CVE-2016-10372 is a critical vulnerability in the Eir D1000 modem caused by improper restriction of the TR-064 management protocol on TCP port 7547. The device exposes functionality intended for local management in a way that is reachable remotely, allowing an unauthenticated attacker on the Internet to interact with TR-064 actions. Reported exploitation includes opening WAN access to the web administration interface on TCP port 80, retrieving the device login password, and abusing the NewNTPServer feature to execute arbitrary commands. The issue effectively turns a remotely reachable management interface into an Internet-exposed command-execution path and enables subsequent reconfiguration of the device for continued remote access.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (tr064_ntpserver_cmdinject.rb) that exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2016-10372) in Zyxel/Eir D1000 DSL modems and similar devices. The exploit targets the TR-064 SOAP-based configuration protocol, specifically the SetNTPServers action, which is accessible without authentication on TCP port 7547. By injecting shell commands into the NewNTPServer1 parameter, the module achieves remote code execution as a privileged user. The exploit uses Metasploit's CmdStager to deliver a staged payload, typically resulting in a shell on the device. The module is operational and requires the target device to be running a vulnerable firmware version with the TR-064 service exposed. The main endpoints involved are the /UD/act?1 SOAP endpoint for exploitation and /globe for vulnerability checking. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
