CVE-2024-48457 is an information disclosure vulnerability affecting multiple Netis router models, including NX10, NC65, NC63, NC21, and MW5360, across various firmware versions. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information by accessing the /cgi-bin/skk_set.cgi endpoint and the /bin/scripts/start_wifi.sh binary. This issue is part of a broader exploit chain targeting Netis routers, as documented by the researcher 'h00die-gr3y'.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting multiple Netis routers (and rebranded GLCtec/Stonet models) vulnerable to a chain of unauthenticated and authenticated vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-48455, CVE-2024-48456, CVE-2024-48457). The exploit leverages a command injection flaw in the router's web interface password change functionality, which can be reached unauthenticated due to a password reset flaw. The module is weaponized, supporting automated payload delivery (defaulting to a Meterpreter reverse shell for MIPSLE Linux) and credential storage. The exploit is network-based, targeting the router's HTTP interface (port 80 by default). The module includes detailed targeting for specific firmware versions, with references to firmware download URLs and CVEs. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, using the HttpClient, CmdStager, and FileDropper mixins for payload delivery and execution.
