CVE-2024-51980 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in a SOAP-based Web service exposed on HTTP TCP port 80. The issue arises from unsafe handling of the WS-Addressing ReplyTo element in SOAP requests, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause the target device to initiate a TCP connection to an arbitrary IP address and arbitrary port. The SSRF capability is limited: the attacker cannot control the payload sent on the outbound connection and cannot read any response data. As described, the flaw is primarily useful for inducing blind outbound TCP connections from the vulnerable device.

This repository contains proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit scripts for seven vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-51977 through CVE-2024-51983) affecting Brother multifunction printers and related OEM devices. Each exploit is implemented as a standalone Ruby script, targeting a specific CVE. The exploits cover a range of attack types: - CVE-2024-51977: Leaks sensitive information from the printer via unauthenticated HTTP(S)/IPP request to /etc/mnt_info.csv. - CVE-2024-51978: Allows an unauthenticated attacker to generate the device's default administrator password, either by leaking the serial number or by providing it directly. - CVE-2024-51979: Authenticated stack-based buffer overflow via crafted HTTP requests, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service. - CVE-2024-51980: Unauthenticated SSRF/port scan via SOAP requests, allowing the attacker to force the printer to open TCP connections to arbitrary internal hosts/ports. - CVE-2024-51981: Unauthenticated SSRF, forcing the device to perform arbitrary HTTP requests to internal or external hosts. - CVE-2024-51982: Unauthenticated device crash via malformed PJL commands sent over TCP port 9100. - CVE-2024-51983: Unauthenticated device crash via crafted SOAP requests to the printer's web services endpoint. The repository also includes a ReadMe.md with detailed descriptions, affected models, and usage instructions, as well as a simple Sinatra server (sinatra_server.rb) for testing SSRF payloads. All scripts are written in Ruby and require minimal dependencies (primarily 'httparty'). The exploits are PoC-level and focus on demonstrating the vulnerabilities rather than providing weaponized payloads. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting exposed printer services over HTTP, HTTPS, IPP, and PJL.
