This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2015-2166, a directory traversal vulnerability in Ericsson Drutt Mobile Service Delivery Platform (MSDP) versions 4, 5, and 6. The exploit script (CVE-2015-2166.py) allows an attacker to test a single URL, a list of URLs, or an IP range for the vulnerability. It works by appending a crafted directory traversal payload (using encoded slashes) to the target URL, attempting to access sensitive files such as /etc/passwd. If successful, the script prints the contents of the file, demonstrating the vulnerability. The README.md provides background on the vulnerability, affected versions, impact, mitigation steps, and a technical explanation. The exploit is a standalone script, not part of a framework, and is intended for security testing and demonstration purposes.
