CVE-2022-30023 is an authenticated command injection vulnerability in the Ping function of the Tenda ONT GPON AC1200 dual-band WiFi HG9 router running firmware v1.0.1. An authenticated attacker can exploit the function to execute operating-system commands on the device. A public Python proof of concept demonstrates successful authentication followed by interactive command execution. The vulnerability has also been associated with Zerobot propagation.

This repository contains a working exploit for CVE-2022-30023, an authenticated command injection vulnerability in the Tenda HG9 router. The repository consists of two files: a README.md with usage instructions and an example, and exploit.py, a Python script that implements the exploit. The script authenticates to the router's web interface using provided credentials, then allows the user to interactively execute arbitrary shell commands on the router by exploiting a command injection flaw in the /boaform/formPing endpoint (via the 'pingAddr' parameter). The exploit requires valid credentials and network access to the router's web interface. The code is operational and provides an interactive shell-like experience for the attacker. No hardcoded payload is present; the attacker supplies commands at runtime. The endpoints used for login, command injection, and logout are clearly defined in the code.
