CVE-2013-10059 is an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in the web management interface of various D-Link routers, confirmed on DIR-615 H1 running firmware 8.04. The flaw is present in the tools_vct.htm diagnostic endpoint, where user-supplied input from the ping_ipaddr parameter is not properly sanitized before being passed to an underlying system shell. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary shell commands by embedding them with backtick encapsulation in the ping_ipaddr value. The injection is described as blind, meaning command output is not necessarily returned directly in the HTTP response, but commands are still executed on the device.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/dlink_dir615_up_exec.rb) that exploits an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability (CVE-2013-10059) in the D-Link DIR-615 router (hardware revision H1, firmware 8.04). The exploit targets the web interface, requiring valid credentials (default: admin/admin or admin/password). It leverages a vulnerable parameter in the /tools_vct.htm endpoint to inject commands via the 'ping_ipaddr' field. The module supports both command execution and uploading/executing a custom Linux MIPSLE payload (e.g., reverse shell) by hosting it via an HTTP server and instructing the device to download and run it. The exploit is weaponized, allowing for flexible payload delivery and execution. The code is written in Ruby and is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework.
