Loading vulnerability…
webcamXP versions 5.3.2.375 and 5.3.2.410 build 2132 contain a directory traversal vulnerability in URI handling. A remote attacker can include an encoded dot-dot-slash sequence in a request URI to traverse outside the intended directory and read arbitrary files.

This repository contains a Bash script (CVE-2008-5862.sh) and a README.md file. The script is an exploit for CVE-2008-5862, a directory traversal vulnerability in webcamXP versions 5.3.2.375 and 5.3.2.410 on Windows. The exploit works by sending HTTP requests with encoded directory traversal sequences (e.g., /..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fboot.ini) to the target webcamXP server. If the server is vulnerable, the script can retrieve sensitive files such as boot.ini and windows/repair/sam. The script first checks if the target is running webcamXP by inspecting the HTTP Server header, then attempts to access the files using crafted payloads. The README provides background on the vulnerability, usage disclaimers, and version information. The exploit is a proof-of-concept for remote file read via network attack vector, requiring only the target's URL and no authentication.
