This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby) that exploits an unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability (CVE-2022-40022) in Symmetricom SyncServer network time appliances. The exploit targets the /controller/ping.php endpoint, which is vulnerable to command injection via the 'hostname' POST parameter. The module is designed for S100 through S350 models (end-of-life) and S650 models prior to v2.2, where authentication is not required or is bypassable. The exploit works by sending crafted POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint, causing the target to download and execute a payload (ELF binary) from an attacker-controlled HTTP server. The payload is customizable and generated by Metasploit, typically providing a reverse shell or similar remote access. The repository is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the vulnerable PHP script on the target and the temporary file location used for payload execution. The exploit is operational and provides full remote code execution if the target is vulnerable and network conditions allow.
