Rapid7 released a Metasploit update adding seven new modules plus multiple enhancements and fixes, including new exploit support for high-severity vulnerabilities affecting AI infrastructure, remote access appliances, and VoIP devices. The release highlights an Ollama model registry path traversal chain (CVE-2024-37032, CVSS 8.8) that abuses the pull mechanism to achieve arbitrary file write and escalate to unauthenticated root RCE, and a Grandstream GXP1600 stack overflow (CVE-2026-2329, CVSS 9.3) that can yield a root session and is paired with post-exploitation capabilities such as credential harvesting and SIP traffic interception/proxying.
The update also adds/updates an exploit for BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (PRA) / Remote Support (RS) appliances via unauthenticated command injection (CVE-2026-1731, CVSS 9.9), and introduces a BeyondTrust helper library to support future module development and port existing modules. On the evasion side, Metasploit gained a Linux ARM64 RC4 “packer” module (linux/aarch64/rc4_packer) featuring in-memory ELF execution and sleep-based evasion, while several existing modules and auxiliary scanners received quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes (e.g., improved checks and reduced false positives/crashes).

Rapid7 released new *Metasploit Framework* content adding multiple modules that weaponize a **FreePBX** vulnerability chain starting with **CVE-2025-66039** (authentication bypass) to enable unauthenticated attackers to reach **remote code execution (RCE)**. The modules, authored by **Noah King** and **msutovsky-r7**, demonstrate how an initial auth bypass can be combined with follow-on flaws to move from external access to full system compromise. The new FreePBX modules include an exploit that chains **CVE-2025-66039** with **CVE-2025-61675** (SQL injection) to insert a malicious job into the `cron_job` database table and execute arbitrary code, plus an auxiliary module using the same SQLi path to create a rogue administrator account. A second exploit chains **CVE-2025-66039** with **CVE-2025-61678** (unrestricted firmware file upload) to place a webshell on the server for RCE. Separate reporting also notes the same Metasploit update introduced additional exploit modules affecting other enterprise software (including *Cacti* and *SmarterMail*), but the detailed technical coverage in the sources focuses primarily on the FreePBX chaining approach and module implementations (e.g., `unix/http/freepbx_custom_extension_rce` and `unix/http/freepbx_firmware_file_upload`).

Rapid7 submitted a Metasploit module for **Ivanti Connect Secure** that targets the chained vulnerabilities `CVE-2023-46805` and `CVE-2024-21887`, a combination widely associated with remote code execution on exposed appliances. The pull request indicates offensive security tooling has been updated to support exploitation of the authentication bypass and command injection chain, lowering the barrier for defenders and attackers alike to reproduce the issue in testing or live environments. A separate GitHub reference shows ProjectDiscovery adding a Nuclei template for `CVE-2025-4665`, identified as a **SQL injection** flaw in the **WordPress CFDB7** plugin. While the available material does not include exploitation details or patch guidance, both references show public security tooling rapidly incorporating newly disclosed vulnerabilities, increasing the urgency for organizations to identify exposed Ivanti gateways and vulnerable WordPress installations and apply mitigations or updates.

Rapid7 developers added and refined a Metasploit module for **CVE-2026-41477**, an unauthenticated IPC named pipe local privilege escalation flaw in **Deskflow**. The work tracks exploit support for a vulnerability that could allow a local attacker to elevate privileges through Deskflow's inter-process communication mechanism, and the issue was added to the Metasploit project workflow for further development. The updated module was reworked to use direct `kernel32` Railgun API calls for named pipe communication instead of `cmd_exec` and PowerShell wrappers, while also replacing PowerShell-based environment variable expansion with native path expansion. Developers removed the WMI launcher and intermediate PowerShell scripts, limited the module to **Meterpreter** sessions because Railgun is required, and added documentation with verified scenario output as the exploit support matured.
