Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in Twonky Server versions 7.0.11 through 8.5. The vulnerability is present in the handling of the 'contentbase' parameter in the 'rpc/set_all' endpoint, where insufficient sanitization allows remote attackers to use '..' sequences to access and share the contents of arbitrary directories on the server.

This repository provides operational exploit code for two vulnerabilities in TwonkyMedia Server (CVE-2018-7171: directory traversal, and CVE-2018-7203: persistent XSS). The main exploit script, twonky.py, allows an attacker to set the 'contentbase' parameter to '/../' via the /rpc/set_all endpoint, enabling traversal and enumeration of the entire filesystem on vulnerable devices. The script provides an interactive interface to browse directories, highlights files with sensitive keywords, and attempts to discover session cookies that could be used to further compromise WD NAS devices. The downloadFiles.py script enables bulk downloading of media files from indexed directories. The repository targets TwonkyMedia Server versions 7.0.11 through 8.5, which are commonly found on NAS devices and are often exposed to the internet without password protection. The exploit is network-based, requires no authentication on default setups, and can lead to significant data exposure and potential device takeover. The code is written in Python and is ready to use with minimal setup.
