Loading vulnerability…
A vulnerability in the ACEManager component of ALEOS versions 4.16 and earlier allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition by exploiting insufficient input sanitization during authentication. The flaw allows crafted input to disrupt ACEManager, though other router functions remain unaffected. ACEManager automatically recovers by restarting within approximately ten seconds.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2023-40459, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability affecting the ACEManager component of Sierra Wireless ALEOS version 4.16 and earlier. The main file, 'CVE-2023-40459.py', is a Python script that repeatedly sends unauthenticated XML login requests to the '/xml/Connect.xml' endpoint of a specified target device over HTTP or HTTPS. The script is designed to exhaust the target's resources, potentially causing the ACEManager service to become unresponsive. The exploit requires the attacker to specify the target's address and port, and it uses custom HTTP headers to mimic a legitimate browser request. The repository also includes a README.md file with usage instructions and references. No detection scripts or fake code are present; the exploit is a functional DoS PoC targeting a specific network-exposed endpoint.
