CVE-2022-25061 is a command injection vulnerability in TP-LINK TL-WR840N firmware version TL-WR840N(ES)_V6.20_180709. The issue was reported in the component/function oal_setIp6DefaultRoute. Based on the available description, insufficient neutralization of attacker-controlled input allows crafted data reaching this component to be interpreted as operating system commands.

This repository contains an exploit for CVE-2022-25061, a remote command execution vulnerability in the TP-Link WR840N router. The main exploit script (CVE-2022-25061.py) is written in Python and automates the exploitation process by sending crafted HTTP POST requests to the router's '/cgi?2' endpoint. The exploit requires valid administrator credentials and the IP address of the target router. The attack proceeds in multiple stages: it first uploads a reverse shell binary (reverse_shell_mipsle.c, compiled for MIPSLE) to the router via TFTP, then sets permissions and executes it. The reverse shell binary, once running on the router, connects back to the attacker's machine, providing a remote shell. The repository structure is straightforward: the Python script is the exploit, the C file is the reverse shell payload, and the README provides a brief description. The exploit is operational and requires the attacker to set up a TFTP server and compile the reverse shell for the appropriate architecture.
