Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2018-14933 is a remote command execution vulnerability in upgrade_handle.php on NUUO NVRmini devices. The vulnerable functionality processes a writeuploaddir command and fails to properly neutralize shell metacharacters supplied in the uploaddir parameter. Because attacker-controlled input is incorporated into a shell command without sufficient sanitization, a remote attacker can inject arbitrary shell syntax and cause unintended operating system command execution on the device.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module exploit targeting a remote command execution vulnerability (CVE-2018-14933) in the NUUO NVRmini IP camera's web application. The exploit abuses the 'upgrade_handle.php' endpoint, specifically the 'writeuploaddir' command, to inject and execute arbitrary system commands via the 'uploaddir' GET parameter. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient mixin to interact with the target device over HTTP. The exploit is weaponized, allowing the attacker to deliver customizable command payloads for Unix, Linux, or Windows platforms. The only fingerprintable endpoint is '/upgrade_handle.php', which must be accessible on the target device. The module includes a check method to verify vulnerability and an exploit method to execute the payload. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
