CVE-2017-5162 is an improper access control vulnerability in the BINOM3 Universal Multifunctional Electric Power Quality Meter. The device lacks authentication for its remote service, allowing unauthenticated users to access application setup and configuration interfaces. This enables attackers to remotely alter device configurations and save modified settings without authorization. The vulnerability is trivially exploitable over the network and does not require any special privileges or user interaction.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting the Binom3 Multifunctional Revenue Energy Meter and Power Quality Analyzer web management portal. The module attempts to identify valid credentials using a brute-force approach with default or user-supplied credentials. Upon successful authentication, it downloads the device's configuration file and, if logged in as 'root', also retrieves the password file. The module interacts with the device over HTTP, specifically targeting the /~login endpoint for authentication and /~cfg_ask_xml?type=cfg and /~cfg_ask_xml?type=passw endpoints for file retrieval. The exploit is operational, providing credential brute-forcing and sensitive file extraction capabilities, and is designed for use within the Metasploit framework.
