IBM Tivoli Monitoring Portal v6 contains a vulnerability that allows a local or network-adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system when default client-server communications (HTTP) are used. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient validation or sanitization of user-supplied input in the communication process, enabling command injection.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2017-11882, a vulnerability in Microsoft Equation Editor. The main file, 'webdav_exec_CVE-2017-11882.py', generates a malicious RTF document with embedded OLE objects crafted to exploit the vulnerability. When the RTF is opened on a vulnerable Windows system, it triggers the Equation Editor to execute commands that start the WebClient service and run a remote executable hosted on a WebDAV share. The script requires the attacker to specify the WebDAV URL, the remote executable name, and the output path for the generated RTF file. The README is minimal and only notes the repository is for malware analysis testing. The exploit is a functional PoC and does not include a payload beyond executing a remote file, but it demonstrates the attack chain for remote code execution via malicious document delivery.
