CVE-2013-10048 is an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability affecting various legacy D-Link routers, including DIR-300 rev B and DIR-600 devices running firmware versions up to 2.13 and 2.14b01 respectively. The issue is present in the command.php endpoint, which fails to properly authenticate requests and inadequately sanitizes the POST cmd parameter before passing attacker-controlled input to the underlying shell. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted POST request to command.php and cause arbitrary operating system commands to be executed with root privileges on the device.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerabilities in certain D-Link routers (notably DIR-600 2.14b01 and DIR-300 rev B 2.13). The exploit leverages a command injection flaw in the /command.php endpoint, which is accessible without authentication. The module sends a POST request to /command.php with a payload that starts a telnet daemon on a random high port. It then attempts to connect to this telnet service, providing the attacker with an interactive shell on the device. The exploit is operational and provides a working shell if the target is vulnerable. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
