A path traversal vulnerability in FUJITSU Network Edgiot GW1500 (M2M-GW for FENICS) allows a remote authenticated attacker with User Class privileges to send specially crafted requests that access restricted files containing sensitive information. This can lead to the compromise of Administrator Class privileges.

This repository provides a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-40617, targeting Fujitsu M2M GW1500 devices. The exploit leverages both SSH (port 50022) and FTP (port 50021) services, requiring valid admin credentials. The main script, CVE-2024-40617-PoC.py, automates the following steps: (1) connects to the target via SSH and FTP, (2) copies the /etc/passwd file from the device, (3) modifies the admin user's shell to /bin/bash in the passwd file, (4) uploads the modified file back to the device, and (5) triggers the replacement of the original /etc/passwd, granting the attacker a Bash shell as admin via SSH. The repository consists of the exploit script and a README with usage instructions and references. The exploit is operational and demonstrates a real privilege escalation attack, but does not include a vulnerability check function (marked as TODO).
