CVE-2018-10660 is a shell command injection vulnerability affecting nearly 400 models of Axis Communications IP cameras. The vulnerability allows an attacker with network access to inject arbitrary shell commands into the device, potentially without authentication. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the camera firmware, enabling remote code execution on the device. The vulnerability can be chained with other flaws to bypass authentication and gain full control over the camera.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (axis_srv_parhand_rce.rb) that exploits a set of vulnerabilities (CVE-2018-10660, CVE-2018-10661, CVE-2018-10662) in Axis Network Cameras. The exploit leverages an authentication bypass in the .srv functionality and a command injection in the parhand D-Bus service to achieve remote code execution as root. The module supports both command and dropper payloads, including reverse shells and Meterpreter sessions, and targets Linux/ARM-based Axis cameras. The main attack vector is via HTTP requests to the camera's web interface, specifically to dynamically generated .srv endpoints (e.g., /index.html/<random>.srv). The exploit is weaponized, allowing for easy payload customization and reliable exploitation through the Metasploit framework.
