CVE-2015-2051 is a remote command injection vulnerability affecting D-Link DIR-645 Wired/Wireless Router Rev. Ax devices running firmware 1.04b12 and earlier. The flaw is exposed through the HNAP interface and can be triggered via the GetDeviceSettings action. Multiple reports characterize the issue as abuse of the HNAP SOAPAction handling that results in blind OS command injection, allowing attacker-supplied input to be interpreted by the underlying operating system. Because the vulnerable functionality is reachable remotely through the router’s management interface, successful exploitation can lead directly to arbitrary command execution on the device.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2015-2051) in the HNAP SOAP interface of various D-Link and TRENDnet routers. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the /HNAP1/ endpoint, injecting shell commands into the SOAPAction HTTP header. The module uses Metasploit's CmdStager to deliver and execute arbitrary shell commands on the target device, achieving remote code execution as root without authentication. The module supports both MIPS Little Endian and Big Endian architectures, targeting a range of affected router models. The code is operational and leverages Metasploit's framework for payload delivery and session management. The only file present is the exploit module itself, written in Ruby, and it is structured according to Metasploit conventions.
