Loading vulnerability…
A system command injection vulnerability exists in the appGet.cgi script of ASUS RT-AC3200 firmware version 3.0.0.4.382.50010. The vulnerability is due to improper sanitization of the 'load_script' URL parameter, allowing attackers to inject and execute arbitrary system commands on the device.

This repository contains a Bash script (TimeInjector.sh) that exploits CVE-2018-14714, a remote code execution vulnerability. The script first attempts to authenticate to the target web application using provided credentials via the /login.cgi endpoint. Upon successful login, it checks for the presence of the vulnerable /appGet.cgi endpoint and tests for command injection by measuring response delays (e.g., using 'sleep 3'). If the target is vulnerable, the script allows the user to execute arbitrary shell commands, read files, list directories, and even provides an interactive shell interface. The exploit is operational and provides practical post-exploitation capabilities. The main endpoints targeted are /login.cgi for authentication and /appGet.cgi?hook=load_script(...) for command injection. The repository is structured with a single exploit script and a README describing its usage and the underlying vulnerability.
This repository provides a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2018-14714, a system command injection vulnerability in the appGet.cgi endpoint of several ASUS router models (including RT-AC3200 and others) running specific firmware versions. The exploit is implemented in a single Python script (poc.py), which connects to the target router's web interface (default port 80) and sends a crafted HTTP GET request to /appGet.cgi with a malicious 'hook' parameter. This parameter triggers the router to execute arbitrary system commands—in this case, creating a file (/www/emptyFile.asp) on the device. The script then attempts to access this file to confirm whether the exploit was successful, indicating the target is vulnerable. The README provides detailed vulnerability information, affected models/versions, and usage instructions. No framework is used; the exploit is a standalone POC.
This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2018-14714, a remote command execution vulnerability affecting certain ASUS routers (e.g., RT-N18U) running vulnerable firmware versions. The exploit requires valid credentials to authenticate to the router's web interface. The main script, 'CVE-2018-14714-RCE_PoC.py', performs the following steps: (1) checks connectivity to the target, (2) authenticates using provided credentials, (3) verifies the presence of the vulnerable 'appGet.cgi' endpoint, (4) uses a time-based technique to confirm the vulnerability, and (5) if run in 'shell' mode, provides an interactive pseudo-shell for executing arbitrary commands on the router. The README provides detailed usage instructions, including how to generate and upload a reverse shell payload using msfvenom and wget, and notes on command length limitations. The exploit leverages HTTP endpoints '/login.cgi' for authentication and '/appGet.cgi?hook=load_script("<payload>")' for command injection. The repository is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on affected devices.
