CVE-2022-28171 is a command injection vulnerability in the web module of certain Hikvision Hybrid SAN/Cluster Storage products. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation, allowing an attacker to send specially crafted messages containing malicious commands to the affected device, which are then executed with restricted privileges.

This repository provides Python scripts to identify and probe Hikvision devices for three known vulnerabilities: CVE-2017-7921 (authentication bypass), CVE-2021-36260 (command injection), and CVE-2022-28171 (blind SQL injection). The structure includes a 'cve' directory with individual scripts for each CVE, a device identifier script (hikvision_identifier.py), and a main probe script (hikvision_probe.py) that orchestrates the vulnerability checks. The scripts are designed to be run from the command line, taking lists of IPs or URLs via standard input. The main capabilities are network-based vulnerability detection and device identification. The endpoints targeted are specific to Hikvision device web interfaces and known vulnerable paths. No weaponized payloads are included; the scripts are proof-of-concept checkers for the listed vulnerabilities.
