Loading vulnerability…
Power Distribution Units using Powertek firmware versions before 3.30.30 contain an improper authentication vulnerability in the web interface's data-retrieval CGI handler. A specially formed temporary-token cookie bypasses the active-session authorization check, allowing unauthenticated retrieval of protected configuration fields containing cleartext administrative credentials.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2022-33174, an authentication bypass vulnerability in Powertek PDU devices. The main file, CVE-2022-33174.py, allows an attacker to retrieve the administrator username and password from a vulnerable device by sending an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the endpoint /cgi/get_param.cgi?xml&sys.passwd&sys.su.name. The script can target a single device (via the -u argument) or multiple devices listed in a file (via the -f argument). The exploit checks for the presence of <sys.su.name> or <sys.passwd> in the response to confirm vulnerability and then extracts and displays the password. The repository also includes a README.md with usage instructions. No hardcoded credentials or external network endpoints are present; the script is designed to be run by a user against specified targets.
