CVE-2017-17215 is an operating-system command-injection vulnerability affecting certain customized firmware versions of Huawei HG532 home routers. The vulnerable UPnP/TR-064 DeviceUpgrade service is accessible over TCP port 37215, including through the WAN interface on affected devices. Shell metacharacters injected into the NewStatusURL and NewDownloadURL parameters allow arbitrary command execution during processing of firmware-upgrade requests. The vulnerability has been exploited to download and execute Mirai-derived botnet malware. Authentication requirements are disputed: the vulnerability description specifies an authenticated attacker, while exploitation research describes unauthenticated remote code execution.

This 13-file Python PoC suite is centered on CVE-2014-9222 (Misfortune Cookie) in AllegroSoft RomPager, with an interactive console in main.py and standalone modules for fingerprinting, detection, authentication bypass, and denial of service. common.py contains a per-device realm-to-cookie-offset table covering multiple Billion, D-Link, TP-Link, Zyxel, and Azmoon models. The RomPager detector sends a canary cookie to confirm request-URI corruption; auth_bypass.py uses firmware-specific magic cookies to write authentication state; dos.py sends oversized Cookie headers and polls for a watchdog reboot. The suite also includes operational exploit modules for Accellion FTA CVE-2021-27101/27102 (Host-header SQLi to recover a secret, then write/verify a PHP webshell), Huawei HG532 CVE-2017-17215 (SOAP command injection), and MikroTik WinBox CVE-2018-14847 (directory traversal file read and credential decryption). scan.py combines service probes, although its WinBox check performs an actual credential-store read rather than a purely passive fingerprint.
This repository contains a working remote code execution (RCE) exploit for Huawei HG532d routers, targeting CVE-2017-17215. The main exploit is implemented in 'hg532d_exploit.py', which sends a crafted SOAP request to the router's UPnP service on port 37215 using HTTP Digest authentication (default credentials: dslf-config/admin). The payload downloads a MIPS busybox binary from an attacker-controlled server (192.168.1.6), sets it up, and uses it to open a reverse shell back to the attacker. The repository also includes a browser-based PoC ('web_exploit/poc_iframe.html') that submits a similar payload via a hidden form, demonstrating exploitation via a browser on the same network. The 'index.html' file serves as a landing page for the browser PoC. The exploit is operational, providing a real payload and demonstrating both direct (Python script) and indirect (browser) attack vectors. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the router's SOAP endpoint at http://192.168.1.1:37215/ctrlt/DeviceUpgrade_1 and the attacker's server at 192.168.1.6.
