CVE-2018-10562 is an OS command-injection vulnerability in the web-based network diagnostics interface of Dasan GPON home routers. Attacker-controlled commands in the dest_host parameter of a diag_action=ping request are concatenated into the ping command, allowing arbitrary command execution. Diagnostic results are saved temporarily and returned when the diagnostics page is revisited, enabling retrieval of command output. Chaining this vulnerability with the separate CVE-2018-10561 authentication bypass enables unauthenticated remote command execution.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (Pingpon.py) and a README.md. The script automates the exploitation of a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2018-10562) in GPON home routers. It uses the Shodan API to search for internet-exposed GPON routers, then sends a crafted POST request to the '/GponForm/diag_Form?images/' endpoint on each discovered device, injecting arbitrary Linux commands via the 'dest_host' parameter. The script then retrieves the output of the executed command from the '/diag.html?images/' endpoint. The user must provide a valid Shodan API key (stored in 'api.txt') and the Linux command to execute. The README provides usage instructions and prerequisites. The exploit is operational, allowing mass exploitation of vulnerable routers for arbitrary command execution.
