CVE-2023-6319 is an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in the getAudioMetadata method of the com.webos.service.attachedstoragemanager service on LG webOS TV versions 4 through 7. According to the provided content, the vulnerable code path is reached during audio metadata and lyric file processing: when an .mp3 file and a matching .lrc lyrics file are present, and the .lrc file begins with the bytes \xFF\xFE\x00\x00, the service invokes the iconv binary using an unsanitized filename. Because attacker-controlled input is incorporated into a system command without proper sanitization, specially crafted requests can trigger arbitrary command execution. The issue was reported as affecting webOS 4.9.7, 5.5.0, 6.3.3-442, and 7.3.1-43 on tested LG TV models.

This repository contains a Python exploit script ('rootmytv.py') targeting LG webOS TVs vulnerable to CVE-2023-6319. The exploit works by running a local HTTP server on the attacker's machine (port 8089) and using the webOS TV's download manager to fetch files with specially crafted filenames from this server. These filenames are constructed to inject a command that starts the telnet daemon ('telnetd') on the TV, granting root access via telnet (port 23). The script interacts with the TV over the network using the bscpylgtv library, and requires the attacker to know both their own LAN IP and the TV's IP. The README provides clear instructions and lists tested TV models and firmware versions. The exploit is operational and provides a root shell on the TV if successful. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present, but the script dynamically uses user-supplied or autodetected LAN IPs for payload delivery. The repository is well-structured, with a single main exploit script, a requirements file, and documentation.
