CVE-2015-1187 is a remote command injection vulnerability in the NCC service ping functionality of multiple D-Link and TRENDnet devices. The flaw is exposed through the ping tool endpoint, ping.ccp, which accepts the ping_addr parameter and fails to properly sanitize attacker-controlled input before passing it to an underlying system command. By injecting shell metacharacters or additional commands into this parameter, a remote attacker can cause the device to execute arbitrary commands in the context of the web management service. The vulnerability has been associated with in-the-wild exploitation against internet-exposed SOHO networking equipment, including use in malware propagation and router DNS-hijacking campaigns.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (multi_ncc_ping_exec.rb) that exploits a remote command injection vulnerability (CVE-2015-1187) in the NCC service of several D-Link and TRENDnet routers. The exploit targets the /ping.ccp HTTP endpoint, injecting commands via the 'ping_addr' POST parameter. The module supports both MIPSLE and MIPSBE Linux payloads, uploading a Metasploit-generated ELF binary to a writable directory (default: /tmp) on the target device using wget, then executing it to achieve remote code execution. The exploit is operational and allows for customizable payloads, such as reverse shells. The module is designed for use within the Metasploit framework and is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with options for target architecture, writable directory, and payload delivery method. The only file in the repository is the exploit module itself, written in Ruby.
