CVE-2017-17215 is an OS command injection vulnerability in certain customized Huawei HG532 router versions. The device's UPnP WAN connection upgrade functionality insufficiently sanitizes attacker-controlled data in the NewStatusURL SOAP element, allowing injected shell commands to be executed. Exploitation is performed by sending a crafted authenticated SOAP request to the router's management service on TCP port 37215.

This 13-file Python PoC suite is centered on CVE-2014-9222 (Misfortune Cookie) in AllegroSoft RomPager, with an interactive console in main.py and standalone modules for fingerprinting, detection, authentication bypass, and denial of service. common.py contains a per-device realm-to-cookie-offset table covering multiple Billion, D-Link, TP-Link, Zyxel, and Azmoon models. The RomPager detector sends a canary cookie to confirm request-URI corruption; auth_bypass.py uses firmware-specific magic cookies to write authentication state; dos.py sends oversized Cookie headers and polls for a watchdog reboot. The suite also includes operational exploit modules for Accellion FTA CVE-2021-27101/27102 (Host-header SQLi to recover a secret, then write/verify a PHP webshell), Huawei HG532 CVE-2017-17215 (SOAP command injection), and MikroTik WinBox CVE-2018-14847 (directory traversal file read and credential decryption). scan.py combines service probes, although its WinBox check performs an actual credential-store read rather than a purely passive fingerprint.
This repository contains a working remote code execution (RCE) exploit for Huawei HG532d routers, targeting CVE-2017-17215. The main exploit is implemented in 'hg532d_exploit.py', which sends a crafted SOAP request to the router's UPnP service on port 37215 using HTTP Digest authentication (default credentials: dslf-config/admin). The payload downloads a MIPS busybox binary from an attacker-controlled server (192.168.1.6), sets it up, and uses it to open a reverse shell back to the attacker. The repository also includes a browser-based PoC ('web_exploit/poc_iframe.html') that submits a similar payload via a hidden form, demonstrating exploitation via a browser on the same network. The 'index.html' file serves as a landing page for the browser PoC. The exploit is operational, providing a real payload and demonstrating both direct (Python script) and indirect (browser) attack vectors. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the router's SOAP endpoint at http://192.168.1.1:37215/ctrlt/DeviceUpgrade_1 and the attacker's server at 192.168.1.6.
