CVE-2017-8225 is an authentication bypass in the OEM-customized, GoAhead-based HTTP server used by Wireless IP Camera (P2P) WIFICAM devices. Access checks for credential-bearing camera configuration files can be bypassed by supplying empty loginuse and loginpas URI parameters. An unauthenticated attacker can retrieve camera credentials and configured FTP and SMTP account details. The flaw originates in OEM customizations rather than GoAhead itself. Combining the disclosed credentials with a separate authenticated FTP configuration command-injection vulnerability enables unauthenticated remote code execution as root.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2017-8225, a vulnerability affecting Wireless IP Camera (P2P) WIFICAM devices using the GoAhead web server. The exploit targets a flaw in the handling of the system.ini file, which allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive credentials by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the /system.ini?loginuse&loginpas endpoint. The main script (CVE-2017-8225.py) supports both single-target and mass scanning modes, extracts credentials from the binary response, and displays them in a formatted table as well as saving them to a CSV file. The repository also includes a README.md with background and usage information, and a requirements.txt listing necessary Python dependencies. The exploit is network-based and does not require authentication, making it a high-impact PoC for credential leakage in affected devices.
