CVE-2013-0230 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the ExecuteSoapAction function of the SOAPAction handler in the HTTP service of MiniUPnP MiniUPnPd 1.0. The flaw is triggered by sending a long quoted method in a SOAP request, allowing remote attackers to overflow the stack and execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is present in over 330 products using MiniUPnP, and is widely exposed due to the default enablement of UPnP on many consumer and enterprise devices.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/upnp/miniupnpd_soap_bof.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2013-0230) in MiniUPnPd 1.0's SOAPAction HTTP header handling. The exploit targets both Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 and Airties RT-212 v1.2.0.23 devices running the vulnerable MiniUPnPd service. The module leverages the Metasploit framework's HTTP client and command stager mixins to deliver a payload via a crafted POST request to the root URI ('/'), with a maliciously constructed SOAPAction header. The payload can be customized and allows for remote code execution on the target device. The code is mature and weaponized, supporting both x86 and MIPSBE architectures, and is capable of deploying arbitrary shellcode or command stagers. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of target-specific logic and payload delivery mechanisms.
