CVE-2022-37061 is a remote OS command injection vulnerability affecting FLIR AX8 thermal sensor cameras running firmware up to and including version 1.46.16. The id parameter of an HTTP POST endpoint permits injection and execution of arbitrary shell commands as root, allowing compromise of the camera's underlying operating system. The vulnerability has been used as a propagation vector by Zerobot and Wszero botnets.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting FLIR AX8 thermal sensor cameras (firmware up to 1.46.16) vulnerable to unauthenticated remote command execution (CVE-2022-37061). The exploit leverages a command injection vulnerability in the 'id' POST parameter of the '/res.php' HTTP endpoint, allowing arbitrary shell commands to be executed as root. The module supports both direct command execution (using a netcat reverse shell) and staged payload delivery (using Meterpreter for ARMLE architecture). The exploit is fully weaponized, supporting customizable payloads via the Metasploit framework. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with methods for vulnerability checking, exploitation, and payload delivery. No authentication is required on the target, and exploitation is performed over the network via HTTP POST requests.
