CVE-2017-18369 is a command injection vulnerability in the Billion 5200W-T router firmware version 1.02b.rc5.dt49 distributed by TrueOnline. The flaw exists in the Remote System Log forwarding functionality exposed through the adv_remotelog.asp page. An unauthenticated attacker can supply crafted input to the syslogServerAddr parameter, which is not properly sanitized before being used by the underlying system, allowing arbitrary OS command injection.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting the TrueOnline/Billion 5200W-T router for unauthenticated and authenticated command injection vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-18369, CVE-2017-18372). The exploit attempts to execute arbitrary commands on the router by abusing vulnerable CGI endpoints exposed via HTTP. If the unauthenticated vector fails, it falls back to using default credentials for an authenticated attack. The main payload starts a telnet daemon on the router, allowing the attacker to obtain a shell. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP client mixin. The code is operational and provides a working exploit for vulnerable routers, with endpoints and attack vectors clearly defined.
