This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2018-3252, a remote code execution vulnerability in Oracle WebLogic Server. The main code file, PoC.java, generates a malicious serialized Java object (poc4.ser) using gadget chains from the ysoserial project. The payload is designed to execute arbitrary commands (e.g., launching 'calc') on the vulnerable server. The exploit requires valid WebLogic credentials and targets the /bea_wls_deployment_internal/DeploymentService endpoint via an HTTP POST request. The README provides usage instructions and a sample HTTP request. The repository is structured with a single Java exploit file and a markdown README, and is intended for demonstration and testing of the vulnerability.
