This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting Schneider Electric Pelco Endura NET55XX Encoder devices (models NET5501, NET5501-I, NET5501-XT, NET5504, NET5500, NET5516, NET5508) affected by CVE-2019-6814. The exploit abuses insufficient access controls in the device's web UI to enable the SSH service and set a new root password. The module first checks for vulnerable devices using ONVIF UDP service discovery (port 3702), then sends an HTTP POST request to the '/cgi-bin/webra.fcgi?network/ssh' endpoint to enable SSH and change the root password. Afterward, it attempts to connect to the device via SSH as root using the new password, providing the attacker with full root access. The exploit is operational and provides a working payload for remote command execution as root. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module.
