CVE-2019-12780 is a command injection vulnerability in the Belkin Wemo Enabled Crock-Pot UPnP API. The flaw is exposed through the SetSmartDevInfo action, where the SmartDevURL argument is not safely handled and can be used to inject operating-system commands. An attacker can trigger the issue by sending a crafted POST request to the device's UPnP control endpoint. The vulnerability does not require authentication, allowing remote exploitation against reachable devices. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary command execution on the affected device.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'Belkin Wemo UPnP Remote Code Execution'. The module exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2019-12780) in the Belkin Wemo UPnP API, specifically via the SmartDevURL argument to the SetSmartDevInfo SOAP action. The exploit targets Wemo devices running firmware versions below 2.00.8643, which are vulnerable to remote code execution via network-accessible UPnP services (typically on TCP port 49152 or 49153). The module supports both generic Unix command execution and deployment of a Meterpreter reverse shell for MIPSLE architecture. The main endpoints involved are '/setup.xml' (for device and version detection) and '/upnp/control/basicevent1' (for exploitation). The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient and CmdStager mixins, making it a weaponized, easily customizable exploit for penetration testers.
