Solstice Pod versions before 2.8.4 insufficiently validate user-supplied input in the networking-configuration functionality. An authenticated attacker can leverage this input-validation flaw to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2017-12945.py) targeting a remote, authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in Mersive Solstice Pods running firmware versions prior to 2.8.4 (CVE-2017-12945). The exploit leverages a lack of input validation in the device's configuration API, specifically the 'staticIP' parameter, to inject arbitrary shell commands executed as root. The script requires the attacker to provide the target device's address, administrator password, and the desired payload command. It sends a crafted HTTP POST request to the endpoint '/Config/service/saveData' on the target device, embedding the payload in the 'staticIP' field. If configured, the script can also retrieve command output by exfiltrating it via netcat and cleans up traces by deleting temporary files. The repository includes documentation, a license, and a directory for a vulnerable APK, but the main exploit logic resides in the single Python script. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain full root access to vulnerable devices over the network, provided valid credentials are available.
