CVE-2024-3272 is a hard-coded credentials vulnerability affecting D-Link DNS-320L, DNS-325, DNS-327L, and DNS-340L NAS devices, with the affected-version cutoff listed as 20240403. The HTTP GET request handler accepts a built-in account with an empty password, allowing remote attackers to bypass authentication without legitimate user credentials. The vulnerability can be chained with the separate command injection vulnerability CVE-2024-3273 to execute arbitrary commands. The affected products were already end-of-life when the vulnerability was assigned, and no patches are available. Public exploits and active exploitation have been documented.

This repository provides an operational exploit and patch tool for D-Link NAS devices vulnerable to CVE-2024-3272. The main exploit is implemented in Python (src/main.py), which interacts with the vulnerable /cgi-bin/nas_sharing.cgi endpoint on the target device. The tool can test for vulnerability, patch the device by disabling the system() call in the CGI binary, and optionally start or stop a telnet server for shell access. The patch is delivered as a base64-encoded shell script (src/patch.sh) that is executed on the device via command injection. The patch is not persistent and will be lost on reboot. The repository also includes documentation and decompiled function analysis (docs/decompiled-funcs.md) to aid understanding of the vulnerability and patch. The exploit targets D-Link NAS devices (such as DNS-320L) running vulnerable firmware, and the attack vector is network-based via HTTP. Key endpoints include the vulnerable CGI script and file paths involved in the patching process.
