'Name' => 'Hikvision IP Camera Unauthenticated Command Injection',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits an unauthenticated command injection in a variety of Hikvision IP
cameras (CVE-2021-36260). The module inserts a command into an XML payload used with an
HTTP PUT request sent to the `/SDK/webLanguage` endpoint, resulting in command execution
as the `root` user.

This module specifically attempts to exploit the blind variant of the attack. The module
was successfully tested against an HWI-B120-D/W using firmware V5.5.101 build 200408. It
was also tested against an unaffected DS-2CD2142FWD-I using firmware V5.5.0 build 170725.
Please see the Hikvision advisory for a full list of affected products.

# 1. Is the endpoint a Hikvision camera?

# to exploitation with a 500. Notes from bashis' exploit indicates that

# /dav/%s.tar.gz

# snprintf will let us reclaim '.tar.gz' so in reality, there are 26 bytes for
# our payload. We need 3 bytes to invoke our injection: $(). Leaving 23 bytes
# for payload. The 'echo' stager has a minium of 26 bytes but we obviously don't
# have that much space. We can steal the extra space from the "random" file name
# and compress ' >> ' to '>>'. That will get us below 23. Squeezing the extra
# bytes will also allow printf stager to do more than 1 byte per exploitation.
