Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2014-125117 is a stack-based buffer overflow in the my_cgi.cgi component of certain D-Link devices, including DSP-W215 firmware version 1.02. A specially crafted HTTP POST request directed to the /common/info.cgi endpoint can trigger the overflow, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute code with system-level privileges.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/dlink_dspw215_info_cgi_bof.rb) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the D-Link DSP-W215 smart plug (firmware v1.02) and potentially other D-Link devices. The vulnerability resides in the /common/info.cgi handler, which is accessible via HTTP. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted POST request to this endpoint, overflowing a buffer in the my_cgi.cgi component and hijacking execution to run arbitrary shell commands on the device. The module uses Metasploit's command stager to deliver the payload, which is executed as root on the target. The exploit is operational and provides remote code execution capabilities. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the /common/info.cgi path on the device's web interface. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with methods for checking target vulnerability, preparing the payload, and executing the exploit.
