Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 3 public exploits for CVE-2013-10050. PoCs published by Metasploit, m-1-k-3, including Metasploit module exploits/linux/http/dlink_dir300_exec_telnet.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability in D-Link routers via the `tools_vct.xgi` endpoint. It supports two exploitation methods: direct command execution or spawning a telnet backdoor service.

Description

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in multiple D-Link routers (confirmed on DIR-300 rev A v1.05 and DIR-615 rev D v4.13) via the authenticated tools_vct.xgi CGI endpoint. The web interface fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input in the pingIp parameter, allowing attackers with valid credentials to inject arbitrary shell commands. Exploitation enables full device compromise, including spawning a telnet daemon and establishing a root shell. The vulnerability is present in firmware versions that expose tools_vct.xgi and use the Mathopd/1.5p6 web server. No vendor patch is available, and affected models are end-of-life.
