Proof-of-concept exploit demonstrating command injection via BLE service in Norton Core Secure WiFi Router (CVE-2018-5234). Includes SSH access setup and BlueZ integration.
For more information read paper.
To demonstrate the exploitation, we will use:
In order to use the script, we will need to set all dependencies in a advance:
$ pip install -r ./requirements.txt
With the help of BlueZ utilities, we should ensure Bluetooth is enabled and
functions properly.
Restart the router to provide access to the engineering page.
Start the PoC on behalf of the root user (required for operating with Bluetooth) with the command on executing as an argument:
$ ./ble_norton_core.py "/etc/init.d/dropbear start"
After the script is successfully executed, we get access to the device via
the SSH connection. We put root as a user and admin as password:
$ ssh [email protected]
