CVE-2024-22729 is a command injection vulnerability in NETIS SYSTEMS MW5360 firmware version V1.0.1.3031. According to the provided content, the flaw is reachable via the password parameter on the login page. This indicates insufficient neutralization of special elements in OS command construction or execution, allowing attacker-controlled input from the login interface to be interpreted by the underlying system shell or command execution path.

password parameter on the login page should be corrected to eliminate shell command construction from untrusted input, use safe APIs that do not invoke a shell, and implement strict server-side input validation and allowlisting. Review all authentication and management interface parameters for similar command-injection patterns.1 valid exploit after Mallory filtered fakes, detection scripts, and README-only repos.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module implementing an unauthenticated remote command execution (RCE) exploit for the Netis MW5360 router (CVE-2024-22729). The exploit targets a command injection vulnerability in the router's web interface, specifically in the 'password' parameter of the login page. The module leverages Metasploit's HttpClient, CmdStager, and FileDropper mixins to deliver a payload (default: Meterpreter reverse shell for MIPSLE Linux) via a POST request to the '/cgi-bin/skk_set.cgi' endpoint. The exploit works by base64-encoding the injected command and bypassing authentication by omitting the authorization header. The module also includes a check method that queries '/cgi-bin/skk_get.cgi' to verify the target's model and firmware version. The exploit is weaponized, allowing for easy payload customization and reliable exploitation. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework, and is intended for use against vulnerable Netis MW5360 routers running firmware version 1.0.1.3442 or lower.
