CVE-2013-3568 is a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the Cisco Linksys WRT110 router web management interface. The flaw allows a remote attacker to cause an authenticated user’s browser to submit unintended requests to the device, resulting in unauthorized actions being performed with the victim’s existing administrative session. Publicly available information identifies the issue as CSRF but does not provide detailed technical information about the specific vulnerable endpoint or function.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/linksys_wrt110_cmd_exec.rb) targeting a remote command injection vulnerability (CVE-2013-3568) in the web interface of Linksys WRT100 and WRT110 routers. The exploit leverages a vulnerability in the 'pingstr' parameter of the /ping.cgi endpoint, allowing an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root. The module requires valid administrator credentials (default: admin/admin) and network access to the router's HTTP interface. The exploit uses Metasploit's command stager to deliver and execute payloads, typically via the echo method. The module also includes a check method to verify if the target is a vulnerable device by querying the /HNAP1/ endpoint for the model name. The code is written in Ruby and is structured according to Metasploit conventions, with clear separation of initialization, checking, exploitation, and helper methods. No hardcoded IP addresses or external domains are present; all endpoints are relative to the target router.
