CVE-2024-12847 is a critical vulnerability affecting NETGEAR DGN1000 devices before firmware version 1.1.00.48. The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication and send crafted HTTP requests to the setup.cgi endpoint, resulting in arbitrary operating system command execution with root privileges. The issue is consistent with an OS command injection condition in a web-exposed management interface, where insufficient input validation and access control permit attacker-supplied data to reach command execution logic. Successful exploitation does not require prior authentication and has been observed in active exploitation in the wild.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting an unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability (CVE-2024-12847) in Netgear DGN1000 (firmware <= 1.1.00.48) and DGN2000v1 routers. The exploit leverages the /setup.cgi HTTP endpoint, which is accessible without authentication, to execute arbitrary system commands via crafted GET requests. The module uses Metasploit's CmdStager to deliver payloads (defaulting to a Meterpreter reverse shell for MIPSBE Linux) and includes a check method to verify if the target is a vulnerable Netgear device by inspecting the WWW-Authenticate header. The exploit is operational and provides root-level code execution on the target device. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework.
