CVE-2021-27101 is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Accellion File Transfer Appliance (FTA) versions 9_12_370 and earlier. A crafted HTTP Host header in a request to the document_root endpoint is incorporated into SQL processing without adequate neutralization, permitting attacker-controlled SQL execution. The flaw was exploited in the wild as part of attacks against exposed FTA appliances.

This 13-file Python PoC suite is centered on CVE-2014-9222 (Misfortune Cookie) in AllegroSoft RomPager, with an interactive console in main.py and standalone modules for fingerprinting, detection, authentication bypass, and denial of service. common.py contains a per-device realm-to-cookie-offset table covering multiple Billion, D-Link, TP-Link, Zyxel, and Azmoon models. The RomPager detector sends a canary cookie to confirm request-URI corruption; auth_bypass.py uses firmware-specific magic cookies to write authentication state; dos.py sends oversized Cookie headers and polls for a watchdog reboot. The suite also includes operational exploit modules for Accellion FTA CVE-2021-27101/27102 (Host-header SQLi to recover a secret, then write/verify a PHP webshell), Huawei HG532 CVE-2017-17215 (SOAP command injection), and MikroTik WinBox CVE-2018-14847 (directory traversal file read and credential decryption). scan.py combines service probes, although its WinBox check performs an actual credential-store read rather than a purely passive fingerprint.
