Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2025-34093. PoCs published by Paul Haas, Mumbai, staaldraad, including Metasploit module exploits/unix/misc/polycom_hdx_traceroute_exec.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability in Polycom HDX devices via simultaneous telnet connections, followed by command injection in the ping command to achieve remote code execution as root.

Description

An authenticated command injection vulnerability exists in the Polycom HDX Series command shell interface accessible over Telnet. The lan traceroute command in the devcmds console accepts unsanitized input, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary system commands. By injecting shell metacharacters through the traceroute interface, an attacker can achieve remote code execution under the context of the root user. This flaw affects systems where Telnet access is enabled and either unauthenticated access is allowed or credentials are known.
