Description
This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in the Huawei
HG532n routers provided by TE-Data Egypt, leading to a root shell.
The router's web interface has two kinds of logins, a "limited" user:user
login given to all customers and an admin mode. The limited mode is used
here to expose the router's telnet port to the outside world through NAT
port-forwarding.
With telnet now remotely accessible, the router's limited "ATP command
line tool" (served over telnet) can be upgraded to a root shell through
an injection into the ATP's hidden "ping" command.
