CVE-2024-10915 is a critical remote OS command injection vulnerability affecting D-Link DNS-320, DNS-320LW, DNS-325, and DNS-340L devices through at least 2024-10-28. The flaw is present in the cgi_user_add function exposed by the account management CGI endpoint. Improper handling of the group argument allows attacker-controlled input to be incorporated into an operating system command, resulting in command injection. The issue is remotely reachable and has been publicly disclosed. The affected products are legacy NAS devices, and reporting indicates exploitation attempts have been observed in the wild, including activity associated with Mirai-derived botnet operations.

This repository contains a Python exploit for CVE-2024-10915, a command injection vulnerability affecting several D-Link NAS models (DNS-320, DNS-320LW, DNS-325, DNS-340L). The exploit leverages the /cgi-bin/account_mgr.cgi?cmd=cgi_user_add endpoint, injecting arbitrary system commands via the 'group' parameter. The exploit script (dlink_nas_rce_cve_2024_10915.py) is a standalone Python 3 tool that allows the user to specify the target URL, the command to execute, an optional HTTP proxy, and an output file for the response. The script is operational and provides direct remote code execution on unauthenticated targets. The README.md provides detailed usage instructions, affected products, and example commands. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting exposed HTTP endpoints on vulnerable D-Link NAS devices. No authentication is required for exploitation.
