This repository provides a Proof of Concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2017-16744 and CVE-2017-16748, targeting Tridium Niagara AX (3.8 and prior) and Niagara 4 (4.4 and prior). The repository contains two main exploit scripts: a Python script (Tridium-PoC-Final-2.py) and a Bash script (Tridium-PoC-Final.sh). Both scripts attempt to exploit a directory traversal vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to the /niagara/ endpoint of a target Tridium Niagara server. The Python script prompts the user for a target URL and sends a request with a specific Authorization header, then searches the response for indicators of vulnerability. The Bash script demonstrates similar requests using curl, including an example of a directory traversal payload. The README provides background, affected versions, and references to advisories. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the user must supply the target. The exploit is a PoC and does not provide a weaponized or automated payload, but demonstrates the vulnerability and potential for unauthorized file access.
