List of CVEs: -
This module exploits an unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability in MVPower digital video recorders. The 'shell' file on the web interface executes arbitrary operating system commands in the query string. This module was tested successfully on a MVPower model TV-7104HE with firmware version 1.8.4 115215B9 (Build 2014/11/17). The TV-7108HE model is also reportedly affected, but untested.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- excellent: The exploit will never crash the service. This is the case for SQL Injection, CMD execution, RFI, LFI, etc. No typical memory corruption exploits should be given this ranking unless there are extraordinary circumstances. More information about ranking can be found here.
Basic Usage
msf > use exploit/linux/http/mvpower_dvr_shell_exec
msf exploit(mvpower_dvr_shell_exec) > exploit
Required Options
- RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'
