CVE-2021-27101 is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Accellion File Transfer Appliance (FTA) 9_12_370 and earlier. A remote attacker can inject SQL through a crafted HTTP Host header submitted to a vulnerable web endpoint. Exploitation can expose database information and security tokens; observed attacks enabled remote command execution and deployment of the DEWMODE web shell. The vulnerability was exploited in campaigns that also used other Accellion FTA vulnerabilities. FTA_9_12_380 and later fix this specific flaw.

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.
