A new blocklist is added, and then an update is forced (gravity) to pull in the blocklist content. PHP content is then written to a file within the webroot. Phase 1 writes a sudo pihole command to launch teleporter, effectively running a privilege escalation. Phase 2 writes our payload to teleporter.php, overwriting the content. Lastly, the phase 1 PHP file is called in the web root, which launches our payload in teleporter.php with root privileges.
