CVE-2025-34093 is an authenticated command injection vulnerability in the Polycom HDX Series command shell interface accessible via Telnet. The vulnerability resides in the 'lan traceroute' command within the devcmds console, which fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. This allows an attacker with Telnet access (either via known credentials or unauthenticated access if enabled) to inject shell metacharacters and execute arbitrary system commands as root.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'polycom_hdx_traceroute_exec.rb', which exploits a command execution vulnerability (CVE-2025-34093) in Polycom HDX Series devices. The exploit targets the device's command shell, accessible via Telnet (default port 23), and abuses the 'lan traceroute' developer command to execute arbitrary shell commands. The module supports both authenticated and unauthenticated access, depending on device configuration. Upon successful exploitation, it stages a payload (default: reverse shell) using openssl s_client to connect back to an attacker-controlled listener. The code is written in Ruby and follows standard Metasploit module structure, with options for specifying target address, port, authentication password, and callback host/port. The exploit is weaponized, allowing for customizable payloads and automated exploitation within the Metasploit framework.
