CVE-2023-6895 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in Hikvision Intercom Broadcasting System version 3.0.3_20201113_RELEASE(HIK). The flaw is in /php/ping.php, where the jsondata[ip] argument is insufficiently sanitized before being incorporated into a system command. An attacker can supply crafted input such as shell metacharacters or command strings (the public disclosure cites input like "netstat -ano") to cause arbitrary operating system commands to be executed by the underlying application. The vulnerable code path is described as affecting unknown code within /php/ping.php, but the issue is clearly characterized as server-side command injection in the ping functionality.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2023-6895.py) targeting Hikvision Intercom Broadcasting System version 3.0.3_20201113_RELEASE, exploiting CVE-2023-6895. The exploit works by sending a POST request to the /php/ping.php endpoint on the target system, injecting an arbitrary command (provided by the user) via a crafted parameter. The script disables SSL verification and uses custom headers to mimic a browser. The README provides a simple usage example. The repository is straightforward, with one exploit script and a minimal README. The main capability is remote command execution on a vulnerable Hikvision device via a network-accessible HTTP endpoint.
