          This module exploits authentication bypass (CVE-2018-17153) and
          command injection (CVE-2016-10108) vulnerabilities in Western
          Digital MyCloud before 2.30.196 in order to achieve
          unauthenticated remote code execution as the root user.

          The module first performs a check to see if the target is
          WD MyCloud. If so, it attempts to trigger an authentication
          bypass (CVE-2018-17153) via a crafted GET request to
          /cgi-bin/network_mgr.cgi. If the server responds as expected,
          the module assesses the vulnerability status by attempting to
          exploit a commend injection vulnerability (CVE-2016-10108) in
          order to print a random string via the echo command. This is
          done via a crafted POST request to /web/google_analytics.php.

          If the server is vulnerable, the same command injection vector
          is leveraged to execute the payload.

          This module has been successfully tested against Western Digital
          MyCloud version 2.30.183.

          Note: based on the available disclosures, it seems that the
          command injection vector (CVE-2016-10108) might be exploitable
          without the authentication bypass (CVE-2018-17153) on versions
          before 2.21.126. The obtained results on 2.30.183 imply that
          the patch for CVE-2016-10108 did not actually remove the command
          injection vector, but only prevented unauthenticated access to it.
