CVE-2017-2824 is a command injection vulnerability in the trapper command functionality of Zabbix Server 2.4.X. The vulnerability allows an attacker to send specially crafted packets from an active Zabbix Proxy, which are improperly handled by the server, leading to arbitrary command execution on the server.

This repository contains two Python scripts (exp.py and poc.py) and a detailed readme.md documenting an exploit for CVE-2017-2824, a command injection vulnerability in Zabbix Server's trapper component. The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject shell commands via the 'ip' field during host registration, provided the server is configured to allow auto-registration and has at least one script (such as ping) enabled. - poc.py demonstrates the vulnerability by registering a host with a command that creates a file (/tmp/success) on the server, confirming code execution. - exp.py is a more advanced exploit that overcomes command length limitations by sending multiple registration requests, each writing a fragment of a reverse shell command to /tmp/1.sh, and finally executing the script to establish a reverse shell to the attacker's machine. The script iterates over possible host IDs to trigger the command execution. The exploit targets Zabbix Server versions 2.4.x and 3.0.x prior to 3.0.4, and requires network access to the Zabbix trapper port (10051). The attack vector is network-based, and the main fingerprintable endpoints are the TCP port 10051 and the file paths /tmp/1.sh and /tmp/success on the target. The repository is operational in maturity, providing a working exploit with a customizable payload for remote code execution.
