Loading vulnerability…
An authenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on D-Link Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit AC1200 Router DIR-846 (firmware 100A53DBR-Retail) by manipulating the QoS POST parameter. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation or sanitization of user-supplied data in the QoS configuration functionality, allowing code injection and execution with the privileges of the web management process.

This repository contains a Python exploit (dlink.py) targeting CVE-2023-43284, an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the D-Link DIR-846 router (tested on firmware 100A53DBR-Retail). The exploit abuses the QoS settings via the /HNAP1/ endpoint, injecting arbitrary shell commands into the smartqos_priority_devices parameter. The script first authenticates to the router using the provided admin password, then crafts and sends a malicious POST request to trigger command execution, and finally retrieves the output from a specific endpoint. The exploit requires valid admin credentials and network access to the router's web interface. The repository is structured with a single exploit script and a README providing usage instructions and context. No detection or fake code is present; the exploit is operational and provides direct command execution on the target device.
