Loading vulnerability…
A path traversal vulnerability exists in Huawei HG255s-10 V100R001C163B025SP02 due to insufficient validation of HTTP request paths. This allows a remote attacker to access arbitrary local files on the device without authentication.

This repository provides proof-of-concept exploits for CVE-2017-17309, a directory traversal vulnerability in the Huawei HG255s router (firmware V100R001C163B025SP02). The exploit allows unauthenticated attackers on the local network to read arbitrary files from the router's filesystem by sending crafted HTTP GET requests to specific endpoints (e.g., /js/, /lib/, /res/) with directory traversal sequences. The main exploit payloads are documented in three text files, each demonstrating a different HTTP path to trigger the vulnerability and retrieve /etc/passwd. The repository includes a Python file (tools/hg255s_attack.py), but it is empty. The README provides background, references, and usage context. No automated exploit script is provided; the repository serves as a manual POC for researchers and penetration testers.
