CVE-2023-38829 is a remote code execution vulnerability in NETIS SYSTEMS WF2409E firmware version 3.6.42541. The vulnerability exists in the ping and traceroute functions of the diagnostic tools component within the admin management interface. Improper input validation allows a remote attacker to inject and execute arbitrary commands via crafted input to these functions.

This repository contains two Python scripts and supporting documentation for exploiting a command injection vulnerability in the Netis WF2409E router (hardware version V1.8). The main exploit (2.py) targets the router's web interface, specifically the /cgi-bin-igd/netcore_set.cgi endpoint, by injecting arbitrary shell commands via the 'tools_ip_url' POST parameter. The script then retrieves the output of the executed command from /cgi-bin-igd/netcore_get.cgi. The exploit requires valid credentials (default: admin/admin) and network access to the router's web interface (port 80). The README.md provides extensive technical details about the device, the vulnerability, and exploitation steps, confirming that successful exploitation grants root-level command execution on the device. The repository is operational, providing a working exploit for remote command execution. No CVE is referenced, but the exploit is specific to the Netis WF2409E router.
